Using stir-casting, the hybrid aluminium metal matrix composites are prepared with the reinforcement of SiC and graphite particulates by varying equally 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% by weight. The wear and frictional force for the prepared specimens were investigated through pin on disc wear testing machine. Exercising ANOVA technique, the wear rate and coefficient of friction was accomplished with the impact of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance. Using Taguchi technique, experiments have been performed depending on the design of experiments. For analysis of data L9 Orthogonal array was preferred. Wear resistance and frictional force were influenced majorly with the reinforcement of graphite. The morphology of the depleted surfaces and the wear fragments were analysed to recognize the wear property. Distinguished to other percentages of reinforcements, 6% wt. of SiC and 6% wt. of graphite has demonstrated high wear resistance.

The frictional resistance and abrasion mechanism of high vanadium high speed steel were studied by the self-made friction wear testing machine under the conditions of 0.5% slip-roll ratio. Results show that the frictional resistance increases with the increase of carbon content. The retained austenite and the shapes of carbides will change when the carbon content alters, which make the frictional resistance of the material change, and the proper quantities of retained austenite makes the impact toughness the matrix better; The spherical VC can prevent the initiation and expansion of cracks forming and make the frictional resistance increase. The abrasion mechanism is fatigue flake under the condition of rolling and sliding.

This paper aims to investigate the mechanical (tensile, hardness, impact, elongation), microstructure and wear behaviours of aluminium alloy reinforced with mussel shell powder (MSP) at different weight percentages (0 wt. % to 15 wt. %) at 3 wt. % interval. The mussel shell powder was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The matrix and the composites’ morphology were studied using a scanning electron microscope attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy for the distribution of mussel shell powder particles within the matrix. The wear behaviour of the alloy and composites produced at various reinforcements were carried out using a Taber abrasion wear-testing machine. The XRF showed the compositions of MSP to contain calcium oxide (95.70 %), silica (0.83 %) and others. Mechanical properties showed that tensile values increase with increases in MSP, hardness value increases from 6 wt. % to 15 wt. % of MSP. The impact energy decreased from 42.6 J at 3 wt. % to 22.6 J at 15 wt. %; the percentage elongation also decreased from 37.4 % at 3 wt. % to 20.5 % at 15 wt. % MSP, respectively. The bending stress results increase with increases in the percentage of reinforcement. The morphologies revealed that uniform distribution of MSP within the matrix resulted to improvement in mechanical properties. The wear resistance of the composites increases with increase in the applied load and decreases with increases in the weight percentage of MSP and can be used in the production of brake pads and insulators in the automobile industry.

In the present work, phase, microstructure, and wear properties of Al2O3-reinforced Fe–Si alloy-based metal matrix nanocomposites have been studied. Composites using 2 wt.% and 5 wt.% of Si and rest Fe powder mix were synthesized via powder metallurgy and sintered at different temperature schedules. Iron–silicon alloy specimens were found to have high hardness and high wear resistance in comparison to pure iron specimens. Addition of 5 wt.% and 10 wt.% alumina reinforcement in Fe–Si alloy composition helped in developing iron aluminate (FeAl2O4) phase in composites which further improved the mechanical properties i.e. high hardness and wear resistance. Formation of iron aluminate phase occurs due to reactive sintering between Fe and Al2O3 particles. It is expected that the improved behavior of prepared nanocomposites as compared to conventional metals will be helpful in finding their use for wide industrial applications.

In this paper the tribological performance of oxide (Cr2O3, ZrO2CaO and Al203) and combined coatings applied on a commercially pure aluminum sheet were presented. Combined coatings were produced by applying Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film on the oxide coatings. Among the oxide coatings Cr2O3 exhibited the highest and Al2O3 exhibited the lowest wear resistance, in accordance with their hardness. Combined coatings exhibited superior wear resistance than oxide coatings even at heavy wear testing conditions.

Matrix Composites

Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMC’s) have been widely used because of their superior properties like high strength to wear ratio, high wear resistance, and higher heat conduction rate. The additions of reinforcements in the form of discontinuous particles lead to an increase in the properties of Metal Matrix Composites (MMC). In this present work, the ALMMC composite was fabricated with the addition of discontinuous reinforcement particles of Zirconium Carbide (ZrC) and Boron Carbide (B4C). The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and impact strength were tested as per the ASTM standards. The tribological properties were tested using a pin-on-disc setup under different loading conditions (10, 20, 30, 40 N). Moreover, the morphological characterization of ALMMC was carried out by using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. Furthermore, the Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was accomplished to find the thermal stability of ALMMC. The findings show that the variations of reinforcement of ZrC added had given improved properties like hardness, tensile strength, impact strength and wear resistance.

The Impact

Impact abrasive wear behavior of high chromium white iron (HCWI) produced by liquid die forging process were investigated. the wear tests were performed with the MLD-10 abrasive wear testing machine, using SiO2 abrasive and with four impact energies of 1.5 J, 2.5 J, 3.5 J and 4.5 J for 120 min. The results indicated that the cumulative volume loss of HCWI sample increases with the growth of impact energy, and exhibits best wear resistance under low impact condition. For given impact energy, the volume loss increases with the increasing of wear time, which shown an approximately liner tendency. The macro-morphologies, SEM images of worn surface and cross-sectional images of wear samples were observed by optical microscope and SEM, and the wear mechanism and characteristics were analyzed. Results shown that the wear characteristics is mainly based on the shallow ploughing and accompanied by plastic deformation under lower impact energy, while the fatigue peeling and embedded abrasive become the most significant characteristics when the impact energy is higher.

This paper present the result obtained from new experimental STEIN-MESYFIL 953 V; STEIN-MESYFIL 954 V coatings. The surfacing material was wires of 1.6 mm diameter. The tests aimed at determining wear resistance of coatings sprayed on steel substrate. The investigation shows that the tribological behaviour of new experimental thermal arc sprayed coatings is greatly affected by its microstructural constituents such as porosity, oxide inclusions, and microhardness of coatings. Results show that increasing porosity of coatings twice, it doubles the mass loss. Results for thermal sprayed coatings of all experiments showed their high wear resistance and are discussed.

Tribology behavior of Nanodiamond(ND) polyurethane(PU)/epoxy(EP) interpenetrating polymer networks hybrid materials were tested by friction wear testing machine. Results showed that when EP content was 30%, resultant PU/EP IPNs exhibited best wear resistance. For ND-PU/EP IPNs hybrids, when the ND addition was 0.2wt%, the best wear resistant ability was obtained. Under dry condition, the effect of wear parameters, such as rotational speed, load and central distance to friction and abrasion value were also investigated.
