Experimental Analysis on Sliding Wear Behaviour of Aluminium-6063 with SiC Particulate Composites

Abstract

One of the most common problems encountered in many industrial products and its applications is wear. The purpose of this experimental research article is to analyze the wear behaviour of Al-6063 based SiC composites using pin on disc testing machine. In this present investigation there are nine different samples of Al/SiC composites with 5%, 7% and 9% volume of SiC were prepared through stir casting process. The sliding distance of 500 meter and the load 10 N were applied for wear testing of these prepared samples. From the experimental results, it was observed that the sliding velocity is greatly affects the wear rate and on increasing the sliding velocity the wear loss increases. It was also found that the wear loss decreases by increasing the amount of reinforcement element. Scanning electron microscope was used to examine the wear surfaces and found that the micro and transverse cracks, mild and severe wear occurred in the composite worn surfaces and wear structure of the composites.

Analysis of Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics on Biofuel of Novel Pine Oil

“…7,8 Generally, biofuel is the name given to the type of fuel derived from plant based sources and biomass, and are believed to gratify the demands of petroleum fuels in the near future. [9][10][11] The presence of inherent oxygen in these biofuels, unlike conventional fuels, offers immense benefits in respect of engine combustion, performance, and emission. Biofuels, in addition to being renewable and biodegradable, have considerably reduced the level of exhaust gases like hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and smoke emissions 12 , when being used in a diesel engine.…”

"Experimental Analysis on Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix With Boron Carbide, Graphite and Fly Ash Chemical Composites "

“…The results showed that the effect of graphite on the hardness becomes less significant with the content of rice husk ash greater than 50% but it was noticed that the wear resistance was decreased when the graphite content increases from 0.5 to 1.5 wt%. [1][2][3] In the earlier research articles, it was concluded that the addition of up to 15% fly ash increases the tensile strength of the composite. But with the further addition of fly ash leads to decreases the tensile strength.…”

Experimental Analysis on Nanolubricants Used in Multi Cylinder Petrol Engine With Copper Oxide as Nanoparticle

“…Existing and future automotive engines would require more efficient engine oils, a situation that presents a new challenge for researchers and designers of finding ways of enhancing the tribological characteristics of internal combustion engines while achieving a reduction in fuel and lube oil consumption. [1][2][3] The power losses in automotive engines vary between 17% and 19% of the total energy generated. An improvement in the tribological performance of the lubricating oils and the piston ring assembly leads to an improved efficiency and fuel economy of engines because the friction between the piston ring and the liner accounts for almost 40% to 50% of the power losses.…”
