Abstract

Novel inventions and scientific needs in automobile and aircraft sectors ask for modified nonferrous alloy-based composites. The foremost reason of this present experimental work is to evaluate the mechanical characterization of composite materials that were synthesized by a stir casting technique. AA7050 is chosen as matrix material and coconut shell ash (CSA) particles as reinforcement. The base alloy and proposed composite samples were subjected to hardness and tensile test. Metallurgical characterization of parent material and synthesized material were inspected via scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mechanical properties like micro-hardness (HV) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the developed composite materials were improved after the addition of reinforcement content.
