Abstract : Aluminium alloy composites are widely used because of their higher strength, stiffness and good wear resistance. In
producing these composites the reinforcing materials used in common have been silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, boron
carbide and graphite in the form of particles or whiskers. The ceramic particles reinforced aluminum composites are new
generation materials which can be tailored for particular properties for specific application requirements. The particulates
reinforced composite have best plastic forming ability than that of whisker or fiber counterpart and hence have emerged as
most demanding reinforcements with great cost advantage. The particulate reinforced composites have been proved to be most
suitable for heat and wear resistance applications. In the present study microstructure, hardness, tensile and impact properties
of AA 6061based composite reinforced with Grey Cast Iron (GCI) is analyzed and presented. The presence of Grey Cast Iron
resulted in improving the mechanical properties of their respective composites. The micrographs of the composites studied
revealed the uniform distribution of the particles in the matrix system. Comparison of the characteristics study before and after
heat treatment was done and it was found that there is an improvement in hardness, tensile strength and impact resistance of the
composites as well as AA 6061 alloy after heat treatment.
