Abstract
Composites have been used as the needed material of current interest to curb deficiencies and meeting the ever-increasing demand in science and technology. In this study, production was done by stir casting method and the mechanical properties of AA606l/clay were assessed. The cast was manufactured with liquid metallurgy route through the reinforcement of 2 - 8 weight percentages of particle sizes of 75 μm clay. The microstructural test such as SEM/EDS and mechanical properties were examined. From the results, the mechanical properties were found to increase at 8 % clay reinforcement. SEM images showed that uniform dispersal of particulates occur in the cast and an increase up to 8 % clay revealed significant blending of matrix and reinforcement as evidenced in the surface morphology study.
