Effect of Varied Cashew Nut Ash Reinforcement in Aluminum Matrix Composite

In the present article, cashew nut biocarbon (CTB), an agricultural waste, is used as reinforcement in Al6061 by heating process. The primary XRD study on CTB confirms presence of SiO2, Al2O3, iron-rich ferro-axinite, MgO, and Mn, which improve material’s properties when reinforcement. SiO2 levels increase with annealing time. extracted crushed into a ball mill for 24 hours, particle size measured SEM 70–90 nm. An experimental was performed variable percent weight 5%–20% structural stability applications. X-ray analysis tests composite’s elemental composition intermetallic elements. It that no such evidence exists. CTB’s density, tensile, flexural, impact measure impact. has lowest density variation increases tensile flexion bearing capacity 30% 47%, respectively. lightweight brittle increment impact-resistant. fracture shows transgranular intergranular fractures dimples, large craters, peak areas.
