In the present investigation, wear test is conducted on a pin-on-disc device at room temperature for both the age hardening and without age hardening conditions. Al7075 has been chosen as the matrix material. Hybrid aluminum metal matrix composites are produced utilizing stir casting route for enhancing the wear behavior and hardness number. The reinforcement used is silicon carbide with 5, 10, and 15 wt% and alumina as the reinforcement in 5, 10, and 15 wt%. In the aluminum matrix, microstructural characterization reveals homogeneous mixing of reinforcements. This investigation shows that the enhanced wear resistance is due to the increment weight fraction of reinforcement. By raising the sliding speeds, there is a reduction in the rate of wear and it reduces with increment in the sliding distance. With increasing weight fraction, there is decrement in the rate of wear of composites. In general, tribological property enhances because of the addition of the two reinforcements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
