Abstract :
Graphene is an extraordinary material being
the lightest and strongest material, it has an incredible
mechanical property. It being allotrope of carbon, also
has exclusive optical and thermal properties, which
make it evident filler for producing multipurpose
composites significantly metal matrix composites.
Aluminium contributing to highly used metal due its cost
effectiveness, corrosion resistance and light weightiness
in numerous industries. Aiming to synthesize aluminium
metal matrix reinforced with graphene nano filler and to
investigate its mechanical behavior by using stir casting
method. By varying the weight percentages of graphene
nano particulates are used to fabricate metal matrix
composite by using 6061 Aluminium grade. The
developed nano composite is further verified by
metallurgical microscopic images to discuss the
distribution of reinforcement in the metal matrix base.
The strength of the developed composite is determined
by tensile test, hardness of the material by Brinell’s
hardness test and toughness by impact test. The
interference of two material causing various properties
to change in the material and helps in choosing the best
combination for our required material for the product.
