Wear behavior of al 7075/FA/SIC hybrid composites

Abstract

This research examined the influence of sic and fly ash on the wear behavior of Aluminum 7075/5 and weight percentage of hybrid complex. Aluminum alloy 7075 strengthened with sic-fly ash were examined. The effectiveness of integration of sic in the composite for obtaining wear reduction is investigated in this study. Using under stir casting route, the composites were made-up. Ceramic elements were incorporated into aluminum alloy matrix along with solid lubricating materials to improve the friction coefficient and to achieve the decrease in both wear resistance. With 5 and 10 weight percentage of sic /fly ash particles, the Aluminum 7075/fly ash/sic hybrid compound was made. The wear properties of the hybrid composites including sic expressed the superior properties of wear-resistance.
