Abstract
Hybrid metal matrix composites are used in many industries due to its strength. Composites can be prepared using stir casting method. In this paper, an Al 7075 alloy is used as the matrix with varying weight percentage of Silicon carbide and Boron Carbide particles as the reinforcement material. In this study tensile strength, compression strength and hardness of the composite specimen were discussed. Results showed that there is a considerable increase in hardness and tensile strength of the fabricated composites than the base metal
