  • Abstract:
  • Conventional monolithic materials have limitations in gaining proper combination of strength, hardness, stiffness, density and toughness. Metal matrix composites (MMC’s) are most promising materials in application areas such as Automotive, aeronautical, marine etc. Metal matrix materials have high performance and better economic benefits. In this present research work Taguchi method is used to study the effects of different input process parameters namely wt. % of Al2O3, Stirring speed and stirring time on the Hardness, tensile and impact strength of stir casted Al6082/Al2O3/Al2SiO5.Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal ray is used for experimental design and it shows wt. % of Al2O3 is higher influential parameter. Three process parameters i.e. wt. % of Al2O3 (3, 6, 9), stirring speed (150, 200, 250 rpm) and stirring time (5, 10, 15 min) are used to Fabricate samples of MMC’s. Each parameter has 3 levels.
