The AZ91D composites reinforced by 10 wt.% AlN particles were welded via plasma welding and the dry sliding wear properties of the composites were investigated. The influence of welding current, welding speed and plasma flow rate were studied in detail. By using of OM, XRD, EDS and SEM, the crystalline phase, the microstructure and the wear properties were investigated. The experiment result shows that the AlN reinforcing particles is in the shape of strip and have a fine size under the condition of the welding speed 400 mm/min, the welding current 180 A and the plasma flow 2.0 L/min, which reaches 20–30 μm. The matrix grain in the composite were obviously refined, which reaches 60–70 μm. Wear test results showed that the wear rate of welding seam compared base metal decreased by 25%.

A wear resistant TiC-Cr7C3/Fe surface composite was produced by cast technique and in-situ synthesis technique. The microstructure and dry-sliding wear behavior of the surface composite was investigated using scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and MM-200 wear test machine. The results show that the surface composite consists of TiC and Cr7C3as the reinforcing phase, α-Fe and γ-Fe as the matrix. The surface composite has excellent wear-resistance under dry-sliding wear test condition with heavy loads.

Dry sliding wear properties of aluminum nitride (AlN) reinforced aluminum silicon (Al-Si) alloy were investigated by using a pin-on-disc configuration tester. In this work, different weight percentages (5 and 10 wt%) of AlN was added into the Al-Si alloys. The samples were prepared by a stir casting process via a bottom pour technique which was then aged with a T6 condition prior to the wear test. Detailed analyses on the morphologies were conducted using scanning electron microscope (SEM) with the aid of an energy dispersive x-ray analyser (EDX). Prior to the heat treatment, the distribution of hard aluminum nitride particles that surrounded the Si phase had improved the hardness of the composites by 15%. The hardness value was found to be significantly increased about 80% for aged samples compared to un-aged samples. This was mainly contributed from precipitations of Si grain and intermetallic compounds; Mg2Si and FeSiAl5 formation in the alloys. Thus, a significant increased in wear resistance up to 56% was also observed especially at the highest applied load of 70N. Surface investigation by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that a combination of abrasion and adhesion wear mechanism was dominant for both un-aged and aged samples.

Wear Properties

In today's rapidly developing automobile and aeronautical industries, numerous composites are widely used for various applications. This increases the need for continuous research and development of a number of composites. This research work investigated various volume % of cenosphere reinforced AA6063 composites which were made by stir casting method. These composites were surveilled with the help of chemical analysis and scanning electron microscopy to ensure the distribution and bonding between reinforcement and matrix. The design of experiments (DOE) was used to plan the wear tests and the wear results were obtained. The dry sliding wear behaviour of composites was studied by means of a pin-on-disc wear test machine and the results were compared with pure AA6063. The influences of critical parameters such as applied load, sliding speed were evaluated. Enhanced wear properties were observed with addition of cenospheres in aluminium alloy. Disc brake rotor was cast with optimum amount of cenosphere % using sand moulding.

Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and hot pressing. The phases and dry sliding wear behavior were studied. The results show that Fe-28Al bulk materials are mainly characterized by the low ordered B2 Fe3Al structure with some dispersed Al2O3 particles. Fe-28Al-10Ti exhibits more excellent wear resistance than Fe-28Al, especially after long distance sliding wear test. There are obvious differences in wear mechanisms of Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys under different testing conditions. Under the load of 100N, there is plastic deformation on the worn surface of Fe-28Al. The main wear performance of Fe-28Al-10Ti is particle abrasion, the characteristics of which are micro cutting and micro furrows, but micro-crack and layer splitting begin to form on the surface of Fe-28Al. Under the load of 200N, serious plastic deformation and work-hardening lead to rapid crack propagation and eventually the fatigue fracture of Fe-28Al. Plastic deformation is the main wear mechanism of Fe-28Al-10Ti under the load of 200N, which are characterized by micro-crack and small splitting from the worn surface.

Earlier work has shown that Al-5.7Si-2Cu-0.3Mg aluminium alloy is suitable for thixoforming process. Here, the dry sliding wear behaviour of the alloy, in the as-cast and thixoformed conditions were investigated. The cooling slope technique was used to produce the alloy with globular microstructure for the thixoforming process. Both the thixoformed and cast samples were subjected to T6 heat treatments prior to the wear tests. The tests were carried out using a pin-on-disc tribometer, against a hardened M2 tool steel disc of 62 HRC at different loads, under dry sliding conditions at fixed sliding speed and sliding distance of 1 m.s–1 and 5 km respectively. The microstructural response, worn surfaces were thoroughly and carefully examined using various methods such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The density of the heat treated thixoformed alloys showed significant increase in the hardness property, among others, due to its reduced porosity. Their wear test results also observed that the weight loss of materials increase with an increase in the input load and the sliding distance for all samples. However, the as-cast alloy displayed higher wear rate compared with the thixoformed alloys. In general, the wear mechanisms showed a mixture of abrasive, oxidative and delamination wear (mild wear) at low applied loads and mainly an adhesive (severe wear) at high applied loads.

The present works manages readiness of the composites by mix stirring method. A356 amalgam 4 wt. % of B4C and A356-4 wt. % of Graphite and A356-4% B4C-4% Graphite hybrid composites were readied. To enhance the wetting and uniform conveyance of the particles, fortifications were preheated to a temperature of 500 Degree Celsius. The arranged MMCs are subjected to examining SEM instrument which affirms the homogenous uniform appropriation of smaller scale B4C and Graphite particles in the lattice combination without agglomeration. The wear protection of arranged composites was examined by performing dry sliding wear test utilizing DUCOM made stick on plate mechanical assembly. The tests were directed at a consistent heap of 3kg and sliding separation of 4000m over a speed of 100, 200 and 300 rpm. So also the other arrangement of investigations were led at consistent sped of 300 rpm and sliding separation of 4000m and with changing heap of 1kg, 2kg, and 3kg. The outcomes demonstrated that the wear protections of the composites were improved than the lattice material.
