These composite materials are designed and fabricated for human needs with specific applications and also meet the standard requirements. In present study, the agro and industrial wastes derived ceramic reinforcements based Aluminium metal matrix composites, i.e. AA7075/welding slag and AA7075/Rice husk ash are fabricated through liquid metal stir casting route with varying the reinforcement contents from 2 to 12 (wt.%) in the matrix. Mechanical and microstructural characterization of the AA 7075 metal matrix composite were measured and compared to the base material. The results show an improved mechanical strength and high hardness in composites. Impact energy has also significantly improved at higher concentrations of reinforcement particles. Impact energy of the composites increases to 3 J for 9% and 12%, the maximum tensile strength obtained is 173 MPa for 12% Weld Slag MMC. The highest hardness achieved is 98 BHN for 12% Weld Slag MMC. Furthermore, the microstructural results reflect significant grain refinement with stir casting process with good interface characteristics in the matrix and uniform dispersion of agro reinforcement’s particles.}, type={Article}, title={Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Agro and Industrial Waste Reinforcement in Aluminium 7075 Composite with Liquid Metal Stir Casting Route}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/131875/PDF/AMM-2024-2-30-Kasaraju.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2024.149782}, keywords={mechanical properties, industrial wastes, AA7075, agriculture wastes, microstacture analysis}, }
