This research made an attempt to synthesize aluminum metal matrix composites through stir casting technique. The matrix material chosen in this study was AA7050 and the reinforcement material was ZrSiO4. The composites AA7050, AA7050-10%ZrSiO4, and AA7050-15%ZrSiO4 were used. The wear behavior of the aluminium matrix composites was investigated by using pin-on-disc tribometer. The advanced material has substantial development in tribological behavior when the reinforcement percentage is increased. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that sliding distance of 1200 m, applied load of 3 N and sliding speed of 2 m/s result in minimum wear loss and coefficient of friction, while adding 10%ZrSiO4 to the AA7050.

Metal is the one of the important material in engineering materials because of their high strength to weight ratio. However the pure metals cannot be used as engineering materials due to their ductile property. So, to improve their mechanical properties, some of the high strength materials (not metals) were added as reinforcement to improve the mechanical properties of pure metals and the newly developed material is called as metal matrix composites. At present, Aluminium, Copper, Magnesium, Titanium and Iron have been used as matrix materials and materials like TiC, SiC, B4C, WC, Cr3C, TiO2, ZrO2, Gr, MoS2 and Si3N4 have been used as reinforcements. There are many processing techniques to fabricate metal matrix composites namely stir casting, ultra-sonic assisted casting, compo-casting, rheo casting, powder metallurgy technique, etc,. Among these, stir casting process is the most suitable and economical method to fabricate the metal matrix composites. In this article, an effort has been made to review the work of various researchers to fabricate metal matrix composites through stir casting process.

In this research, an experimental investigation of the machining characteristics of Aluminium Alloy 7075 T6 in CNC milling machine using High Speed Steel (HSS) cutting tool had been carried out. In machining operation, the quality of surface finish is an important requirement for milled work pieces. Thus, the choice of optimized cutting parameters is very important for controlling the required quality. The purpose of this research is focused on the analysis of optimum cutting conditions for minimum surface roughness and maximum material removal rate in CNC milling of Aluminium Alloy 7075 T6 by Taguchi method. Experiment have been carried out based on L16 standard orthogonal array design with three process parameters namely Spindle Speed, Feed rate, Depth of Cut. The results of the machining experiments were used to characterize the main factors affecting surface finishing and material removal rate by signal to noise ratio and analysis of variance method. Feed rate is the most significant process parameters for surface roughness and depth of cut is the most significant process parameters for material removal rate.
