Overview of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with Bore Sand Particles

Abstract

In this investigation, Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite was prepared by reinforcing discarded waste particles like wet grinder stone dust particles and waste tonner, reinforced with bore sand. Bore sand a waste material obtained while digging bore well. We are using this bore sand for the reinforcing with aluminium. Since the bore sand is waste during the bore well making process, we take this bore sand for reusing it. We take bore sand and tested the wear behaviour, hardness and did the microstructure analysis. The project mainly aims at the reusing of bore sand which a waste material is obtained while digging bore wells.
