Abstract :
Aluminum metal matrix composite have the potential to replace the conventional materials because of
obtaining superior properties such as high specific strength, high stiffness, high hardness, high wear resistance and
low density. In the past three decades composite materials were playing a vital role in various sectors especially in
aeronautical, avionics and automotive sectors. The present works dealt with the mechanical behaviour of aluminum
metal matrix reinforced with graphene particles in different weight fractions such as 0.33%, 0.55% and 0.77% were
prepared by stir casting method. The result revealed that 0.33% weight fraction of graphene is recommended for
obtaining optimum results by stir casting process.
