Abstract

Aluminum reinforced alumina composite is a material commonly used in the automotive industry, such as components of piston rings, connecting rods, to engine blocks. This composite paper is a review paper on the effect of nano alumina addition on the AC4B (Al-Si-Cu) aluminum alloy matrix, particularly on the mechanical and microstructural characteristics. This composite was fabricated by the stir casting method. The microstructure of composites was observed by using optical microscopy. The mechanical properties perform in this study are tensile strength, hardness, and impact toughness which were influenced by the amount of nano alumina reinforcement particles in the Al-Si-Cu matrix. This research results that Al-10Si-2Cu composite having an optimum tensile strength value is 200.61 MPa at 0.35 Vf%, an optimum hardness is 57 HRB at 0.35 Vf%, and optimum impact strength is 0.275 J/mm2 at 0.25 Vf% nano-alumina.
