Abstract
In the present day availability of agricultural waste products is very huge quantity. Most of the industries prefer Metal matrix composite (MMC) due to their density, high strength to weight ratio, hardness, corrosion resistance, fatigue and creep resistance. Hence they are widely used in structural applications along with aerospace and automobile industry, marine, sports, electronic and automation industries. In the present paper a study is focused on the mechanical, tribological and corrosion behavior of the metal matrix composite using different agro waste ash which is easily available. Agro waste ash like Rice Husk, groundnut shell, bamboo leaf, coconut shell can be used as reinforcement and applicable for various applications like automotive, structural components. From this current study, it’s clearly identified that addition of agro waste ash as reinforcement with Aluminium improves the properties of metal matrix composite. Aluminium metal with such reinforcement materials has shown a high specific strength, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength, also it will increase hardness, satisfactory levels of corrosion resistance.
Highlights
Aluminum is widely used as a structural material especially in the aerospace industry because of its light weight property
Hassan et al [35] found that, a fabricated Al-Cu-Mg composites reinforced with egg shell particles of 2 - 12 wt% The results revealed that the tensile strength increased by 8.16% at 12 wt% uncarbonized ES and 14.28% at 12 wt% carbonized ES, the hardness values increased by 10.01% at 12 wt% uncarbonized ES and 25.4% at 12 wt% carbonized ES with decrease in the density by 6.50% at 12 wt% uncarbonized ES and 7.4% at 12 wt% carbonized ES
Asafa et al [37] investigated that, Fabricated Aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced with snailshell particles of weight fraction ranging from 16 to 48 wt% and size of 200, 400 and 600 μm by using stir casting technique The results showed that, at 48 wt% and 600 μm particle size the tensile strength was 236 MPa and hardness was 48.3 HRF, respectively
