The aim of this work is to fabricate hybrid composites by using Rice husk ash (RHA), an agro waste as reinforcement to AL-20MG-10CU high strength alloy. Rice husk ash particles of 3, 6, 9 & 12 % by weight were used, to develop metal matrix composites, using a liquid metallurgy route. The microscopic structural studies have been carried out using scanning electron microscope, to analyze the distribution of RHA particles. The usage of any metal matrix composites always depends upon the strong wettability of reinforcement particles in a matrix. For the strong wettability, uniform distribution of particles and good disposability stir casting method is considered, for the development of composites. The physical and mechanical behavior of the material was determined through density, hardness, tensile strength, impact energy calculations. The results revealed that, abundant rice husk can be used in the production of metal matrix composites for engineering applications.

“…For the 10 wt% RHA-SiC-C g containing Zn-27Al composites 2.3%, 5.6%, and 9% reductions in yield strength were observed for the composites containing respectively 20, 30, and 40 wt% of RHA in the reinforcement (B20, B30, and B40). The strengthening mechanism in MMCs in which hybrid reinforcement consisting of hard and relatively soft ceramic particles has been well reported (Alaneme et al, 2013b). In the present case, where RHA has been used with SiC, the presence of increased amount of softer reinforcing particles, reduces the strengthening derivable from load transfer from the matrix to the reinforcements (Alaneme and Adewale, 2013).…”

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Zn-27Al based composites reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA), silicon carbide (SiC), and graphite (C g ) particles have been investigated. The Zn-27Al composites consisting of varied weight ratios of the reinforcing materials were produced using the stir casting process. Hardness test, tensile properties evaluation, fracture toughness determination, and microstructural examination, were used to characterize the composites produced. Results show that the microstructures of the composites are similar, consisting of the dendritic structure of the Zn-27Al alloy matrix with fine dispersion of the reinforcing particles. The hardness of the composites decreased with increase in the weight percent of RHA (and corresponding decrease in SiC weight percent) in the reinforcement. The tensile strength and yield strength decreased slightly with increase in the weight ratio of RHA in the composites with a maximum of 8.5% and 9.6% reductions respectively observed for as much as 40% RHA (corresponding to 40% reduction in SiC) in the hybrid reinforcement. Although some of the composite compositions containing RHA had slightly higher % elongation values compared with those without RHA, it was generally observed that the % elongation was invariant to the composite RHA content. The fracture toughness of the composites increases with increase in the weight percent of RHA with as much as a 20% increase obtained for as much as 40% RHA (corresponding to 40% reduction in SiC) in the hybrid reinforcement. ª 2015 The Authors.

“…The results obtained from the investigations carried out on these alternative reinforcements have been promising as they show significant improvement in the properties of the composites developed over the unreinforced alloy. However, they possess inferior properties when compared to the DRAMCs developed using conventional synthetic reinforcements [19,20].…”
