The Study on Mechanical and Electrical Properties of AA6061/Snail Shell Composites

Metal matrix composites are in high demand for various applications the industrial sector and engineering firms. Therefore, new materials with enhanced mechanical ecologically favourable characteristics must be designed produced. This study focuses on possibility of developing an aluminium composite using agro-waste as reinforcement preference to other chemicals materials. The morphological analysis carried out AA6061 + 15% snail shell at 100 μm showed formation homogenous particle size stepped crystals. micrographs developed were obtained XRD (X-ray diffraction analysis), which indicated presence calcium hydroxyapatite from composite. Electrical performed increase conductivity 32.03 Ωm−1 34.59 reinforcements increased, thus improving capability MMC transfer electricity due occurrence particulate within
