The superior physical and mechanical properties of metals matrix composites in comparison to the matrix metals over a wide range of operating conditions makes them an attractive option in replacing metals for various engineering applications. In the present investigation, Aluminium alloy 6063 was reinforced with varying weight percentage of 212 µm palm kernel shell (PKS) particles (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15%). The composite was prepared in a mild steel permanent mould, using stir-casting technique. Some chemical, physical and microstructural properties (XRF, XRD, density, % porosity and SEM-EDX) of the composites produced were characterized, evaluated and compared with that of the matrix alloy. The structural assessment evaluation of the reinforcement revealed the presence of elements and oxides that could improve the structure, physical and the mechanical properties of the composites …
