Abstract
In this work, AA6061 aluminum alloy composites reinforced with industrial wastes, i.e., eggshell particles are fabricated. The stir casting technique was used to fabricate the Al6061 metal matrix composites. The AA6061 matrix contains 3, 5, and 7 wt.% eggshell particles as reinforcement. Mechanical characterization i.e., hardness, toughness, and tensile strength was examined of the eggshell particle-reinforced composites. According to the experimental findings, adding eggshell particles significantly increased the material's hardness, tensile strength, and toughness. Moreover, the sliding wear resistance improved by adding eggshell particles as reinforcement. ANNOVA results predict that sliding velocity and load are the dominant factors for the sliding wear of composites.
