Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Equal Channel Angular Formed Al6061 and Graphite Metal Matrix Composite

Continual interest, recent research, and development in the field of Composite Materials motivated to entitle “Comparative Study of the Mechanical Properties of Al6061 with Graphite undergoing Equal Channel Angular pressing”. The title introduces Equal channel angular pressing process in comparative study. The present work incorporates a stir casting technique in preparation of Al6061 with varying percentage of graphite and further undergoing Equal channel Angular pressing process to compare hardness and corrosion properties between them. This study comprises of comparative microstructural study. The comparative study results showed that the Al6061 with graphite undergone equal channel angular pressing process has increased strength, hardness, weight of material and fine microstructure.
