Corrosion Analysis of Al-6061 MMCs Reinforced With Fly Ash & Rice Husk Ash

Abstract

Tests with various reinforcements were delivered to comprehend their mechanical and corrosion behavior of the material, by utilizing fly ash and rice husk ash as reinforcement and aluminum 6061 alloy as metal matrix material. The composite were created by stir casting method. The primary target of this study is to study the mechanical and corrosion properties of material utilizing different arrangement. So we are shone on creating light weight material with high rigidity and hardness with high corrosive resistance which can be benefit for vehicle enterprises or avionic business. The microstructure determines the material's properties, and the production technique determines the microstructure. Composite materials are created to modify the qualities of a material to our specific requirements. It was found that corrosion resistance in case FA reinforced composites shows better than RHA reinforced composites. Keywords: Aluminum alloy, stir casting, metal matrix composites, SEM, EDS
