Study of Abrasive Wear Behaviour of Al-Cu-Mg/Titanium Dioxide Particulate Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite

Abstract

In the present investigation, Aluminium based metal matrix composites containing Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) are synthesized using stir-cast method. Macro structural studies have shown near uniform distribution of Titanium dioxide particulates in the matrix material. Influence of TiO2 particulate on dry sand rubber wheel abrasion wear characteristics was carried out to explore the feasibility of using this metal matrix composite, developed for abrasion wear resistance application. The details of the results obtained are presented in this paper. Resistance to wear has increased with increase in Titanium dioxide particles; wear has increased with increase in normal load and sliding velocity. Hardness has also increased with increase in weight percentage of TiO2 particles.
