In this research work, the interaction of aluminum alloy (6061) and EN-31 steel is examined, and interaction is studied on the basis of tribological outcomes under dry sliding conditions at various ranges of temperature. The extrusion process is actually an intricate process, which depends on environmental temperature, sliding velocity with respect to the mating part, the type of external shape, wear and coefficient of friction. Here, variables which directly or indirectly influence the interactions are designed for this system in such a manner that the results can be co-related with another system that has equivalent working condition as there in hot forming and cold forming (up to 250°C) of material interactions. The current work is done on a pin which slides on a disc of aluminium alloy 6061 and EN-31 steel set-up. Experiments are carried out under different conditions by using the design of experiments (DoE) for each case. In the first case (Case-I), the disc is steel and the aluminum alloy works as a pin. In the second case (Case-II), the disc is aluminum alloy and steel works as a pin. Henceforth, frictional coefficient and difference in the weight or wear (volume loss) before and after experiment is achieved. Finally, experiments are designed with the help of design tool to optimize the results and execute the different parameters by involving the analysis of variance . Lower wear volume loss is observed in a steel disc compared to the aluminium alloy pin at room temperature.

In the current research work, the influence of titanium metal powder on wear beheviour of Al 7075 composites is investigated. These composites were fabricated by using the high vacuum casting machine. The Tribological beheviour of titanium metal powder aluminum alloy composites was investigated by performing dry sliding experiments as a function of wear with a E-31 harden steel disk( 62 HRC) as the counterpart on pin on disk machine . Wear experiments were performed for normal load of 20, 35, 50 , 65 and 80 N at sliding velocities of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25 m/s and sliding distance (250 ,500, 750, 1000 and 1250 m at room temperature. The tests were performed on Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal array and the effect of working parameters on wear rate was studied using ANOVA. To investigate the dominant sliding wear mechanism for different steady state experiment conditions, the SEM micrograph of worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The wear rate was found to minimum as compared to unfilled alloy and the wear resistance improves the aluminum alloy composites. Finally, it was investigated that the analysis of microstructure and wear properties of titanium metal powder filled alloy composite.

Thin NiP and NiP+SiO2 coatings were deposited by electroless techniques on aluminum alloy plates. Dry sliding tests against Al2O3 counterbody with the ball on plate contact geometry and reciprocal moving were carried out. The results of tribological tests showed that the friction coefficient of the modified coating at loads above 500 mN by 3-4 times, and wear 1.4-2 times lower than for original NiP coatings. It was found that during friction of NiP and NiP+SiO2 coatings different tribochemical processes are realized. These processes lead to the formation of different by chemical composition of P, Ni and O of secondary structures on the friction surfaces and as result to different tribological properties of the investigated coatings.

Aluminum Alloy metal is widely used in making lightweight construction on machinery. To produce a flat metal alluminium alloy surface, a shearing machine is needed. There are two types of aluminum materials that are commonly used, namely Aluminum 6061 and 7075. In the process of forming metals using a scrap machine, it is important to determine the machining parameters because this is closely related to the surface conditions of the workpiece produced. Difficulties in determining the appropriate combination of machining parameters often result in work surface conditions that are not as expected or have a high roughness. With the right parameters, the quality of surface roughness can be predicted as planned before the machining process. The cutting parameters are cutting speed and cutting depth. In this study the cutting speed used varied, namely 4.68 m / min, 7.30 m / min, 11.70 m / min, 18.29 m / min with a cutting depth of 0.50 mm, 1.00 mm and 1 , 50 mm, to cut aluminum 6061 and 7075 using the HSS chisel. In the initial step, do the machine tool settings, place the chisel on the chisel holder, place the workpiece in vise, adjust the cutting speed, depth of feed, and perform machining. After machining, a surface roughness measurement is carried out using a surface test. From the results of the study it was found that the value of surface roughness is directly proportional to the depth of cut. The value of surface roughness is inversely proportional to cutting speed and hardness of the material. Determination of cutting speed through empirical equations based on surface roughness: aluminum alloy 6061 is: Ra = 23,366e-0,146Vc (µm) and aluminum alloy 7075 are: Ra = 13,482e-0.109Vc (µm). ABSTRAK Bahan logam aluminium Alloy banyak digunakan dalam pembuatan konstruksi ringan pada mesin-mesin. Untuk menghasilkan permukaan logam alluminium alloy yang rata, maka diperlukan mesin sekrap. Terdapat dua jenis material aluminium yang umum digunakan yaitu Aluminium 6061 dan 7075. Pada proses pembentukan logam dengan menggunakan mesin sekrap, adalah penting untuk menentukan parameter pemesinan  Karena hal ini berkaitan erat dengan kondisi permukaan benda kerja yang dihasilkan. Kesulitan dalam menentukan kombinasi parameter pemesinan yang sesuai seringkali mengakibatkan kondisi permukaan benda kerja kerja yang tidak sesuai diharapkan atau memiliki kekasaran yang tinggi. Dengan parameter yang tepat, kualitas kekasaran permukaan dapat diprediksi seperti yang direncanakan sebelum proses pemesinan. Parameter pemotongan tersebut adalah kecepatan pemotongan dan kedalaman potong. Pada penelitian ini kecepatan pemotongan yang digunakan bervariasi yaitu 4,68 m/min,7,30 m/min, 11,70 m/min,18,29 m/min dengan kedalaman pemotongan 0,50 mm,1,00 mm dan 1,50 mm, untuk memotong aluminum  6061 dan 7075 dengan menggunakan mata pahat HSS.. Pada langkah awali dilakukan setting mesin perkakas, meletakkan mata pahat pada pemegang mata pahat, meletakkan benda kerja pada ragum, melakukan settingg untuk kecepatan pemotongan, kedalaman pemakanan, dan melakukan pemesinan. Setiap kali selesai pemesinan, dilakukan pengukuran kekasaran permukaan dengan menggunakan alat ukur surface test. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa nilai kekasaran permukaan berbanding lurus dengan kedalaman potong. Nilai kekasaran permukaan berbanding terbalik dengan kecepatan potong dan kekerasan material. Penentuan kecepatan potong melalui  persamaan empiris  berdasarkan kekasaran permukaan:  aluminium alloy 6061 adalah:  Ra = 23.366e-0.146Vc(µm) dan aluminium alloy 7075 adalah:  Ra = 13.482e-0.109Vc(µm).

Abstract The present research work is focused on the production of aluminum alloy 8011 with 12 wt.-% fly ash composite by using the stir casting method. A three-level central composite design experiment is developed using response surface methodology (RSM) with various parameters. Load, time and sliding velocity are varied in the range of (5-15 N), (5-15 min) and (1.5-4.5 m × s-1), respectively. Dry sliding wear tests are performed as per the experimental design using a pin-on-disc at room temperature. This paper describes how optimization studies were carried out on a dry sliding wear process with multi-response characteristics based on MCDM using the TOPSIS approach. The process parameters, load, time and sliding velocity are optimized with multi-response characteristics, including the wear rate (WR), and the coefficient of friction (COF). A sensitivity analysis is also carried out and compared with the relative impact of input parameters on wear behavior in order to verify the measurement errors on the values of the uncertainty in estimated parameters. The experimental results indicate that the multi-response characteristics of aluminum alloy 8011 with 12 wt.-% fly ash composite used during the wear behavior process can be enhanced through the TOPSIS method.

In order to prolong the life of steel worm pair used in track tension adjuster, a test method was designed to evaluate the effect of hardness on the fretting wear behavior of steel worm gear on a SRVⅣoscillating friction and wear tester. Through this method the fretting wear behavior of 40CrNiMoA steel-18Cr2Ni4WA steel with different hardness matching was studied under dry sliding condition at room temperature. The results show that in the steel worm gear pair composed of 40CrNiMoA steel and 18Cr2Ni4WA steel, the fretting wear volume loss of 40CrNiMoA steel decreased and that of the 18Cr2Ni4WA steel worm material increased with the hardness of 40CrNiMoA steel increasing. When the hardness of 40CrNiMoA steel is about HRC49, fretting wear volumes of the worm specimen was equal to that of the worm wheel specimen. Based on the experimental results, reasonable hardness matching for prolonging the life of steel worm pair used in track tension adjuster was proposed.
