Implication

This study demonstrates improved tensile strength and microhardness in AA6061 composites reinforced with snail shell powder, indicating potential for sustainable engineering applications.

Key Points

Tensile strength peaked at 139.63 MPa after friction stir welding of the optimal 12 wt.% snail shell powder composite, showing significant enhancement.
Mechanical testing revealed microhardness of 79.6 HV for 12 wt.% SSP, though it slightly decreased to 76.6 HV post-FSW, remaining above the base alloy.
The addition of snail shell powder altered elemental composition, increasing Ca and Fe while decreasing Mg, impacting material properties.
Scanning Electron Microscopy showed uniform particle dispersion at 12 wt.% SSP, while clustering at 16 wt.% led to a drop in mechanical performance.
