The dry sliding wear behavior of the Al-12Si-CuNiMg matrix alloy and its composite reinforced with Al2O3 fibers was investigated using a pin-on-disk wear-testing machine. The volume fraction of Al2O3 fibers in the composite was 17 vol.%. Wear tests are conducted under normal loads of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 N, and sliding velocities of 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 m/s. Furthermore, the worn surfaces of the matrix alloy and the composite were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the wear resistance of the composite was inferior to that of the matrix alloy, which could be attributed to the high content of reinforcement and casting porosities in the composite. Worn-surface analysis indicates that the dominant wear mechanisms of both materials were abrasive wear and adhesive wear under the present testing conditions.

In the present study, the effects of TiC content on the microstructure, hardness, and wear property are to be investigated. Magnesium matrix hybrid composites reinforced with varying wt.% of TiC (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20) and a fixed wt.% of MoS2 (7.5) were produced by powder metallurgy. The microstructure of the hybrid composite samples was analyzed using optical microscopy. Elemental composition of sintered specimens was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The Vicker's hardness test was performed in different locations on the sintered specimen surface with a load of 5 g and 15 s dwell time. The dry sliding wear test was carried out in a pin-on-disk wear testing machine at various load (5–30 N), velocity (0.5–3 m/s), and sliding distance (500–3000 m). Tribological investigation was statistically analyzed using Taguchi L27 orthogonal array with four factors at three levels. A graphical and numerical optimization technique was used to find the optimum value of TiC content using the predicted value of the responses. The tribological properties of the fabricated composites improved significantly compared to that of the magnesium matrix due to the combined effect obtainable by both reinforcements.

This research work focuses about fabrication and investigation on the influence of Titanium Carbide (TiC)-graphite particles reinforcement in wear behavior of Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMC). The stir casting technique was used to fabricate AMC reinforced with various weight percentage of TiC and graphite particles. Wear tests were conducted by using pin-on-disc wear testing machine. The hardness of the hybrid composites were recorded on the test specimen. The worn out surfaces of composites were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Results reveal that the presence of TiC and graphite particles improved the wear resistance. The wear of composite is primarily due to delamination and abrasion. The graphite particles serve as the solid lubricant on the wear of composite. The hardness of composite is improved with the decrease in weight percentage of graphite. SEM images reveal that the reinforcement particles in the matrix are homogeneously distributed. Also, worn-out surfaces of the composite were studied to observe wear track and wear mechanisms like plowing grooves, crack or cutting, and fragmentation.

Dry Sliding

The dry sliding wear behaviour of LM 24 aluminum alloy composites reinforced with garnet particles was evaluated. Stir casting technique was used to fabricate the composites. A pin-on-disc wear-testing machine was used to evaluate the wear rate, in which an EN 24 steel disc was used as the counterface. Results indicated that the wear rates of the composites were lower than that of the matrix alloy and further decreased with the increase in garnet content. However, in both unreinforced and reinforced composites, the wear rate increased with the increase in load and the sliding speed. Increase in the applied load increased the wear severity by changing the wear mechanism from abrasion to particle cracking-induced delamination wear. It was found that with the increase in garnet content, the wear resistance increased monotonically. The observations have been explained using scanning electron microscopy analysis of the worn surfaces and the subsurface of the composites. In this work, the most influencing input and output parameters have been performed and the process parameters have been prioritized using genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the most influencing input as well as output process parameters. The practical significance of applying genetic algorithm to dry sliding wear behavior process has been validated by means of computing the deviation between predicted and experimentally obtained wear behavior of metal matrix composite.

The effect of tempering temperature and microstructure on dry sliding wear behavior of quenched and tempered PM steels was investigated. For this purpose, atomized iron powder was mixed with 0.3 % graphite and 1-2 % Ni powders. The mixed powders were cold pressed and sintered at 1200°C. The sintered specimens were quenched from 890°C and then tempered at 200°C and 600°C for 1 hr. Wear tests were carried out on the quenched+tempered specimens under dry sliding wear conditions using a pin-on-disk type machine at constant load and speed. The experimental results showed that the wear coefficient effectively increased with increasing tempering temperature. With increasing Ni content, the wear coefficient slightly decreased at all tempering temperatures due to the high amount of Ni-rich austenitic areas.

Taguchi’S Design Of Experiments

Nowadays, Polymer composites are frequently used for engineering applications such as aerospace, automotive and marine industries. The present research is on evaluation of wear properties of epoxy resin composite fabricated using alumina (Al2O3) in 5wt% and Silicon Carbide (SiC) in 5-15 wt% in steps of 5 wt% as fillers for testing purpose. The tribological properties such as dry sliding wear characteristics have been evaluated by conducting wear tests using Pin-on-Disc wear testing setup for sliding speed (200/300/400 rpm) and sliding load (20/30/40 N). The wear properties are analyzed using Taguchi’s Design of Experiments and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) techniques. From the statistical analysis it is found that the 15wt% of SiC is major factor influencing the wear resistance of the composite material. Finally regression analysis has been carried out to build regression model to predict the wear rate of the composite material under different sliding conditions.

 The aim of the present research is to study the effect of cadmium addition on microstructure and wear behavior of the alloy (Al-12%Si) under dry sliding conditions. Wear behavior was studied by using the Pin-On- Disc technique under different conditions at applied loads 5-20 N, at constant sliding speed and in constant time. The steel disc hardness was 35HRc. All alloys were prepared with different percentages of cadmium (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) wt%. Also the base alloy was prepared by melting and pouring the molten metal in a metallic mold. It was found that the cadmium addition to Al-Si matrix decreases the wear rate and improves the wear properties for alloys containing -Cd under loads above 10N. It was also found that the alloy Al-12%Si containing 3%Cd is the best alloy in wear resistance and friction coefficient. This is due to presence of the Cd-phase as cuboids or hard particles distributed in a eutectic matrix which reduces the friction coefficient at high loads (20N).
