Fabrication and Performance Evaluation Of Mechanical Pproperties of Aluminium Alloy Reinforced With Bio-ashes

Abstract

Today’s world demands cost effective metals to meet the daily needs in plenty of different areas, such as, electric equipment’s, raw materials for production, transportation, construction, factory machineries, etc. Besides production, the environmental matter comes as a major concern in terms of waste management. If the metal contains more biodegradable elements, it is simpler to be decomposed, that helps the environments survival in a great way. This study involves synthesis of hybrid composites by addition of the desired amount of Rice Husk Ash (RHA), Cow Dung Ash (CDA), and Jute Stick Ash (JSA) particles into the molten Al alloy through stir casting technique fallowed by hot forging of the cast composites. The influence of mixing Bio-ash particles (such as, RHA, CDA, JSA) has a direct impact on the mechanical properties that influence many factors, like impact, bending hardness, direct shear strength, tensile strength etc. This report indicates hardness, direct shear strength and tensile strength tests where, a fixed amount of bio-ashes is mixed with alloy and compared to each hybrid composites
