Popis: The machining process of cryogenic treated composite materials is a challenging task and the process of machining these materials is treated to be an important technique among the manufacturing process. The present study involves the processing of Al6061-SiC composite material by stir casting process, wherein pre-heated SiC particles are added as reinforcement. The primary processed composites are subjected to cryogenic treatment and the mechanical properties, thermal properties are evaluated to study the influence of cryogenic treatment. The tests include the Hardness test, Impact test and Thermal Conductivity test. Results of the present investigation include improved mechanical properties in terms of hardness, improved thermal properties due to cryogenic treatment.
