Abstract
This paper states the art of manufacturing the aluminum matrix composites by powder metallurgy technique. Among all the metal matrix composites aluminum could be the most widely used metal as matrix due to its low density coupled with high stiffness. Alumina reinforcement is commercially used for various automotive applications. However, the industrial waste fly ash and bagasse ash are most promising alternative reinforcement material for metal matrix composites. The present work investigate the mechanical properties of Al-fly ash, Al-bagasse ash, and Al-alumina composites. These contents are reinforced with pure-Al from 5 to 15% by weight. Compacting the alloying mixture before sintering in muffle furnace at 6300 °C for the time interval of 2 h. The increase in ultimate tensile and impact strength is found due to addition of industrial waste and alumina. This study will useful in light weight application such as aerospace, automobile and sporting industries.
