EFFECT OF WEIGHT PERCENTAGE OF SILICON CARBIDE ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND MICROSTUCTURE OF ALUMINIUM COMPOSITES
The effects of silicon carbide (SiC) addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminum metal matrix composites are investigated. Aluminum alloy samples with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% SiC composition by weight were fabricated by casting along with a control sample consisting only the Aluminum matrix. Th...
