Abstract:
Stir casting is one of the simplest ways of producing aluminum matrix composites (AMCs). This work focuses on the fabrication of AMCs reinforced with various weight percentages of respective particulates and a constant weight percentage of Fly Ash by modified stir casting route.Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have greatly improved properties including high specific strength; Specific modulus, damping capacity and good wear resistance compared to unmodified alloys. There is increasing interest in composites with low density and low-cost consolidated validation. Among the various simulators used, fly ash is the cheapest and low-density aggregator available in large quantities as a solid energy byproduct during coal horns in thermal power plants. Therefore, composites with fly ash in the form of consolidation are likely to pose a cost constraint for a wide-spread range in building and small engine production. It is therefore expected that the incorporation of fly ash particles into the active alloy will promote another use of this low-cost waste byproduct and, at the same time, has the potential to conserve energy intensive energy and thus From, Reduces costs online products. Now-a-days particulate reinforced alumina matrix composites are gaining importance due to low cost with benefits such as isotropic properties and the possibility of secondary processing to facilitate fabrication of secondary components. The present investigation has focused on the use of plentifully available industrial energy fly-ash to produce composites by the stir casting method in order to disperse it by accident.
