Influence of Sic Reinforcement on Mechanical Properties of AA2024 Metal Matrix Composites (Ammc) Fabricated via Stir Casting Method: A Review

Abstract

This research explores into the impact of different reinforcements on the mechanical properties of AA2024 Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). Specifically, it meticulously investigates the effect of varying weight percentages (wt%) of Silicon Carbide (SiC) on the mechanical characteristics of AA2024 MMCs. The study employs the stir casting technique, a widely recognized method in composite fabrication, to meticulously integrate SiC particles into the AA2024 aluminum matrix. Stir casting ensures the homogeneous dispersion of the reinforcements throughout the aluminum matrix, thereby enhancing the structural integrity and mechanical properties of the resulting composites. The findings derived from this study hold significant implications for the optimization of AA2024 MMCs in various engineering applications. By exposing the intricate relationship between reinforcement type, weight percentage, and mechanical properties, this research contributes to the development of tailored MMCs with enhanced performance characteristics. These insights are poised to guide future endeavors in the design and fabrication of MMCs, facilitating advancements in lightweight, high-strength materials for diverse industrial applications.
