In this present investigation efforts are made to study the effect of reinforcements and heat treated composites on hardness of as cast and heat treated AA7075 alloy reinforced with graphite and bagasse-ash composites. The vortex method of stir casting was employed, in which the reinforcements were introduced into the vortex created by the molten metal by means of mechanical stirrer. Samples have been prepared as per the ASTM E8 standards. Results give out that there will be greater effect of reinforcing different bagasse-ash and heat treatment condition in aluminium alloy matrix composites. An improved mechanical properties occurs on reinforced compared to Unreinforced MMCs alloys.
