Fabrication and Analysis of a Composite Produced by Stir Casting

Stir casting is recognized as a predominantly capable process, and its advantages turn over in its effortlessness and flexibility to massive manufacturing. The fabrication of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AMMCs) using stir casting technique by varying the amount of hybrid reinforcement particles of Titanium Diboride and Graphite. The hybrid reinforcement particles of 2%, 4%, and 6% were used for the fabrication of composite with AL6082 as the matrix material. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, hardness, and wear were evaluated.
