Egg shells are one of the wastes produced in a large amount each day. In this paper, we have recycled these egg shells by reinforcing with the aluminum alloy 6351. The naturally occurring bio-waste material eggshell is added to aluminum alloy 6351 by stir casting and its effects on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the composite were studied, Rockwell Hardness, Tensile Strength, Impact Energy and density were estimated. The results showed an increase in hardness. The density of the composite also reduced significantly with an increase in the composition of the egg shell in the aluminum alloy 6351. It was also noted that the tensile strength of the composite has decreased with the addition of the egg shell in the aluminum alloy. The SEM images showed a good bonding between the eggshell and the aluminum alloy 6351. The egg shell can be used as reinforcement in aluminum alloy to increase its hardness and its very less expensive reinforcement material.
