Fabrication and Evaluation of Mechanical Behaviours of Metal Matrix Composite for Brake Drum

Abstract

This paper engages in the progress of AA6061 with Silicon carbide and Graphite particles, which can be used for automobile brake drum. Weight reduction, ease of use and desired mechanical properties need to be accomplished by this metal matrix composite. After the fabrication of the brake drum, it is to be tested for tensile, impact and hardness. A comparison made for different composition concludes the composite having better properties. The brake system is the most important system in the vehicle. It changes over the active vitality of moving the vehicle into warm vitality while halting. The essential elements of brake drums are to moderate the speed of the vehicle. Point of the undertaking is the car part light weighing is one of the significant objectives for growing light-weight elite segments. With a specific end goal to accomplish weight funds in vehicles, the light-weight high -performance components are increasingly using aluminium, magnesium, plastics, and composites. Developing light weight and high strength component is made by the Hybrid composite material. The utilization of Hybrid composite is turning into a suitable answer for help the new controls of the Automobile business.
