Abstract

Aluminium is an important engineering material that is widely utilized due to its suitable mechanical properties in manufacturing industries. The effectiveness and efficiency of cast aluminium alloy depend greatly on various casting methods. The additives in the sand mould and quenching media contributed to perfect casting. Present study investigated the influence of various sand mould additives (Sawdust Ash, Groundnut Shell Ash, and Eggshell Ash) on the tensile properties of the cast Aluminium (6061) alloy cooled in different media (Water, Palm Oil, and Engine Oil). The additives were varied at 5%, 15%, 25% and 35%. After cooling, the samples were subjected to a tensile test and the result showed significant differences in the tensile strength properties of the cast samples. Ultimate tensile strength values increased as the percentage of additive in sand mould increased. However, for all the additives studied, water had the highest ultimate tensile strength values (107.52 MPa, 100.5 MPa and 94.55 MPa) followed by palm oil and engine oil at 25% but decrease at 35%. Percentage elongation values of the samples decreased with an increase in additives ratio up to 25% but had the highest values when quenched in engine oil. These observed behaviours are attributed rate of solidification the moulds and cooling rate behaviours of the media.
