Abstract
The coal industry produces a significant amount of Fly-ash, which poses a crucial environmental concern. Reusing is the best solution to tackle such industrial by-products. In this study, composites of ADC12 alloy with Sic and Fly-ash as the filler material are made by the squeeze casting method. Mechanical properties of the composites varied with composition, the pressure applied to squeeze, alloy melting temperature, and temperature maintained on the die are studied. This work proposes a route to reduce the industrial by-product without much compromise in the mechanical property of the composite.
