Al7075 Alloy based Metal matrix composites are created in the current work employing a liquid route metallurgical process with varying amounts of zircon sand and tungsten carbide reinforcing particles. According to ASTM standards ASTM E8 and ASTM E10, respectively, tensile testing and hardness tests are conducted. The microstructure of materials that have undergone heat treatment exposes reinforcement that has been bonded to the matrix more effectively, which has increased mechanical properties. The increased mechanical properties of the ceramic reinforced particles could be attributed to the homogenous distribution and bonding of the reinforcement in the matrix.
