“…Table 1 shows the summary of some materials, their composite reinforcements, their method of fabrication, the composite developed, and the effects of the agro-base and eggshell on the developed matrix composite. A related study has also proven that reinforcement particulate is very essential in composite manufacturing [98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106].

The most important part of the wind turbine is the blade. From existing studies, it has been concluded that most wind turbine blades have a high rate of failure during operation due to fatigue, because of a lack of proper material selection processes. Materials such as fiberglass, wood, aluminum, and steel have been used but have not been able to qualify as sustainable materials. Therefore, this study focuses on the review of existing materials employed for developing metal matrix composites as ecological materials to produce wind blades. This study discusses the application of aluminium, silicon, and magnesium metal matrix alloys and the implementation of agro-waste materials (coconut rice, coconut shell, rice husk ash, and sugar Bagasse ash) and eggshell as reinforcement particulates for metal matrix composites for developing wind blades. The study also reviews the method of production of matrix composites. From the results obtained via the review, it is clear that the application of eggshells assists as a binding element for proper mixture, and the combination of Al–Si–Mg alloy with coconut rice and shell improves the strength of the material, since wind blades need durable materials and ductility due to their aerodynamic shape to convert enough energy from the wind.

“…Further, critical transition temperature at which wear rates transit from mild to severe also increases with increasing SiC content. Soundararajan et al (2020) showed that the wear rate and friction coefficient of A356-20 Wt.% SiC increased with the function of load (10–40 N) under both the sliding distance of 1000 and 2000 m. Balasubramanya et al (2014) reported that the wear rate of A356 alloy as well as A356 reinforced with SiC P and graphite increased with increasing of sliding speed. But the obtained results were contradictory to those obtained by Ravikiran and Surappa (1997), who studied the effect of sliding speed range of 0.5–10 m/s on wear behavior of A356 Al-30 Wt.% SiC P .…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the effect of particle content, applied load and sliding speed on the tribological properties of A356-SiCP composites manufactured using a newly developed vacuum stir casting technique. Design/methodology/approach A356 alloy reinforced with 10, 15 and 20 vol% SiC particles was prepared by vacuum stir casting. Tribological tests were carried out on block-on-ring tribometer under dry sliding conditions, room temperature. Wear mechanism was investigated by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersion spectrum. Findings SiCP is homogeneously dispersed in the matrix. The increase in SiCP content decrease wear rate, but it leads to an increase in coefficient of friction. The wear rate increase and friction coefficient present different variation trends with increasing load. For A356-20%SiCP composite, when the load is less than 10 MPa, wear rate and friction coefficient under sliding speed of 400 rpm are lower than those of 200 rpm. Wear mechanism transition from abrasion, oxidation, delamination, adhesion to plastic flow as load and sliding speed increasing. Practical implications Results of this study will help guide the use of A356-SiCP in many automotive products such as brake rotors, brake pads, brake drums and pistons. Originality/value There are few paper studies the effect of particle content, applied load and sliding speed on the tribological properties of A356-SiCP composites. Aluminum matrix composites with uniform distribution of reinforcing particles were successfully prepared by using the newly developed vacuum stir casting technique.

<p>A large range of engineering applications can be suited to hybrid metal matrix composites because of their improved mechanical properties, making them superior to conventional materials. Hybrid composites are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries because they feature excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, and low density. This paper demonstrates how to use the stir casting method to create a hybrid composite. The current focus of research is on the fabrication of composites using triple particle silicon carbide (5% weight) and graphite (1.5% weight) as the reinforcements and A357 as the matrix. Wear analysis of the composite materials was conducted following the Taguchi L18 method. To obtain insight into how control factors and heat treatment parameters affect the wear rate of composites, the prescribed number of experiments was carried out. Using ANOVA, major influencing factor for the wear rate accomplished was the sliding distance of all the developed hybrid composites.</p>
