Abstract:
Smart materials are in picture due to the requirement of light weight and high strength material having good
mechanical properties for different application. Copper material composite acquire all the requirement properties for
the applications. Copper Silicon Carbide composite material made using stir casting investigation is carried out to
check different properties of Cu-SiC Particulate Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites. Also machining parameters
are checked for the application of PRMMC in industry. Copper (Cu) has a better thermal conductivity than
aluminum (Al), therefore, copper should be the best candidate as thermal material. With the presence of silicon
carbide (SiC) as reinforcement, copper silicon carbide should be able to perform better as a heat spreader or a heat
sink than aluminum silicon carbide (AlSiC) metal matrix composite.
