Cupola furnace slag (CFS) poses significant challenges for casting industrialists, who must navigate the complexities of its disposal to maintain operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. This study aims to investigate and implement the reuse of CFS in the construction industry which in turn creates a new method for solid waste management. This study clarifies the mechanical and durability properties of concrete that contains CFS‐coarse‐aggregates (CCA) and cupola‐fine‐aggregates (CFA), which are natural fine and coarse aggregate substitutes. To accomplish this, compressive strength, split tensile strength, water penetration, impact resistance, surface abrasion loss, and rapid chloride penetration tests were conducted. In M30 grade concrete, the experimental procedures involved varying degrees of weight replacement (0% to 40%) of natural fine‐aggregate (FA) and natural coarse‐aggregates (CA) with CFA and CCA, respectively. The experimental findings revealed that compressive strength increased with up to 20% replacement of FA, but decreased afterward. Conversely, compressive strength decreased with the replacement of CA, though up to 30%, replacement still met M30 grade concrete requirements. A leachability test was conducted to detect toxic and heavy materials in CFS. SEM, EDX and XRD techniques were also employed. Replacing FA and CA with CFA and CCA, respectively, proved economically beneficial compared to standard concrete. - Dry turning behavior of solution heat treated cupola slag reinforced aluminum matrix composites

This experimental work presents machinability characteristics of waste derived cupola slag reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites in solution treated condition during dry turning operations. Composites used in this work were fabricated by an economical stir-casting method using 100 μm-sized cupola slag particles as reinforcement at 0, 3, 5, and 7 wt% in an Al-4.5-Cu aluminum alloy (LM11) matrix. Post fabrication the samples have been heat treated. The physical, mechanical and microstructural characterizations are conducted to evaluate the changes in base alloy by cupola slag inclusion and subsequent heat treatment. The dry turning experiments has been performed in a conventional lathe with varying feed rate and spindle speed with constant depth of cut. Key machinability indices such as tool wear, chip thickness, power consumption, surface quality, force requirement and material removal rate (MRR) by loss of weight method have been investigated. A detailed tool wear study, along with analysis of chips have been presented for introspection of underlying cutting mechanisms. The results indicates that 7 wt% slag reinforced composites show improved physical, mechanical and machinability behaviors due to uniform slag dispersion and refinement of grains. This work establishes one of the possibilities of reusing cupola slag as an eco-friendly and cost-effective reinforcement in high-performance MMCs. - Grey Taguchi-Based Parametric Optimization Studies on Machinability of Cupola Slag-Reinforced LM11 Matrix Composites

Rapid evolution in engineering and manufacturing demands light weight material with enhanced mechanical properties. Aluminium metal matrix composites with ceramic reinforcement particulates serve this demand due to their reduced density, improved strength and hardness along with higher resistance to wear and corrosion. However, the material cost and reduced machinability hinders the full potential of utilization. To overcome these challenges, in this work cupola slag, an industrial waste generated as by product of cast iron production, has been incorporated as reinforcement of aluminium composites using low cost stir casting method. The enhancement of material properties and machinability by cupola slag inclusion on base alloy has been investigated in detail. Moreover, introspection about the underlying mechanisms responsible for the improvement in material properties has been studied using detailed microstructure and fractographic analysis. The results show improvement of in material properties and machinability up to 7 wt.–% cupola slag inclusion, beyond which the reduced wettablity prohibits sound castings. The ultimate tensile strength and specific strength observed to be improved by 18.20 % and 33.23 % respectively for 7 wt.–% slag reinforced composites when compared with base alloy. This work can be a successful addition to the knowledge pool of ongoing research on low‐cost novel material with enhanced properties. - Study of durability and mechanical properties for utilization of cupola slag as a coarse aggregate in M20 grade green concrete
