Wear is the major parameter for various applications in automobile and aeronautical industries. Various researches are going on to improve the wear by either alloying the material or using the composite material. Current study focuses on wear improvement through composite material with aluminium as matrix and cenospheres as re-inforcement. The abrasive wear behavior of cenosphere particle reinforced aluminium alloy (AA) 6063 was investigated using pin-on-disc technique. Aluminium -cenosphere metal matrix composite was fabricated by adding various percentages of cenosphere particles using stir casting technique and its abrasive wear behavior was compared with AA6063. The uniform distribution of particles was ensured with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
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.
