An investigation on the structural and mechanical properties of aluminum dross

Abstract

This research to examine the structure and mechanical properties of aluminum dross. A research project knowledge the aim is to study the microstructure and the mechanical properties of materials. The research is divided into two parts: 1 . preparation aluminum dross material and 2. to determine the structure and mechanical properties. The material must be washed in preparation contamination and dry then crushed and sifted to 200 mesh. Analyzed the microstructure with SEM, which indicated the microstructure. The amount of alumina in aluminum dross grade No.0 has 8 0 percent with a powder, aluminum dross grade No.1 is a hunk with crystalline alumina component 85 percent. Aluminum dross grade No. 2, which is a big hunk has crystalline alumina components 9 0 percent. Analysis results indicates that aluminum dross can be applied to other aspects such as to produce bulletproof vests and so on.
