Influence of the Grit size of Silicon Carbide Particles on the Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Stir Casting Aluminum Matrix Composite Material
This paper studies the influence of the grit size of silicon carbide particles on the mechanical and electrical properties of stir cast aluminum matrix composites. A two step-mixing method of stir casting technique at (500 rpm) has been adopted. Type 1170 Al with (99.66 % C.P) and silicon carbide (SiC) particulates of 240 grit size (45 μm), 320 grit size (29 μm), 600 grit size (9 μm) and...
