Mechanical Behavior of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite for Wheel Hub Application

Abstract

Now the days of light weight application in a industry. In light weight application the material also strength of the material also important once. The material behavior load character station and application area also important once. The most of the material not suitable for the application. In this work the aluminum MMC material has been chosen in this work. The main focus of the work is aluminum alloys wheel hub area. The main problem is wear resistance. Generally the alloy wheel hub are with stand in a 50000 KM in motor cycle. Then after they are wear out. When increase the hardness of the material hence the decreasing wear out corresponding wear resistance also improved. In this work the aluminum MMC as taken different level and observed which one material as chosen for the application. Finally we are discussed with fracture surface of the materials
