Earlier work has shown that Al-5.7Si-2Cu-0.3Mg aluminium alloy is suitable for thixoforming process. Here, the dry sliding wear behaviour of the alloy, in the as-cast and thixoformed conditions were investigated. The cooling slope technique was used to produce the alloy with globular microstructure for the thixoforming process. Both the thixoformed and cast samples were subjected to T6 heat treatments prior to the wear tests. The tests were carried out using a pin-on-disc tribometer, against a hardened M2 tool steel disc of 62 HRC at different loads, under dry sliding conditions at fixed sliding speed and sliding distance of 1 m.s–1 and 5 km respectively. The microstructural response, worn surfaces were thoroughly and carefully examined using various methods such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The density of the heat treated thixoformed alloys showed significant increase in the hardness property, among others, due to its reduced porosity. Their wear test results also observed that the weight loss of materials increase with an increase in the input load and the sliding distance for all samples. However, the as-cast alloy displayed higher wear rate compared with the thixoformed alloys. In general, the wear mechanisms showed a mixture of abrasive, oxidative and delamination wear (mild wear) at low applied loads and mainly an adhesive (severe wear) at high applied loads.

Dry sliding wear properties of aluminum nitride (AlN) reinforced aluminum silicon (Al-Si) alloy were investigated by using a pin-on-disc configuration tester. In this work, different weight percentages (5 and 10 wt%) of AlN was added into the Al-Si alloys. The samples were prepared by a stir casting process via a bottom pour technique which was then aged with a T6 condition prior to the wear test. Detailed analyses on the morphologies were conducted using scanning electron microscope (SEM) with the aid of an energy dispersive x-ray analyser (EDX). Prior to the heat treatment, the distribution of hard aluminum nitride particles that surrounded the Si phase had improved the hardness of the composites by 15%. The hardness value was found to be significantly increased about 80% for aged samples compared to un-aged samples. This was mainly contributed from precipitations of Si grain and intermetallic compounds; Mg2Si and FeSiAl5 formation in the alloys. Thus, a significant increased in wear resistance up to 56% was also observed especially at the highest applied load of 70N. Surface investigation by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that a combination of abrasion and adhesion wear mechanism was dominant for both un-aged and aged samples.

Wear Properties

In today's rapidly developing automobile and aeronautical industries, numerous composites are widely used for various applications. This increases the need for continuous research and development of a number of composites. This research work investigated various volume % of cenosphere reinforced AA6063 composites which were made by stir casting method. These composites were surveilled with the help of chemical analysis and scanning electron microscopy to ensure the distribution and bonding between reinforcement and matrix. The design of experiments (DOE) was used to plan the wear tests and the wear results were obtained. The dry sliding wear behaviour of composites was studied by means of a pin-on-disc wear test machine and the results were compared with pure AA6063. The influences of critical parameters such as applied load, sliding speed were evaluated. Enhanced wear properties were observed with addition of cenospheres in aluminium alloy. Disc brake rotor was cast with optimum amount of cenosphere % using sand moulding.

In the present investigation, microstructural characteristics and dry sliding wear behaviour of T6 heat treated conventionally cast Al-25Mg2Si-2Cu alloy have been discussed. The as cast alloy was subjected to solutionizing at 500°C for 5h and isothermal aging treatment at 190°C for different aging times. The micro structural characterization was studied using Scanning Electron Microscope with EDS analysis. The microstructure of as cast alloy consists of intermetallics of coarse block like sharp edged β-(Mg2Si), θ-(Al2Cu) and Q-(Al-Mg-Cu-Si) in the form of Chinese scripts and needles distributed randomly in the Al-matrix. The microstructure of heat treated alloy shows spheroidization of β phase and fine precipitation of θ-(Al2Cu) and Q phases. The dry sliding wear test was carried out using pin-on-disc machine. Age hardened alloy exhibits high wear resistance and minimum coefficient of friction over the entire range of applied loads and sliding velocities. Furthermore, high wear resistance was observed in the under aged condition compared to over ageing conditions.

Sliding Wear Behaviour

The mechanical properties and dry sliding wear behaviour of glass fabric reinforced epoxy (G-E) composite with varying weight percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2) filler have been studied in the present work. The influence of sliding distance, velocity, and applied normal load on dry sliding wear behaviour has been considered using Taguchi's L9orthogonal array. Addition of SiO2increased the density, hardness, flexural, and impact strengths of G-E composite. Results of dry sliding wear tests showed increasing wear volume with increase in sliding distance, load, and sliding velocity for G-E and SiO2filled G-E composites. Taguchi's results indicate that the sliding distance played a significant role followed by applied load, sliding velocity, and SiO2loading. Scanning electron micrographs of the worn surfaces of composite samples at different test parameters show smooth surface, microploughing, and fine grooves under low load and velocity. However, severe damage of matrix with debonding and fiber breakage was seen at high load and velocity especially in unfilled G-E composite.

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.

In this work, the dry sliding wear behaviour of recursively friction stir processed AA7075 was investigated using a pin-on-disc wear testing apparatus. The microstructure of the processed specimen was probed using optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Experiments were conducted using Taguchi experimental design by varying three different parameters like load, sliding velocity and sliding distance, and the analysis of variance was performed to identify the influence of the parameters over the wear rate. From the main effect plot, the combination of 9.81 N of load, 2 m/s of sliding velocity and a sliding distance of 2000 m was identified as the optimum levels that minimize the wear rate. The regression model was developed to calculate the wear rate, and the validation test was performed with the optimum parameter combination and compared with the experimental results. Wear tracks were examined using field-emission scanning electron microscopy to identify the type of wear mechanism.

Fe-based system powder metallurgy in the as-sintered was investigated on pin-on-rolling wear tester for their dry sliding wear behaviour. The morphology of worn surfaces and wear mechanism were analysed by SEM. Results show the hot-forging deformation quenching and tempered considerably decreased the porosity and improved wear resistance, and compare with quenching microstructure, tempered microstructure has high wear resistance and match of strength-toughness. Fe-2.0Ni-0.4Mo-0.5C-0.6Cr alloy presented best wear characteristics. SEM observations of the worn surface revealed microploughing and plastic deformation and crack were the basic dry sliding wear morphology,and oxidative wear and delamination wear are dominant wear mechanism.
