ABSTRACT
The advantage of composite materials over non-alloy/virgin metals
has been on the front burner in the engineering materials sphere. To
this ends, various reinforcement materials are constantly been mixed
with metal matrix to form new composite materials. Ca2SiO3 is a
ceramic material which finds application in medicine, heat and noise
insulation, acid remediation, cement production etc. since it possesses
qualities needed for the formation of composites, and is largely not
researched on, this study aimed to characterize the mechanical
properties of the AA 6061 - Ca2SiO3 composite for different
composition of percentage mix, and to establish a model that would
predict the UTS for known values of percentage mix and load. Result
of the study shows that 6% Ca2SiO3 – 94% AA 6061 and 24%
Ca2SiO3 – 76% AA 6061 possessed the highest modulus of elasticity
and are stiffer while 2% Ca2SiO3 – 98% AA 6061 mix had the lowest
modulus of elasticity, and is more ductile than other composition
mix. Also, it was observed that addition of Ca2SiO3 to AA 6061 T4
greatly improves its mechanical properties and96.43% of the
variations in stress experienced by various percentage composition of
the composite mix can be explained by the developed model.
