The effects of the reinforcement of alumina and rice husk particles on the hybrid recycled aluminium AA7075 chips composite on physical, mechanical and morphological properties
Currently, agricultural waste derivatives have been incorporated with synthetic particles into a new generation of hybrid aluminium matrix composites (AMC) due to their excellent properties such as low density, accessibility, ability to reduce environmental pollution, and low production cost.

Currently, agricultural waste derivatives have been incorporated with synthetic particles into a new generation of hybrid aluminium matrix composites (AMC) due to their excellent properties such as low density, accessibility, ability to reduce environmental pollution, and low production cost.

The AA7075 chip was reinforced with rice husk and alumina powder at range 0.5 -10.5 wt.%. Rice husk and alumina particles were 63 μm and 1.0 μm to 35.0 μm, respectively. Physically, AMC density increased with Al2O3 particle size.
