摘要：The particle reinforced aluminium based metal matrix composites are gaining importance due to theirease in manufacturing large volumes and property advantages. Cenosphere fly ash is one of the most inexpensive andlow density material which is abundantly available as solid waste by-product of coal combustion in thermal powerplants. Hence the present research work was undertaken with an objective to explore the utilization of low costcenosphere as a reinforcing material in aluminium alloy (AA) 6063. The manufacturing method adopted for producingcenosphere-AA6063 was stir-casting which was customized to suit the current study. The volume percentages ofcenosphere particulate considered were 5, 10, 15 and 20 used throughout the study. The composites were tested fordensity, hardness, compressive strength, tensile strength and Coefficient of thermal expansion as per ASTM standardsand the results were compared with base alloy.
