Date of Publication :8th August 2022

Abstract: Metal matrix composites are formed by combination of two or more materials having dissimilar characteristics. In the present investigation, Aluminium (7075) is taken as base matrix metal, Tungsten Carbide particulate and Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) as reinforcements. The metal matrix composites are fabricated by stir-casting process. The Tungsten Carbide particulate was added in proportions of 1%, 1.5% and 2% and Molybdenum Disulphide was added in constant proportion of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on mass fraction basis to the molten metal. The different combination sets of composites were prepared. The different combination sets of composites were prepared. Mechanical properties like hardness and tensile strength were studied for both reinforced and unreinforced Al7075 samples. From the results, it was found that the hardness and tensile strength of the prepared metal matrix composites increases with increasing weight percentage of Tungsten Carbide
