Abstract
Aluminium (Al) silicon alloy fly ash composites were developed using powder metallurgy technique. Aluminium silicon alloy powder was homogenously mixed with various weight percentages of fly ash (5–15%) and uniaxially cold pressed at pressures ranging between 200 and 515 MPa, and the green specimens were sintered at temperatures between 575 and 625°C. The various properties of the Al alloy fly ash composites were studied and compared with that of base alloy. The density of Al alloy fly ash composites was lower than that of the base alloy. The sintered density of the Al alloy fly ash composites and Al alloy slightly decreased when compared to green density. The hardness of the Al alloy fly ash composites was higher than that of base alloy and it increased with the increase in weight percentage of fly ash content upto 12 wt-%. Compressive strength of the composites was lower than that of base alloy and it decreased with increasing weight percentage of fly ash. The electrical resistivity and corrosion rate of the composites were higher than that of base alloy and they increased with increasing weight percentage of fly ash. Scanning electron microscope was used to examine the microstructural characteristics of the composites. X-ray diffraction pattern was used to identify various phases present in Al alloy fly ash composites.
