Abstract

The project entitled ‘Mechanical Behavior & Water Absorption of Metal Matrix Composite (Tin+Rice Husk) Fabricated via Permanent Mould Casting: (Experiment with 5% wt and 15% wt Rice Husk)’ attempts to investigate the mechanical properties of the material to produce production tooling that Edge Clamp. The objective of this study aims to find the most suitable composition to produce Edge Clamp between tin and rice husk to replace existing materials to make production tooling. In addition, the merger of natural fiber (rice husk) and metals (tin) can produce substances that are green technology beside able to save costs and strengthen the structure of the metal. This project started by fabricating the specimens as an experiment to find the best composition for producing Edge Clamp and; the tests that were done are the tensile test, hardness test, water absorption test and bending test. Specimen design works and mold design made using SolidWork 2010 by referring an ASTM standard to ensure that all processes will be running smoothly follow the specification. After designing, mold is translated from computer aided drawing to the actual shape using a laser cutting machine in the manufacturing process. In the production of specimens, there are several processes involved, such as casting and mixing the material. Discussion for all tests based on their strength, elasticity features and force. Finally, the suitable material composition successfully decided for producing Edge Clamp.
