Friction and wear behavior of Ni–P coated Si3N4 reinforced Al6061 composites

Preparation and characterization of bronze/SiCp composites produced via current activated sintering method

“…Therefore, the presence of smaller grains impede dislocation motion resulting in an increase in microhardness. Similar to our current study, coating of ceramic particles like SiC and/or soft reinforcements like Gr with copper has resulted in further improvement in hardness, as also observed by different researchers [9,18].…”

“…2a also reveals that the adhesion between SiC particles and bronze matrix is poor due to the presence of gaps and porosity between SiC and bronze matrix [8,12]. This may be attributed to poor wettability of uncoated SiC particles in bronze alloy [9,13]. In the case of the Ni-P coated SiC reinforced bronze composites, the distribution of nano SiC particles appear more homogeneous throughout matrix alloy when compared with uncoated SiC reinforced composites.…”

“…However, relatively poor physical and mechanical properties are obtained due to the existence of a large amount of residual porosity due to the non-wetting characteristics between metal matrix and ceramic particles [8]. Many researchers have reported that these problems can be minimized by providing a metallic coating on ceramic particles [9,10]. It is also reported that metallic coated ceramic particles reinforced composite exhibits superior mechanical and tribological properties when compared with uncoated ones [9].…”

It is aimed to produce the bronze matrix reinforced with Ni coated nano SiC particles for improving load-bearing capability and propose a rapid and easy production method.…”

Structure Property Correlation of Al Based MMC Reinforced with Cu Coated Rice Husk Ash SiO2 Particles

“…The coating applied to reinforced particles in MMC do affect the microstructure and thereby its mechanical properties [6]. Ramesh et al [7] have reported the tribological behavior of Ni-P coated Si 3 N 4 reinforced Al6061 composites. Moustafa et al [8] have carried out a comparative study on tribological properties of uncoated and metallic coated graphite reinforced Cu composites.…”
