DEVELOPMENT OF CAR PISTON MATERIAL FROM ALUMINIUM ALLOY USING COCONUT SHELL ASH AS AN ADDITIVE
ABSTRACT This research presents the development of a piston material from aluminium alloy using coconut shell ash as an additive. Most damage pistons reported in literature are as a result mechanical fatigue due to wear and thermal fatigue. Investigations revealed that aluminium alloys have relatively poor wear resistance, and researchers are concerned with reinforcing aluminium alloy for improved properties. The present work used coconut shell ash for the reinforcement. The ...
