The Present research has focused on mechanical behaviour of aluminium oxide reinforced
aluminium metal matrix composites. Aluminium metal matrix composites are fabricated
using stir casting process by varying the reinforcement percentage volumes between 0 and
10, with 30 μm particles size. To study the mechanical behaviour through the effect of
weight percentage of aluminium oxide, the fabricated specimens are tested for the
mechanical and physical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and density and
these values are compared with theoretical values which are obtained through the rule of
mixtures. The mechanical properties of the composites are found to be greatly influenced
with increasing the percentage volume of the reinforcement. Also it was observed that the
experimental values of mechanical behaviour of AMMCs are nearer to the theoretical
values.
