The Dry-Sliding Wear Behavior of Aluminium Alloy/ SiC Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

The present research involved the conduction of dry sliding wear tests and the study of the microstructure of aluminium AA-2618 alloy matrix composite reinforced with Silicon Carbide particulates. The composites were machined to ASTM standards. The dry sliding wear tests were conducted on a pin-on-disc test rig while the microstructure was analyzed using an optical microscope. The addition of reinforcement particulates into the matrix material increases the wear resistance properties of the composite material.
