Effect of Varying Silicon Carbide Particulate on the Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Based Alloy Automobile Brake Disc Component

In the current study, effect of varying Silicon Carbide particulate on the mechanical properties of Aluminium based alloy automobile brake disc component was investigated. The result of experimental investigation on mechanical properties of Silicon Carbide particle reinforced Aluminium Matrix was achieved for composite brake disc using universal tensile test machine, Rockwell hardness testing machine and numerical/theoretical model. The influence  of reinforced ratio of  ۵,  ۱۰, ۱۵ ۲۰, and ۲۵  weight  percentage  of  Silicon  Carbide particles on  mechanical properties was  examined. Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites containing, ۵, ۱۰, ۱۵, ۲۰, and ۲۵   weight percentages of reinforcement Particles was obtained using Stir-Casting method. The result obtained showed that highest Yield Strength (۳۵۰.۶۴MPa), Modulus of Rigidity (۶۱۳۷.۴MPa), and Hardness (۷۶.۵Kg/mm۲) was obtained on ۲۵wt%SiC (۱۹۰μm) particle reinforcements.
