The present research involved the selection of aluminium AA2618 alloy matrix composite reinforced with Silicon Carbide particulates for the conduction of dry sliding wear tests in order to determine their tribological properties. The composites were machined to ASTM standards. The dry sliding wear tests were conducted on a pin-on-disc test rig. The addition of reinforcement particulates into the matrix material increases the wear resistance and reduces the coefficient of friction of the composite material.

Abstract


The present research involved the selection of aluminium AA2618 alloy matrix composite reinforced with Silicon Carbide particulates for the conduction of dry sliding wear tests in order to determine their tribological properties. The composites were machined to ASTM standards. The dry sliding wear tests were conducted on a pin-on-disc test rig. The addition of reinforcement particulates into the matrix material increases the wear resistance and reduces the coefficient of friction of the composite material.
