Production and characterization of AA6061/clay silicon nanocomposite for industrial application

Composites have been used as the needed material of current interest to curb deficiencies and meeting ever-increasing demand in science technology. In this study, production was done by stir casting method mechanical properties AA606l/clay were assessed. The cast manufactured with liquid metallurgy route through reinforcement 2 - 8 weight percentages particle sizes 75 µm clay. microstructural test such SEM/EDS examined. From results, found increase at % clay reinforcement. SEM images showed that uniform dispersal particulates occur an up revealed significant blending matrix evidenced surface morphology study.
