ABSTRACT

 Two phases namely a matrix and a reinforcement phase constitute composite materials. Most of studies shows that the material used for components should posses better mechanical and tribological properties. In this paper five samples were prepared by using stir casting. First sample is Al7068, second sample consist of Al7068 with 2% SiC and 8%Tur Husk, third sample consist of Al7068 with 4% SiC and 6% Tur Husk the fourth sample consist of Al7068 with 6% SiC and 4% Tur Husk and the fifth sample is of Al7068 with 8%SiC and 2%Tur Husk. It was found that tensile strength and impact is increased when SiC and Tur Husk is added to Al7068. Wear is decreased when SiC and Tur Husk is added to Al7068.
