description This thesis mainly focuses on the effect of reinforcement volume fraction on the mechanical properties of Al-SiC composite. Nowadays, there are many approach is used to enhance the mechanical properties of composite. The only argument is which method will deliver the most effective result and exhibited better mechanical properties. The decrease in volume fraction of SiC particle increase its ductility but the hardness is decrease. Therefore, the objectives of this thesis is to investigate the effect of volume fraction on the mechanical properties of Al-SiC and to optimize the mechanical properties of Al-SiC to obtain optimum volume fraction. The experiment was carried out by the powder metallurgy process. The raw materials was mixed and compact in the hydraulic press to make the green compact samples.
