Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace and automobile industries due to their low density and good mechanical properties, better corrosion resistance and wear, low thermal coefficient of expansion as compared to conventional metals and alloys. The excellent mechanical properties of these materials and relatively low production cost make them a very attractive candidate for a variety of applications both from scientific and technological viewpoints. In the present investigations an attempt has been made on the study of performance characteristics of Al 6061 reinforcing with varying SiC content composite for varying process parameters. The composite is prepared by stir casting process in an electric melting furnace. The experimental study is performed varying weight % of Silicon carbide powder, pouring temperature and stirring time. The methodology based on orthogonal array Taguchi’s analysis of variance (ANOVA) and signals to noise ratio (S/N Ratio) were employed to optimize the performance characteristics like Hardness and Surface roughness of developed Al 6061-SiC composite.
