摘要：Metal matrix composite of aluminium alloy (Al 6063) matrix reinforced with titanium carbide (TiC)particulates was fabricated by stir casting technique. Aluminium alloy is selected as the matrix materials and titaniumcarbide particulates were in co-operated with varying proportions of 2wt% 4wt% and 6wt%. Stirring was done toarchive uniform distribution of reinforcement particulates and rectangular and round shaped castings were made bypouring the composite mixture in sand mould. The composite was then studied with respect to its micro structure andmechanical properties. Tensile specimens as per ASTM standards were machined to find out the mechanical propertiesof composite. Comparative study for all the said composites is done with respect to tensile strength, wear and microhardness. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to observe the distribution of particulates to understand thenature of fractured surface.
