The aluminium metal matrix composite reinforced with ceramic material of Silicon carbide (SiC) has good mechanical properties. However, aluminium based ceramic composites require improvements in their lubrication and tribological properties. In this study an attempt is made in the development of a new material through powder metallurgy technique by the addition of Graphite, which acts as a solid lubricant. This work investigated the influence of graphite on the wear behaviour of Al 7075/SiC /X wt.% graphite(X=0, 5 and 10) hybrid composite. The investigation reveals the effectiveness of incorporation of graphite in the composite for gaining wear reduction. The Al 7075 (aluminium alloy 7075) reinforced with SiC –graphite were investigated. The composites were fabricated using powder metallurgy route. The microstructures, material combination, wear and friction properties were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, XRD, and pin-on-disc wear tester. The newly developed aluminium composite has significant improvements in tribological properties with a combination of 5% Silicon carbide (SiC) and 5% Graphite. The test reveals that sliding distance of 1000 m and sliding speed of 1.5 m/s with applied load of 5 N result in minimum wear loss of 0.01062g and coefficient of friction as 0.1278.

In the present study, the influences of different SiC addition, MWCNTs and various SiC particle sizes on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of ZC71 alloys were studied. The results revealed that the proper amount/size of SiC particles with the addition of MWCNTs had a considerable effect on the microstructural alteration, and mechanical and tribological properties of the ZC71 alloy. The Vickers hardness values of the ZC71 alloy improved with the addition of MWCNT and SiC. The UTS (216 MPa) and El.% (6.95 %) were achieved in the ZC71-5%SiC(15µm)-0.5%MWCNT. The cast ZC71 alloy showed brittle fracture with some quasi-cleavage characterizations. However, by adding 5% SiC(15 µm) and 0.5% MWCNT, the fracture mode changed to ductile fracture. The wear results showed that the ZC71-5%SiC-0.5%MWCNT hybrid composite had the highest wear resistance with the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate. Examination on the worn surface of the ZC71-5%SiC-0.5%MWCNT hybrid composite showed mild abrasion as the governing wear mechanism.%2

In the current study, the effect of different B4C additions (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 wt%) on the microstructural, solidification behavior, mechanical, and tribological properties of Al-20%Mg2Si composite were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Vickers hardness, tensile, and dry sliding wear tests. The cooling curve thermal analysis (CCTA) approach was utilized to monitor the influence of B4C particles on the solidification behavior of Al-20%Mg2Si composite. The results revealed that the addition of B4C particles up to 10 wt% reduced the nucleation temperature (TN) and growth temperature (TG) of the primary Mg2Si phase. Moreover, the proper amount of B4C added to Al-20%Mg2Si composite has a significant effect on the microstructural alteration, mechanical, and tribological properties of the composite. The mean size of primary Mg2Si in Al-Mg2Si composite was 47 μm, in which with the addition of 5 wt% B4C, the particle size decreased to 33 μm. The highest UTS (217 MPa) and El% (7%) was achieved in Al-20%Mg2Si-5%B4C hybrid composite. The cast Al-20%Mg2Si composite revealed the brittle mode of fracture with some cleavage characterization, in which with the addition of 5%B4C, the fracture mode altered to a more ductile fracture. The wear results revealed that the Al-20%Mg2Si-5%B4C hybrid composite has the highest wear resistance with the lowest wear rate (0.46 mm3/Km) and friction coefficient (µ = 0.52) under 20 N applied load compared to other fabricated composites with mild abrasion as the governed wear mechanism.

The metal matrix composite strengthened with ceramic material of carbide (SiC) has smart mechanical characteristics. Metal-based composites, however, demand progress in their friction and tribological characteristics. In this work-study an effort is made to design a completely new material through the method of metallurgy by adding graphite, which acts as a solid lubricant. This study explored the effect of graphite on the tribological behaviour of hybrid composite Al 7075/5 wt. % SiC / X wt. % graphite (X=10, 5 and 0). The research confirms the performance of wear properties by incorporating graphite into the composite. The sic-graphite reinforced Al 7075 (aluminium alloy 7075) was studied. Metallurgy route was used to prepare the composites. Microstructures, the mixture of materials, wear and wear resistance properties were analyzed by optical micro cope and scanning electron microscope, XRD, and pin-on-disc apparatus. The freshly developed metal composite has significant improvement in tribological properties with a mixture 5% silicon carbide (SiC) and 5% graphite. The experimental investigations confirm that a sliding distance of one thousand meters and a sliding velocity of 1.5 m / s with an applied load of 5 N leads to minimum wear loss of 0.01062g and coefficient of friction as 0.1278
