Aluminium 6061 and Hybridized Agro-Marine Waste Particulate Composite: Review.
The use of agro-marine waste particulates in composites has gained attention as a result ofthe desire for sustainable and cost-effective materials. In this review, the biomechanical andcrystallography properties of AA 6061 alloy reinforcement of various agro-marine wasteparticulates were investigated, including sugarcane bagasse, fly ash, coconut shell, eggshell,and seashell. The addition of agro-marine waste particulates significantly improved themechanical characteristics of the composites, with coconut and egg shells hybridizationshowing the highest advancement in strength and resistance. TEM analysis confirmed goodinterfacial bonding. Agro-marine waste particulates are a promising candidate for sustainableand low-cost reinforcement materials in composites, owing to their abundance andenvironmental benefits. This review discusses recent research on how to use agro-marineparticulates as reinforcement resources in Aluminium 6061 composites, including theirmechanical, physical, and microstructural properties. The incorporation of agro-marinewaste particulates has shown a substantial enhancement of the structural characteristics ofthe admixture, particularly tensile strength, stiffness, and resistivity of wear. Hybridizationof different agro-marine waste particulates has further enhanced the quality of thecomposites, with microstructural analysis confirming good interfacial bonding. However,challenges such as optimizing processing methods, enhancing interfacial bonding, andassessing long-term durability must be addressed to realize the full potential of agro-marinewaste particulates as reinforcement materials. This review highlights the potential of agromarinewaste particulates as sustainable and low-cost reinforcement materials in Aluminium6061 composites, which can contribute to environmental sustainability and improve theperformance of composites in various applications. Future research should focus onaddressing the challenges to optimize the properties of agro-marine waste particulatereinforcedcomposites.
