摘要：The present study deals with the investigation of effect of reinforcement (Zirconium dioxide) particles onmechanical properties of aluminium alloy (Al6061) composites, fabricated by stir casting method. The MMC’sspecimens were prepared by varying weight fraction of the reinforced particles as 0 Wt.%, 2.5 Wt.%, 5 Wt.%, and 7.5Wt.% and keeping all other parameters constant. The microstructure and mechanical properties of fabricated MMC’swere analysed. Microstructural studies of the MMC’s reveal a uniform distribution of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)particles in the Al6061 matrix. The mechanical properties like hardness, tensile strength and impact strength wereimproved with the increase in weight fraction of zirconium dioxide particles in the aluminium matrix. It was observedthat the elongation decrease with increase weight fraction of zirconium dioxide particles in the aluminium matrix.
