Corrosion of Metal-Matrix Composites with Aluminium Alloy Substrate
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2010, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
The corrosion behaviour of MMCs with aluminium alloy matrix was presented. The corrosion characteristics of boron-, graphite-, silicon carbide-, alumina- and mica- reinforced aluminium MMCs were reviewed. The reinforcing phase influence on MMCs corrosion rate as well as on various corrosion forms (galvanic, pitting, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatique, tribocorrosion) was discussed. Some corrosion protection methods of aluminium based MMCs were described.

Tribology Development in Russia and Belarus
The paper presents a brief overview of the achievements of the Russian and Soviet tribology schools. The contribution of the Soviet tribology leader Prof. Kragelskii into the science of friction, wear, and lubrication is...
Fracture Toughness and Tribological Wear Behaviour of Micro Alloyed Pearlitic- Ferritic Ductile Cast Iron
Fracture toughness and wear behaviour of micro alloyed ductile iron were investigated. Hardness, fracture, fracture toughness and wear tests were carried out on the ductile irons samples (D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5), containi...
Energy Balance of Friction and Friction Coefficient in Energetical Interpretation
Sliding friction energy model is proposed. In this model, generalized mechanism of transformation and dissipation of energy under friction the model of elastic-plastic deformation and fracture contact volumes is consider...
Tribological Behaviour of W-DLC against an Aluminium Alloy Subjected to Lubricated Sliding
Diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings mitigate aluminium adhesion and reduce friction under the ambient conditions but their tribological behaviour under lubricated sliding need to be further investigated. In this study, tr...
Effect of Lubrication on Sliding Wear of Red Mud Particulate Reinforced Aluminium Alloy 6061
In present study, Red mud, an industrial waste, has been utilized as a reinforcement material to fabricate Aluminium 6061 matrix based metal matrix composite. Taguchi L18 orthogonal array has been employed for fabricatio...
