In Recent days the less weight composite materials are majorly used in engineering applications. The composite materials have enough characteristics of resisting tribological properties, hardness and tensile strength. Due to lesser weight and strength, a composite material plays a major role in emerging engineering applications. Aluminium LM5 has been used as matrix material and different weight percentage of fly ash (10%, 20%, and 25%). The mechanical behaviour and microstructure of Al-Flyash composites are evaluated. Magnesium is added to reduce the surface tension and avoids the neglecting of the particles from the melt.In this article we are suggest fly ash composite material gives better efficiency in automotive applications and reducing the tribological properties.
