Abstract
Aluminium alloy Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are gaining wide spread acceptance for automobile and aerospace applications because of their low density, high strength and good structural rigidity. Several technical challenges exist with casting technology. Achieving a uniform distribution of reinforcement within the matrix is one such challenge, which affects directly on the properties and quality of composites. In the present work an attempt has been made to synthesize LM24Al-Iron oxide particulate metal matrix composites by liquid metallurgy route (stir casting technique). The addition level of reinforcement is being varied from 0-7.5 wt. %, in steps of 2.5wt%. Wear resistance of LM24Al- iron oxide composite is increased with addition of iron content. By mixing LM24Al alloy with small amount distribution of iron oxide increase in the hardness of the component is also achieved.
