Analysis of aluminium–SiC hybrid composite based on banana stem fibres

Fibre composites are emerging as a prominent player in curbing material need along with solving environmental degradation by using waste materials as substrates in composites. Because of their potential to improve material qualities, aluminium-based composites that include natural fibres and reinforcing agents have attracted a lot of attention. The goal of this research is to create a new aluminium composite by combining silicon carbide (SiC) particles with banana stem fibres. Examining how these additions affect the final composite’s mechanical, thermal and structural characteristics is the main goal. Banana stem fibres and SiC particles were first prepared as part of the fabrication process and then they were cast into an aluminium matrix. When compared with traditional aluminium, the composite’s strength and stiffness were significantly improved by subsequent characterisation using mechanical testing and microscopy techniques. The noted alterations in the material’s microstructure and characteristics offer important new information on the possible uses of these composite in various industrial applications. This study opens the door for environmentally friendly and high-performing materials by highlighting the potential of using SiC particles and banana stem fibres as reinforcing agents in aluminium-based composites.
