Abstract
The Aluminium matrix composite reinforced with 5 and 7.5 wt. % TiC nano particles was
prepared by stir casting route. The high strength AA 6063 was selected as matrix material. This
composite is expected to be used in aerospace, automotive and similar engineering industries. The
addition of 5 and 7.5 wt. % of nano TiC as the particulate in the matrix of AA6063, the microstructure
can be greatly changed. Hence the detailed study of the micro structure of the composites was carriedout.
The microstructure of AA 6063 - 5 and 7.5 wt. % TiC nano composites were analyzed using optical
microscope and reported. The stress-strain analysis was done using ANSYS software and it was
correlated with the microstructure of the composite.
