Mechanical Analysis Of Palm Kernel Shell Ash Reinforced Aluminium Matrix Composites.
ABSTRACT
The mechanical
properties of pure Aluminium reinforcements with ['aIm kernel shell ash at
varying proportion by weight (40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% wt.) were studied for
possible structural applications in engineering by comparing its mechanical
properties with that of pure Aluminium (Al- 1060). Basically, the rule of
mixture was employed to manufacture the test samples of the composites at a
varying ratio of Al-90% wt. PKSA-10% wt, Al-80% wt. PKSA-20% wt. Al-70% wt.
PKSA-30% wt and Al-60% wt. PKSA-40% wt. The samples were tested For mechanical
properties using the universal testing machine, Rockwell hardness testing
machine. Izod impact testing machine (ASTM 1)256 standard) and a computerized
microscope. Consequently, the experiments demonstrated that the Palm kernel
shell ash reinforced Aluminium composite with a 40% wt. proportion of ash has
the highest Young modulus of elasticity even compared to that of Al-I 060.The
young modulus of the Al-60% wt. PKSA was measured to be 77.27 (iPa, Al-70% wt.
PKSA was 69.10 GPa, Al-80% WI. PKSA was 68.54 GPa. Al-90% vt. PKSA was 64.91
GPa while that of pure Aluminium (Al1060) was measured to be 56.7 (ipa.
