Abstract The effect of different processing parameters consist pouring temperature and holding time on the semisolid microstructure Al6061 feedstock billet produced by direct thermal method has been investigated in present paper. In this experimental works, molten aluminium alloy 6061 was poured into a thin cylindrical copper mould at constant 660 °C held times 20 s, 40 60 s. After it reached d...

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 measu...

Metal matrix composites of Aluminium are finding increasing applications across a wide range industries, including the automotive and aerospace amongst others. When third constituent is added to metal matrix, production hybrid compound commences. This body work presents findings an investigation into surface roughness properties aluminum (Al6061-SiC-Al2O3) composites. Some exper- imental invest...
