Investigation of the Effect of Solution Hardening on Mechanical Properties of Al 7075Ã?¢Ã?â?¬Ã?â??SiC Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract
Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) are most vital invention in the field of material processing due to their flexibility in
the mechanical properties such as tensile, impact and hardness by modifying the reinforcement weight fraction to
the matrix and the desirable property can be obtained by just changing the reinforcement material where as the
property is extinct to the matrix metal. Solution hardening is widely used hardening process for non ferrous alloys
and sometimes to ferrous alloys to improve the hardness and it is very effective in improving the hardness of the
aluminum based alloys and it is widely accepted as one the hardness improvement process.
