the desire for sustainable and cost-effective materials. In this review, the biomechanical and
crystallography properties of AA 6061 alloy reinforcement of various agro-marine waste
particulates were investigated, including sugarcane bagasse, fly ash, coconut shell, eggshell,
and seashell. The addition of agro-marine waste particulates significantly improved the
mechanical characteristics of the composites, with coconut and egg shells hybridization
showing the highest advancement in strength and resistance. TEM analysis confirmed good
interfacial bonding. Agro-marine waste particulates are a promising candidate for sustainable
and low-cost reinforcement materials in composites, owing to their abundance and
environmental benefits. This review discusses recent research on how to use agro-marine
particulates as reinforcement resources in Aluminium 6061 composites, including their
mechanical, physical, and microstructural properties. The incorporation of agro-marine
waste particulates has shown a substantial enhancement of the structural characteristics of
the admixture, particularly tensile strength, stiffness, and resistivity of wear. Hybridization
of different agro-marine waste particulates has further enhanced the quality of the
composites, with microstructural analysis confirming good interfacial bonding. However,
challenges such as optimizing processing methods, enhancing interfacial bonding, and
assessing long-term durability must be addressed to realize the full potential of agro-marine
waste particulates as reinforcement materials. This review highlights the potential of agromarine
6061 composites, which can contribute to environmental sustainability and improve the
performance of composites in various applications. Future research should focus on
addressing the challenges to optimize the properties of agro-marine waste particulatereinforced composites.
