Copper based composites with SiC and Fly ash as reinforcement is prepared by powder metallurgy process. During processing of composites the compaction pressure is maintained as 400MPa for all combination of materials. The prepared green compacts were sintered on both 700℃ and 900℃ and the results microstructure and hardness obtained through Brinell harness test were compared.
