Fabrication and characterization of metal matrix composite of A-356.2 alloy reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) particles are dealt in the present study. The metal matrix composites (MMCs) were prepared by addition of 2, 4, and 8 wt% RHA particulates through stir casting technique. The microstructure for characterization and mechanical properties of the fabricated composites were analyzed. The result reveals that the hardness of the aluminum alloy decreases with increase or in the increase in the weight fractions of RHA particles increases the ductility of the composites. The resultant composite product may be used as a replacement of raw aluminum alloy due to their stable hardness, strength, low cost, easy availability, light weight, low machine wear during processing etc. Various tests were also being performed for analyzing the properties. The study may provide a new era to the various products, parts and production themes given new opportunities.
