title = "Microstructure and mechanical properties of carbonized rice husk nanoparticles reinforced al-cu-mg alloy composite",
abstract = "In attempts to overcome high cost and density of current metal matrix composites in several applications that stimulated the interest towards utilization of using rice husk(RH) as reinforcement since they are readily available and low cost. The rice husks were carbonized and ball milled. The composites were produced by varying the carbonized (CRH) and carbonized ball milled (CBMRH) rice husks particles from 2 to 10wt% using stir casting method. The mechanical properties and microstructure were determined using standard methods. The density decreased as the weight percentage of rice husk increases in the matrix. The hardness values improves with 27.56, 31.63, 44.88%, tensile strength with 16.12, 44.08, and 61.41% with a reduction in impact energy with values of 75.09, 62.55, and 37.7% for UCRH, CRH and CBMRH respectively. The properties of the developed composites rise in this direction uncarbonized carbonized carbonized ball milled of RH. Carbonized and ball milled rice husks particles can be used to improve the properties of Al-Cu-Mg alloy composites.",
