dc.description.abstractApplication of reinforced aluminium scrap for the production of prophylactic knee brace (Pkb) particularly with agrowaste materials is rarely available. In this work, hardness and tensile properties of aluminium alloy (Al 6063) straps reinforced with cow bone (Cb) and periwinkle shell (Ps) for the production of Pkb were investigated. The Cb and Ps sourced were cleaned and the Cb was sun-dried for 4 weeks before crushing with Denver laboratory Ball mill (Model: 48-D0500/Q). The Ps was also crushed, sun-dried for 7 days and treated in the oven (Model SDO/225) at 110 oC for 30 minutes to remove moisture. The particle size of 75 µm was used to cast six (6) each of aluminium/cowbone (Al/Cb) and aluminium/periwinkle shell (Al/Ps) composites. The cast aluminium composites of Pkb and original Pkb were investigated for density, hardness, and tensile properties. It was observed that addition of Cb and Ps in the cast Pkb gave a density of 2.68 g/cm3 and 2.60 g/cm3 respectively. The average values of hardness and tensile strength obtained were 41.18 BHN and 135.88 MPa respectively when Ps was added to the cast aluminium Pkb, while addition of Cb gave harness values of 40.45 BHN and tensile strength of 134.63 MPa.en_US

Description:
Investigation on hardness and tensile properties of prophylactic knee brace produced from cow bone and periwinkle shell composites, using Ps and Cb as reinforcements has been reported. The evaluations of the hardness and tensile properties of the cast aluminium brace, has necessitated the following conclusions. Aluminium composite of lightweight can be produced using Ps and Cb because the density of the produced Al/Ps and Al/Cb composites reduced with increase in the addition of Ps and Cb. The tensile strength of 140.30 and 138.20 MPa were obtained for 90 % cast aluminium base metal matrix composite with 10 % weight percent addition of Ps and Cb particles respectively. The tensile strength of cast aluminium base metal matrix composite increases as weight percent addition of Ps and Cb particles increases
