Magnesium alloys, in which the in-situ Mg2Si particles were dispersed, were fabricated by a casting process, and the dry sliding wear behavior of the alloys was investigated. Optical microscopy revealed that the polygonal Mg2Si particles were homogeneously dispersed in the alloys. Mg2Si particle volume fractions in the alloys were 7 and 11 vol%. Although the wear loss of the alloy decreased due to the particle-dispersion, there was no difference in the wear loss between the alloys with different volume fractions. The worn surfaces of the particle-dispersed alloys were covered with the crumbled Mg2Si particles, which would prevent seizure between the alloy and the steel counterpart, leading to an improvement in the wear resistance of the alloy. The particle-dispersion slightly decreased the scatter of the coefficient of friction during the wear for the low sliding speed and load, but the effect of the dispersion was not clearly observed for the high speed and load.

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.

The AA7075-4%TiC metal matrix composite produced through in-situ casting technique was hot extruded and subjected to annealing at 415°C for 150 minutes. Another set of hot extruded AA7075-4%TiC metal matrix composite was heat treated to T6 condition. Dry sliding wear test was conducted with different sliding speeds and loads for both annealed and T6 conditioned composites to compare their wear behaviour. It was observed that irrespective of the heat treatment conditions, the depth of wear, decreases with increasing sliding velocity for all the loads tested and increases with increasing load for all the sliding velocities.

In the present work AA1100/ Al3Ni MMC was successfully fabricated using the in-situ method of stirring and squeeze casting. The effects of amount of Ni powder on the formation and mechanical behavior of Al-Al3Ni MMC were investigated. The fabricated MMC was characterized using XRD and optical microscope. The XRD patterns clearly indicated the presence of Al3Ni particles without the formation of intermediate phases. The in-situ formed Al3Ni particles were found to have uniform distribution, good bonding and clear interface. The mechanical and tribological properties such as hardness, Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and dry sliding wear behavior of AA1100/ Al3Ni MMC were compared for stir and squeeze casted MMCs with different percentage in weight of Al3Ni (5, 10 wt. %) and it was found that properties improved with increase in Al3Ni content and all properties of squeeze casted MMCs were superior to stir casted MMCs.

The in situ method of making zinc-aluminum composites wherein TiC has been introduced has been investigated in the present paper for its microstructural, physical, and dry sliding wear behavior and compared with the base alloy. In the present study, ZA-27 alloy reinforced with 5 and 10 vol % TiC was taken into consideration. The results indicate that the wear rate and coefficient of friction of composites were lower than that of base alloy. The material loss in terms of both wear volume loss and wear rate increases with increase in load and sliding distance, respectively, while coefficient of friction follows a reverse trend with increase in load. Better performance was obtained for 5% TiC reinforcement than with 10% probably due to agglomeration of particles resulting in nonuniform dispersion. Worn surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis.

In this investigation, wear behavior of hybrid aluminum metal matrix composites (HMMCs) fabricated by stir casting technique is carried out. Boron carbide and Mica particles are added. The Mica percentage varies from 3–5% in steps of 1% with a constant reinforcement quantity of 10% boron carbide. The dry sliding wear experiments are explored on a pin on disc tribometer. The process variables considered for the study are: Mica mass fraction, sliding speed, load and sliding time, and the response analyzed is wear loss. Box-Behnken design is used for conducting the experiments. The result shown proves that 3% of Mica particle inclusion reduces the wear due to the increase in density. Further increase of mica does not improve the wear resistance. ANOVA results indicate that load and % of Mica are the profoundly influencing parameters. The pin surface is analyzed by using a Scanning Electron Microscope.
