The influence of the addition of silicon carbide (SiC) reinforcement on the microstructural and mechanical properties of functionally graded aluminum metal matrix composites fabricated through the centrifugal casting technique was investigated. Hardness and tensile strength testing were carried out on reinforced and non-reinforced cast materials. | Influence of sicp reinforcement on the mechanical properties of functionally graded aluminum metal matrix composites fabricated by centrifugal casting technique
