Abstract

The increasing demand for aluminium-based products, coupled with globalization in the aluminium industry, has significantly heightened the consumption of aluminium scraps for the reproduction of aluminium alloys. This research investigated the effect of adding pure aluminium on the mechanical properties and structure of thick aluminium scraps, commonly used for the production of motorcycle brake pads. The first step of this work involved casting the materials using a crucible furnace. Samples were produced with and without pure aluminium, and their properties and structures were compared. The results of the mechanical tests showed the best performance in samples containing pure Aluminium scrap. The microstructure of the sample with pure Aluminium revealed refined grains, while that without pure Aluminium exhibited a coarse grain structure. This research provides insights into producing long-lasting motorcycle brake pads in the industry, aligning with Aluminium production objectives
