REFNo: SIR428ES
Main Objective
This research aims to investigate the tribomechanical properties of Aluminum (AA6061) reinforced with hybridized agro-marine waste particle composites (AMWPCs) for enhanced automotive applications.
Specific Objectives
1. To assess tensile, compressive strength, and hardness characteristics of AMWPCs for ascertaining the material\'s strength under various loading conditions, and resistance to indentation or scratching respectively.
2. To investigate flexural strength, impact, and fatigue resistance of AMWPCs under dynamic loading conditions.
3. To evaluate the tribological effects and wear resistance of AMWPCs in enduring wear and friction.
4. To examine the material\'s microstructure and elemental composition using FTIR, SEM/EDS.
5. To Analyze AMWPCs phase transitions and thermal stability using DTA, and TGA.
