AL6061/Al2O3-Ash Reinforced Composites: An Experimental and Statistical Study Using Ultrasonic Stir Casting

By M Naga Phani Sastry, K. Devaki Devi, Borigorla Venu, PVR Girish Kumar

Abstract: This study presents an experimental investigation on the influence of fly ash particle size on the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy (Al6061) composites fabricated through Ultrasonic Assisted Stir Casting. Fly ash, a low-cost and low-density by-product of thermal power plants, has emerged as an effective reinforcement material due to its excellent fluidity, high filling capability, and ease of processing. It has been increasingly utilized in metal, polymer, and rubber composites …
