  Red Mud Particles' Impact on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of AA6005 Composites for Brake Rotor Applications

  By Kotthapalli Karthik, Priyaranjan Samal, Ramatenki Chinna

  Abstract: There is increasing focus on utilizing industrial waste as reinforcement in metal matrix composites, driven by the demand for eco-friendly and cost-effective materials in automotive applications. With an emphasis on their possible use in braking rotors, this study examines how red mud particles affect the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of AA6005 aluminum alloy composites. Red mud, a byproduct of the Bayer process, is a good low-cost ceramic reinforcement because it …
