An attempt is made to find the mechanical and tribological properties of Al6061/Gr metal matrix composites (MMC) produced using stir casting method. It is important to note that the certain components require high hardness and wear resistance to fulfil the functional requirements, the said properties of the MMCs influenced largely on the condition with which they are produced or treated. Therefore, in the present paper the composites are tested in two stages that is before T6 heat treatment and after T6 heat treatment respectively. The composites are made with Al6061 alloy as matrix and graphite with 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% by wt is considered as reinforcement. Once the composites are prepared, they are examined for their microstructural, mechanical, and tribological properties. Further, a response surface methodology (RSM) has been used to model the wear loss and coefficient of friction for both before and after T6 heat treatment of MMCs. The non-linear regression model obtained is validated both statistically and with the help of experimental test cases. The evidence of wear phenomenon has been observed with the help of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Further, fuzzy grey relational Technique has been used to determine the multi performance index for the dry sliding wear and friction phenomenon of the developed composite.

In present paper, the dry sliding wear behaviors of wrought Al-12.7Si-0.7Mg alloy have been investigated using a pin-on-disc machine. The effect of various parameters, such as alloy conditions, sliding speed, and normal pressure, has been investigated. Wear surface was characterized by SEM/EDX microanalysis. The microstructure, hardness and tensile properties of the extruded profile were investigated with the aim of understanding the wear and friction mechanisms. The present results reveal an improvement in the mechanical and tribological properties, obtained due to microstructure characterized by fine Si particles uniformly distributed in the Al matrix of fine equiaxed grains, as promoted by hot extrusion. It was also revealed that higher hardness and the lower aspect ratio of eutectic Si particles contributed to the better wear resistance.

In this work, the effect of various concentrations of sodium hydroxide treatment (5, 10, 15 and 20%) on tribological properties of Phoenix sp. fiber reinforced epoxy composites was investigated for the first time and reported. The composites were fabricated by using compression molding technique with optimized fiber length (20 mm) and fiber volume fraction (40%). The shore D hardness of the untreated and treated fiber reinforced composites was determined. The dry sliding wear test was conducted using pin-on-disk wear testing machine at different loads (10, 20 and 30 N), sliding speeds (1, 2 and 3 m/s) and sliding distances (1, 2 and 3 km). The arithmetic mean surface roughness of the samples was measured before and after the wear test. The outcomes revealed that the concentration of sodium hydroxide treatment significantly influenced the hardness and tribological properties and surface roughness value of the fabricated composites. In particular, the composites reinforced with 15% treated fiber composites showed higher wear resistance at all operating conditions and was suggested for fabricating the friction composites for automobile and machine tool applications. The morphology of the worn surfaces of the samples was examined using a scanning electron microscope to study the wear mechanisms.

Purpose In this study, waste iron scale, which occurs in high amounts during steel production and contains high amounts of iron element, was used as a reinforcing material in the polypropylene (PP) matrix. Design/methodology/approach In the PP matrix, 33 micron-sized iron scale was added at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% ratios. The composites were subjected to mechanical and dry sliding wear tests. The wear mechanisms occurring on the wear surfaces were determined by SEM supported by EDS. Tensile testing was performed using a tensile tester. Hardness tests were performed using a Shore-D hardness tester with ASTM-D-22 standards. Findings Composite reinforced with 5% iron scale showed the highest tensile strength. The addition of higher amounts of iron scale particles reduced the tensile strength of the composites compared to PP. Hardness increased from 58 to 64 Shore-D with the increase in scale content. The reinforcement of PP with iron scale increased the dry sliding wear resistance. Originality/value According to the authors’ knowledge, in the literature review, there was no study found on the effect of iron scale reinforcement on PP.
