Abstract
The impelling quest for new materials that can be eco-friendly and results in remarkable properties step up worldwide. Aluminium metal matrix composites are inevitable in diversified fields of production industries as it turned up to have superior mechanical properties. In this current investigation, a new metal was synthesized with pure aluminium as the matrix metal and the petroleum industrial waste as the reinforcement material. The exhausted waste from the petroleum industries are available in tonnes across the world. The elements present in the industrial waste was the main cause that it is chosen for producing aluminium composite. The purpose of research was to reuse the petroleum industrial waste in manufacturing the new composite by stir casting. The proportions of industrial waste were varied such as 0%, 5%, 10% & 15%. The mechanical testing of samples was done and results were compared with pure Aluminium. The hardness of the synthesized composites was greater than pure aluminium. The tensile strength was increased for the new Aluminium Industrial waste composites than pure Aluminium. The composite with 10% industrial waste resulted to be the best composition with enhancement of 45% hardness and 14% tensile strength amongst as the samples. The morphological study of cast composites was analysed by Scanning Electron Microscope and it revealed the even distribution of industrial waste in aluminium matrix. The composition of the composites was observed by the Electron Dispersion Analysis. Aluminium metal matrix composite with improved properties can be manufactured by using petroleum industrial waste without causing negative impact to the environment.
