To Investigate Mechanical Properties of Al-based Composite Reinforced with Waste Product

Abstract

The most common use for aluminium metal matrix composite, or AMMC, is variety of industrial submissions, including those in aerospace, automotive, marine, and sports industries, amongst many others. The most important reinforcing components for manufacturing AMMC are SiC, aluminium oxides, MnO, graphene, and carbon nano tubes, since these components are often used in practice. This article’s goal is to build AMMCs that are reinforced with Silicon carbide (SiC) and Alumina (Al2O3). In order to make AMMC, a procedure known as stir casting is used. Since the last several years, increased attention has been placed on the preparation of AMMCs employing agro waste as reinforcing materials. Examples of such waste are rice husk and/or SiC. As soon as the Al-matrix material has been melted using this method and churned violently, reinforcing material is added to one side of this vortex, creating a spherical structure. The AMMCs may be prepared via a procedure called stir casting, which involves a violent and whirling motion. In the beginning, the furnace is used to melt the aluminium alloy (AA3105) when the metal is in a semisolid state. The reinforcing materials, also known as SiC and Alumina (Al2O3), are warmed to temperatures of 260 and 220 degrees Celsius, respectively. According to the findings of AMMC, tensile strength and hardness of material both rose by 22.41 percent and 45.5 percent, respectively, when they were reinforced with 4.75 weight percent of each kind of reinforcement (SiC, Al2O3, and 1 percent Cr). When 1 percent Cr, 4.75 weight percent SiC, and 4.75 weight percent Al2O3 of composite material are used.
