Abstract

The paper describes the fabrication of Aluminium-Magnesium-Graphene-Yttrium oxide particulate composites produced using casting method. The size of the Graphene and Yttrium Oxide particulate is ranging between 20-40 µm and 40-60 nm. The Graphene contents are varied from 2% and 4% by weight and Yttrium of 4% and are dispersed in the alloy matrix. After the casting process, the mechanical properties are mainly been tested, particularly their tensile and hardness of composites is measured. The microstructure of the composite material is mainly determined using a Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM).
