Abstract
Aluminium metal matrix composite is worth for automobile applications on account of their attractive physical and mechanical propertiess and strength to weight ratio consideration. In this study, composites with two different reinforcements (SiC, Al
2O
3) were prepared using stir casting setup. The properties of the developed composites were studied and the values were reported. It was noted that reinforcements increased the strength and reduced the weight of the composites. In this work, Fabrication of composite with Al.6061-20% SiC- 7% Al
2O
3 for IC engine Pushrod and structural analysis were main objectives. ANSYS workbench software package was utilized to study the structural stability of the pushrod.
