Fly Ash ASTM C618、CNS 3036
Aluminum—Fly Ash, ALFA • JIS designation, ADC12, was selected as the base metal. Chemical composition of ADC12 Al alloy (wt% ) • Fly ash was gotten from Mailiao power plant (Taiwan) and its density is ranged about 2.0~2.5 (g/cm3). Chemical composition of fly ash(wt%)

Experiment Design • Matrix: Aluminum alloys, ADC 12 • Addition: 3wt% Mg into the liquid metal to reduce the surface tension. • Fly ash being pickled by sulfuric acid and pre-heated at 700 ℃ for a specified period, added into the aluminum melt at 850 ℃ with different weight percentage, such as 0wt%, 2wt%, 4wt%, 6wt%, 8wt% and 10wt%, and followed by mechanical stirring with 500 rpm to obtain a well-mixed melt.

Wear Tests • Wear behavior of ALFA composites tested using Pin-On-Disc apparatus under a load of 9.8N and 18.6Nat a constant sliding velocity of 0.5 m/s and sliding distance is 50 m. • Counterpart material used in the wear tests was Cr steel ball with ¼in. in diameter and HRC 58 in hardness. abrasion tester
Wear Tests Load:9.8 N Load:18.6 N
Conclusions • The test results revealed that the density of composites was decreased with increasing fly ash percentage. • Wear resistance of composites was improved as increasing fly ash percentage. • Pretreatment of fly ash is the key to obtain a successful ALFA composite. • In future, the die casting process will be introduced by virtue of runner passive stirring (RPS) to obtain a uniform distribution of fly ash inside metal matrix and a better structure by casting pressure.
