“…However, there is improvement in corrosion resistance of composites with increase in reinforcement content when compared to matrix material. 26 Folorunso and Owoeye investigated the mechanical and tribological properties of ZA-27 matrix SiC reinforced metal matrix composites fabricated by stir casting route. It is found that there is homogenous mixture of reinforcement particles which was found during investigation.…”

The aim of present study is to investigate the microstructural, mechanical and tribological behavior of Zinc Alloy (ZA-27) hybrid metal matrix composites reinforced with graphite (Gr) and alumina (Al2O3). In the present study graphite and Al2O3 content is varied with composition (0, 3.5, 7 and 10.5 wt. %) prepared with liquid state stir casting process. Microstructure, density, hardness, compressive strength, impact strength and wear rate of composites have been investigated. SEM micrograph shows the uniform distribution of reinforcement particles in ZA-27 matrix. It is found that mechanical properties of composites depend on the reinforcements content. Hardness, compressive strength and impact strength of composites increases with an increase in reinforcements content up to 7 wt. %. It is observed that reinforced composites show good tribological properties. Wear resistance of composites is increased with an increase in hybrid reinforcement content. Maximum wear resistance is found at 10.5 wt.% reinforcements content. Further, TOPSIS methodology is adopted for the optimization of reinforcements content which shows that 7 wt.% of reinforcements provide better mechanical properties among all the compositions. It is expected that this composite will be beneficial in automobile industries.

This study involves the preparation of in situ TiC-reinforced zinc-aluminum alloy (ZA-37) composites and analysis of their high-stress abrasive wear behavior. The wear rate, friction coefficient, and frictional heating of the composites are investigated using a pin-on-disk wear tester. The experiments are carried out based on a plan created using Taguchi's technique. TOPSIS methodologies are used to determine the effects of applied load, abrasion distances, TiC contents on wear rate, coefficient of friction, and frictional heating throughout the wearing process. The results reveal that the composite with 10 wt% TiC exhibits the highest level of wear resistance among all samples. It is found that ploughing, microcutting, and delamination were the dominant wear mechanisms in general. However, in the optimum combination, mild abrasion and microploughing prevail. As per TOPSIS analysis, the reinforcement content affects the wear rate of test materials the most followed by applied load and abrading distance. Under the optimal combination of parameters, the in situ TiC composite has the potential of replacing the conventional gray cast iron utilized in bearing applications.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of incorporating SiC nanoparticles into ZA-27 alloy on the corrosion behavior of the produced nanocomposites. Design/methodology/approach The nanocomposites were fabricated by a double-step stir casting technique. The corrosion behavior of the produced ZA-27 nanocomposites was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization test in a 3.5% NaCl medium. The surfaces of the fabricated metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) before and after corrosion tests were imaged and analyzed using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) to examine the microstructure of the produced MMNCs and morphology of its surface before and after corrosion. Findings The corrosion test results reveal that the fabricated nanocomposites have an improved uniform corrosion resistance when compared with the corresponding monolithic matrix alloy. On the other hand, the base monolithic alloy is less susceptible to the pitting phenomenon than the nanocomposites. The electrochemical results are consistent with the pits morphology of the corroded MMNCs. Originality/value This study highlights the use of SiC nano-particulates for controlling of ZA alloy corrosion behavior and enhancing its anti-corrosion characteristics which will open a new route for industrial applications. The corrosion behavior of ZA-27 alloy-based composite reinforced with different weight fractions of nano-SiC particles have an improved uniform corrosion behavior as compared with the corresponding matrix alloy.
