Description
Summary:Aluminium waste is tremendously increasing all over the world. The recycling of this aluminium scrap is more beneficial economically and environmentally as compared to primary aluminium production. The component consisting of aluminium can be recycled repeatedly. Aluminium waste hybrid composites are recent generation of metal matrix composite (MMC) that have the potential of fulfilling recent demand for advance application. The compatibility between the various metal matrix & reinforcement materials make it possible to obtain component mechanical and thermal properties of these MMCs. In this study waste sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) was used as reinforcement to cast MMC by stir casting method. Scrap aluminium is used as a matrix material & % reinforcement varying from 0 to 2.5 weight %. Scrap aluminium collected from electric cable as a matrix and bagasse ash as reinforcement is used to manufacture composite successfully by using stir casting method. The microstructure of composite shows the uniform distribution of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) particles in scrap aluminium (Al) alloy. It is observed that hardness properties are increased along with reinforcement content or reinforcement %.
