4.1 Influence of animal tooth powder on mechanical and microstructural characteristics of Al6061 MMCs manufactured through ultrasonic-assisted stir casting
-
Abstract
This chapter examines the mechanical and microstructural behavior of novel Al6061 composites enhanced with biowaste, that is, animal tooth waste. Al6061 alloy MMCs with different weight percentages of animal tooth powder (ATP) were manufactured through ultrasonic-assisted stir casting (UASC) method. The ATP contains important components that make it a suitable reinforcement material for composites and its use also helps reduce the problem of disposal, to some extent. Microstructural studies of Al6061 composites using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) exposed the even dispersion of reinforcements. X-ray diffraction patterns and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) of the manufactured composites confirmed the presence of ATP in the Al matrix. The outcomes exposed that the ultimate tensile strength, yield tensile strength, and microhardness were increased up to a maximum of 37%, 38%, and 63%, respectively, and reduced while rising ATP. Enhancing ATP in the composites reduces the impact strength and percent elongation to a maximum of 64% and 62%. SEM micrographs exposed the existence and even distribution of ATP, and EDS analysis confirmed the occurrence of ATP in the composites.
