Mechanical Behavior of Aluminum (AlSi10Mg)-RHA Composite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rice Husk Ash (RHA) of three different particle size ranges (50 – 75 μm), (75 – 100μm) and (100 – 150μm) in 3, 6, 9 and 12 % by weight was reinforced with the aluminium alloy using stir cast route. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated composites were analyzed. The results reveal that the tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness of the aluminum alloy composites decrease with increase in particle size of RHA. But increase in the weight fractions of RHA particles decreases the ductility of the composite. Finally, the wear mechanism was investigated with the worn surface using a scanning electron microscope.

The welding of materials by applying Friction Stir Welding technique is a new solid-state joining technique. The main advantage of this method compared to the traditional joining process is that it minimizes problem-related to metal resolidification as the method incorporates no melting phase. In this experimental work, the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) technique on the microstructu...
