 Material used and specifications
ALUMINIUM 7075:-
 It is high grade type of aluminium of 7 series
 7075 aluminium alloy is an aluminium alloy , with zinc as the
primary alloying element
 7075 aluminium alloy's composition roughly includes
1) 5.6–6.1% zinc,
2) 2.1–2.5% magnesium,
3) 1.2–1.6% copper,
4) And less than a half percent of silicon, iron, manganese,
titanium, chromium, and other metals.

Why aluminium 7075 ?
 It is strong, with a strength comparable to many steels.
 It has good fatigue strength and average machinibility .
 It has lower resistance to corrosion than many other aluminium
alloys.
 It has maximum tensile strength of 280 Mpa, and maximum yield
strength 140 Mpa.
 The material has an elongation of 9–10%.
 7075 aluminum alloy is highly corrosion-resistant combined with
generally acceptable strength profile.
 Due to their high strength-to-density ratio 7000 series alloys such as
7075 are often used in transport applications, including marine,
automative and aviation.

TITANIUM CARBIDE:-
 Titanium carbide, Tic , is an
extremely hard refractory ceramic material, similar to tungsten
carbide.
 It has the appearance of black powder with the sodium
chloride crystal structure.
 As found in nature its crystals range in size from 0.1 to 0.3mm

 STIRCASTING OF MMC
• Stir Casting is a liquid state method of composite
materials fabrication, in which a dispersed phase
(ceramic particles) is mixed with a molten matrix metal
by means of mechanical stirring.
• Stir Casting is the simplest and the most cost
effective method of liquid state fabrication.
• Three combinations of reinforcement (5%, 7%, 9%, of
TiC) are fabricated with aluminium 7075 metal
matrix.
