description	Nowadays, solid waste problem has becomes one of the most popular issues. Due to these problems, recycling becomes more competitive to prevent the shortage of significant aluminum resources while reducing the cost of operating. This research was carried out based on the recycling of aluminum alloy AA7075 reinforced silica by rice husk (waste natural fibers) as metal matrix composite. This study approaches the solid state technique to investigate the effect of rice husk silica as a reinforcement agent in metal matrix composites as it has remarkably lower operation cost and energies compared to conventional recycling by casting. Recycled aluminum chip AA7075 with addition of composition (2.5,5,7.5,10 and 12.5)wt%, of untreated and treated rice husk silica using hydrochloric acid to fasten burning process at different temperature (as-received, 700 and 1000)°C, were prepared by using cold compaction method.
