Novel of Binary Metal-Non Metal Material for Chair Flower Product (Novel AI - PP for Chair Flower Product)

Abstract

Material for aluminium product usually made from aliminium scrap. Nowadays, the price of aluminium scrap is increased. The idea is how to minimize the cost of production via minimize the weight of the product without changing the form or the shape of product. Binary aluminium and metal alloys are common and plenty. In this research, the idea is to combine aliminium with non metal polypropylene. In this case polypropylene was selected because of its low density, and low melting temperature compare with aluminium. However, combining aluminium with polypropylene as alloys is unexplored off. This concept is simple and never been attempted before due to the thermal instability and degradation of polypropylene. The product aluminium-polypropylene is then tested to study its mechanical characteristic.
