Abstract
Recent achievements in engineering include the development and production of hybrid aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs), which are widely employed in all automotive applications due to their significant weight reduction and better strength compared to the base metal used in various manufacturing processes. The present work used burnt sugarcane bagasse powder (SCBP) as the filler material in aluminum–alumina composite. This filler material is inexpensive, low in density, accessible and widely available, renewable and ecologically innocuous. The fabrication of various AMMCs has been implemented using SCBP and alumina at different weight percentage ratios by powder metallurgy process. The validity of elemental composition is tested using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and CHNS studies. The specimens are made using an Instron machine at a pressure of 474 MPa and sintered for various lengths of time and temperatures. All specimens were checked for microhardness, uniaxial compression and fractography using the FMV1-MC-AT model, the Instron 8801 MT model, and the JEOL JSM-7001F model, respectively. The outcomes were compared with the base composite. At 600°C and for 2.5 h with 3 wt% burned SCBP, it was observed that relative density, microhardness and ultimate compression strength improved by 1.98, 28.18 and 24.27%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of Materials Science is a bi-monthly journal being published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Materials Research Society of India and the Indian National Science Academy. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and rapid communications in all areas of materials science. The journal also publishes from time to time important Conference Symposia/ Proceedings which are of interest to materials scientists. It has an International Advisory Editorial Board and an Editorial Committee. The Bulletin accords high importance to the quality of articles published and to keep at a minimum the processing time of papers submitted for publication.
