Abstract

This research presents the ' Mechanical Behaviour & Water Absorption Of Metal Matrix Composite (Tin+Rice Husk) Fabricated Via Permanent Mould Casting : ( Experiment with 10% wt And 25% wt Rice Husk)'. The purpose of this research is to reuse waste material in order to reduce the cost in fabricating production tooling. A series of the tensile, hardness, flexural and water absorption tests were conducted by using the appropriate apparatus based on the ASTM standard testing procedure. The testing was conducted on the 10%, 25% of the Rice Husk (RH) as the reinforcement material and based material is Tin (Sn). Then, the mechanical properties of tensile strength, tensile strain to failure, and Young's Modulus were calculated from the results. The result is compared and verified between the composition of the fibres that showing distinctly promising potential. The specimens were fabricated using permanent mould casting process. In this study it will explain detail about how to mix the natural fibre with the non ferrous metal. The specimens are being designed based on the specimens standard based on ASTM standard. The specimen was divided into two categories one subjected to the mechanical testing and one for the water absorption testing. A few parameter in performing the permanent mould casting has been classified and discuss. The application doing this study is to apply the composite material for the production tooling. Next, to substitute the function of rubber in production tooling using the natural fibre it is Rice Husk.
