WITHDRAWN: “A critical review on industrial/agricultural waste as reinforcement materials for metal matrix composites”

Development of agricultural /industrial waste based metal matrix composites(MMCs) is challenging role for all the scientists and engineers. Now-a-days numerous research work is happening to develop MMCs so that it can be adopted by different industries. Industrial/agricultural wastes are plentily available all over the world and those contains good proportion of Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , SiC etc. which are essential for producing MMCs. So, the researchers focus on producing low cost, light weight and wear resistant MMCs by using agriculture and industrial waste as a reinforcement material. The demand for such type of composites is increased as a result of their superior characteristics. A review is written in the present paper by highlighting utilization of different industrial/agro wastes that are coming out from different agricultural and farming sectors. The outcome of the literature states that by the addition of various reinforcements such as fly ash(FA), coconut shell ash(CSA), rice husk ash(RHA) etc. improves the different mechanical, physical and thermal properties such as impact strength, compressive strength, hardness and wear resistance of the material. For industries like automobile, structural and in sports sectors for multiple engineering applications the demand of such reinforcements increases suddenly.
