“…7b reveals that the CSP composites' compressive strength is generally enhanced compared with the neat, even the least enhancement experienced by 15 wt% CSPs reinforced composite (132.54 MPa) is about 1.1% increment compared with the neat (131.10 MPa); which implies that voids are not closer to the testing surface (top) but lies deep within the composites [18]. The enhancement is attributed to the good bond between the Al 6063 matrix and the CSPs reinforcement, because SiC and CSPs may interact with the movement of dislocation of the matrix material thereby causing dislocation clamp down at matrix-particle contact [16,[45][46][47].…”

“…Also. SiC and CSPs may interact with the movement of dislocation of the matrix material thereby causing dislocation to clamp down at matrix-particle contact, which ultimately increases the Young's modulus of the CSP composites [16,[45][46][47]. These promote a good strong bond between the Al 6063 matrix and the CSPs reinforcement as revealed in (Fig.…”

“…3c, d, respectively. This void served as nucleation and propagation of cracks, thus the reduction in tensile strength and exhibition of brittle failure [15,16]. Figure 6 shows Young's modulus of the neat, CSP-reinforced composites, there was an enhancement in Young's modulus of the 5 and 20 wt% CSP-composite compared with the neat (Fig.…”

“…3b, e, respectively. Also, the matrix belongs to the Al-Mg-Si series (Table 2), the presence of Si which tends to form SiC and CSPs may interact with the movement of dislocation of the matrix material thereby causing dislocation to clamp down at matrix-particle contact, which ultimately increases in tensile strength of the CSPs composites [16,[45][46][47]. However, the maximum tensile stress drops at 10 and 15% CSP weight percentage (49.39 and 47.51Mpa, respectively), the drop in UTS could be due to the presence of voids [15] as shown in Fig.…”

The versatility and beneficial properties of aluminium 6063 make it an excellent material for various applications, but limited in engineering production where strength is a major material selection factor. The utilization of natural resources in material science has gained prominence due to the quest for sustainable and innovative materials. This work explores the development and characterization of an aluminium matrix composite reinforced with crab shell particles (CSPs). The CSPs are produced via the milling process for 72 h and the CSPs are incorporated in varying percentages (0–20 wt%) into the aluminium matrix using a stir casting technique, the mechanical properties (tensile strength, compressive strength, % elongation, and impact energy) of the composites are determined using an Instron universal testing machine (UTM) and a Charpy impact testing machine, respectively. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to examine the microstructure of the composite fracture surfaces and Gywddion 2.65 software is used to view the SEM images of the fracture surfaces in three dimensions (3D). The results revealed that tensile strength, compressive strength, % elongation, and impact energy are enhanced by adding varying percentages of CSPs on the aluminium 6063 composites.
