Abstract: Workability refers to the relative ease with which a material can be shaped through plastic deformation. In the near future, it is expected that the aluminium-based-metal-matrix composite materials will replace the heavy alloys as well as the steel applications. An attempt is made to investigate an important property called workability of aluminium-based-metal-matrix composites namely Al–SiC. Cold upsetting tests on aluminium with varying percent content of Silicon carbide metal matrix composite have been conducted and the workability behaviour of the aforesaid MMC has been investigated.
