AbstractChicken eggshell (Es) waste is an industrial byproduct, and its disposal constitutes a severe environmental risk. Eggshell is a new engineering reinforcement retaining excellent properties such as low density, renewable, eco-friendly, and high thermal stability. The current research aims to study the effects of eggshell particles addition on microstructures, mechanical and tribological properties of aluminium/eggshell green metal matrix composites (MMCs). In the present work Al–Es metal matrix composite is produced by powder metallurgy processes. SEM with EDX and XRD were used to examine the microstructures and the compounds that arise during the sintering process of the produced composites. Six tests were conducted on the produced samples including; dry wear test, micro Vickers hardness, and ultimate compressive strength. The results showed that the addition of 3 wt. % of eggshell improved wear resistance (65%), compressive strength (40%) and hardness (15%). At 6 and 9 wt. % of eggshell, negative results appeared.

The friction and wear characteristics of PES/metal matrix composite materials were tested by the ball-disc friction pair of UMT-2 friction and wear test machine. The plastic layer is composed of distinct components. The results showed that: the tribological properties of PES/metal matrix composites were improved significantly after added 5wt % of the LCP. With the increasing of PTFE the PES/metal matrix composite material friction coefficient and wear rate were decreasing when the load of 10N and rotating speed of 400rmp. But the friction coefficient and wear rate increased when the mass fraction of PTFE more than 22 wt %. The tribological properties were the best when the PTFE content was 18 wt % to 25 wt % in the plastic layer.
