Abstract

Despite the favorable mechanical properties of Anadara Granosa Shell (AGS), particularly hardness, its influence on the wear resistance of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) remains insufficiently explored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the potential of AGS waste as an eco-friendly reinforcement for Al6061 alloy. Composites were fabricated with 0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt% AGS addition. Wear behavior of each specimen was evaluated using sandblast with SiO2 as the erodent particles. The investigation also involved the microstructure and wear mechanism observation using optical microscope and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In addition, the hardness of each material measurement using Vickers hardness test was included to obtain a comprehensive insight. The results shows that the AGS reinforcement was evenly distributed within the matrix, though a minor presence of voids was observed. The hardness of specimens exhibited a consistent increase proportional to the AGS content. Interestingly, the erosion rate showed no significant difference between the 0 wt% and 5 wt% AGS additions, but drastically increased with 10 wt% and 15 wt% reinforcement. This suggests that hardness is not the primary factor governing the erosion behavior in these composites. Analysis of the worn surfaces revealed a prevalent wear mechanism: reinforcement particle peel-out, which became more severe at 10 wt% and 15 wt% AGS concentrations. Conversely, the unreinforced (0 wt%) Al 6061 alloy displayed ripple formation, indicating a plastic deformation mechanism typical of a ductile material. Therefore, this study highlights the critical importance of considering the wear mechanism, specifically the susceptibility to particle pull-out, when evaluating the erosive wear behavior of Al6061 MMCs reinforced with Anadara Granosa Shell waste.

Abstract

The topic of airfoil modification and its impact on aerodynamic performance is a highly debated issue in aerospace engineering circles. This study examines the effect of the NACA 4415 bio-inspired nose airfoil on its aerodynamic performance by adding spinner dolphin and roughtoothed dolphin geometries to the leading edge using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method at a Reynolds number of Re = 106. Simulations were conducted to analyze changes in the lift coefficient (Cl), drag coefficient (Cd), and moment coefficient (Cm), which serve as indicators of aerodynamic performance and stability. The results show that the baseline NACA 4415 airfoil produces the highest lift and the lowest drag overall, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum lift and minimum drag. Spinner dolphins has a smaller percentage increase in Cd, at 41.933%, compared to the baseline. In contrast, roughtoothed dolphins with an average percentage of 56.004% compared to the baseline exhibit a higher percentage increase in Cd. Conversely, in the Cl data, the percentage decreased in   dolphins has a larger average, namely -14.607%, compared to the baseline, whereas the spinner dolphin type only has an average of -8.713%. In the Cm data, the Roughtoothed Dolphin and Spinner Dolphin have higher and more stable Cm than NACA 4415. This study confirms that bio-inspired modifications can significantly impact aerodynamic performance, depending on operating conditions.
