Abstract

In current scenario aluminium and their alloys exchanged by composite materials in the field of automobile because of fewer corrosiveness and less weight. The present work represent as AA6061 used as matrix material, SiC and various leaf ashes (bamboo leaf, neem leaf and tamarind ashes) used as reinforcement. Advance bottom pouring stir casting machine has used to develop the composites. Vickers hardness testing method used to calculate the hardness of composite samples. Finally, the mechanical and tribological properties of the composites were evaluated, and their relation to the corresponding microstructure and wear worn surface of the composites was discussed.
