Fabrication and Characterization of Copper Graphite Composite

Abstract

Metal matrix composites have superior properties and performance in comparison to the pure metals that justifies their added cost. The present work includes fabrication of metal matrix composite having copper as a base metal and Graphite as the reinforcement. The mechanical testing of the fabricated composite is performed and the mechanical properties are compared with the properties of pure Copper. Mechanical properties of the fabricated composite were found superior to the pure metal.
