Strength Behaviour Assessment of Aluminium 2024 with Silicon Carbide and Fly Ash Reinforcements using the RSM Approach
Abstract
The market for advanced materials is growing every day with the development of materials with much improved characteristics. The current research was undertaken for the manufacture of aluminium 2024 metal matrix composite reinforced with silicon carbide and fly ash to obtain enhanced properties. By experimental work, the mechanical behaviour of the composite formed through such as density and strength have been analyzed by response surface methodology technique. The density is found to be reduced to 2.09 g/cm3
when the Al 2024 is reinforced with SiC 10% + FA 10% and the strength is found to be enhanced to 290 N/mm2 when the Al 2024 sample is reinforced with SiC 10% + FA 10 %. Overall, the results inferred that the Al2024/SiC/ FA composites reinforced with SiC 10% + FA 10% exhibited superior mechanical properties with lower densities and greater strength. This
study can be further increased for the evaluation of other properties of the engineering material.
