A well-considered composite of ZA-27 reinforced with weight percentage 0,2,4, and 6 percent of aluminite particulate has been made by compocasting technique. The elastic properties of ZA-27/aluminiute particulate composite were determined by using UTM. The results showed that the modulus of elasticity and UTS of the composite gradually increases with increase in the wt. percent of reinforcement. However, the overall ductility decreased monotonically with an increase in reinforcement. The results of these tests as well as the predictions of several models for composite strengthening available in the literature were compared with experimental results. The data observed from Young's modulus by measurements studies were compared with theoretical results predicted by Eshelby model.
