Characterization and Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Hybrid Nano-composites: Novel Approach of Utilizing Silicon Carbide and Waste Particles to Reduce Cost of Material

Abstract

In the past few decades, lightweight materials were become a global concern due to effective and sustainable are evidence most popular utilizing in industrial sectors. This research would concentrate on actions taken by local governments across India that resolve hazardous waste in an environment-friendly and key component to cost reduction and the recovery of waste content. In present work was focused on the utilization of solid waste (PKSA) with TiO2 and SiC nano particles are used as reinforcement materials in reducing material cost for extensive applications in automotive sectors. An attempt was made in varying different five weight fractions (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12%) to develop aluminium based nano-composites using modified gas injection ultrasonic probe double-stir casting process. A drastic improvement in mechanical and physical properties was observed with the incorporation of reinforcement content to aluminium alloy. The mechanical properties such as micro-hardness, tensile, impact and flexural strength were analyzed. The size distribution and physical properties like TGA, porosity, density were tested for both Al alloy and aluminium nano-composites. Microstructure analysis is taken using SEM and EDS, XRD has been analyzed. The results showed in this study are the benchmark against compatible alloys and metallic implants.
