Objective and Scope of the work

The main objective of this project work is to fabricate the Al 7075 base hybrid metal matrix
composite reinforced with 10 weight percentage of Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3)(125 micrometer)
and varying weight percentage of Kyanite in varying particle size of 120 mesh (125 micro meter)
(Aluminium Silicate) (i.e. 2%, 4% & 6%). As s low cost ceramic material to enhance the
Mechanical and Trio biological properties of composites.

The Aluminum metal hybrid metal matrix composite are prepared by stir casting process and we
test for mechanical properties (Tensile, Impact test) and Tribiological properties(hardness test) as
per ASTM Standard .
Key Methodology and Tentative Project
Plan
Procurement of Al7075 and Alumina and Kyanite .
Separate the size of the powder of reinforcement using Sieve
Analysis.
The fabrication of composite by using the Stir casting process.

Characterization of the newly evolved material system of

mechanical properties would be evaluated as prevailing ASTM
standards.
Tensile Strength- ASTM E8/E8M
Impact Test - Charpy test ISO 148-1
Hardness test- Brinell hardness test IS 1500-2005
Expected Outcome and Conclusion
The research work is to increase the
mechanical strength and Trio biological
properties of Metal matrix composites for
aerospace applications. Kyanite is ceramic
material gives strength and recommended for
high temperature
Aluminum applications
Hybrid in Aerospace.
Composites can be
developed with high strength and low weight
with improved mechanical properties with low
cost reinforcement which are naturally
available ceramic material like kyanite.

This research will tend to support a number of defence and aerospace

applications.
