Relevance. The fact that composites with a metal matrix and structural products based on them are in great demand in various industries, including the automotive industry, aerospace industry, and shipbuilding. Aluminum matrix composites are the most popular since they combine the excellent ductility, low density, good corrosion resistance of aluminum and the high strength, hardness and wear resistance of a ceramic reinforcing component. Aim. To obtain bulk Al-WC metal matrix composites with different contents of the reinforcing phase and with increased physical and mechanical characteristics using spark plasma sintering. Objects. Sintered bulk products made of pure aluminum and obtained at 400, 450, 500, 550, 600°C and bulk metal matrix composites Al-1%WC, Al-5%WC, Al-10%WC, Al-15%WC obtained at 600°C. Methods. Spark plasma sintering; X-ray diffractometry (XRD phase analysis); scanning electron microscopy; indentation (microhardness measurement). Results. The authors have obtained bulk composite metal matrix products with an aluminum matrix and tungsten carbide as a reinforcing component. Compacting mixtures of nanosized initial powders of aluminum and tungsten carbide using spark plasma sintering made it possible to obtain products with a WC content of 1 to 15 wt %. Taking into account the results of a preliminary series of experiments, when pure aluminum samples were sintered to determine the optimal sintering temperature, bulk composite materials were obtained. A distinctive feature of the obtained samples is their high degree of compaction, which is due to the simultaneous application of a heating current and external pressure, coupled with the relative preservation of the fine-grained structure of the material due to the short process time. The analysis of various sintering modes revealed the need to carry out sintering of composites at 600°C. The research has shown that, although adding a reinforcing phase to a metal matrix significantly reduces the degree of compaction of the material from 97.45% in the absence of an additive to 62.32% with the addition of 15%WC, an increase in the microhardness of products is observed when the concentration of the reinforcing component increases from 3.95 to 5.75 HV. This proves the possibility of reinforcing a metal material using ceramic WC particles. The results can be used in a variety of structural applications, including automotive and aerospace.

The increased demand for wear-resistant and low-weight components in the automobile industry has led to the utilization of aluminum metal matrix composite parts due to their improved performance. The current work focused on optimizing the tribological factors such as applied load, rotational speed, and percentage weight fraction of the reinforcing particles for minimum dry sliding wear rate of Al6061/nano-Al2O3/quartz hybrid composite fabricated by stir casting. The optimization is performed by using the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array experimental plan, and the result is analyzed by the help of analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result of the optimization reveals that the optimum levels of factors for the minimum wear rate are 10 N, 200 rpm, and 12.5%. Furthermore, the ANOVA result depicts that the applied load has the highest impact (87.83%) on the wear rate, followed by rotational speed (10.06%) and percentage weight fraction of the reinforcement (1.60%). The developed linear regression model reveals that the applied load and the rotational speed have a positive relation with the sliding wear rate. However, the percentage weight fraction of the reinforcement has a negative relation. The confirmation test proves that the predicted value of wear rate using the regression equation at optimum levels has a closer agreement with the experimental result having a 6.934% error. Furthermore, the physical property test reveals that the rise in the weight percentage of quartz particles results in a corresponding increase in the percentage porosity of the hybrid composite.

The utilization of TiB2 particle reinforcement in aluminium matrix composites, particularly with Al6063, has been explored in this study for its resilience to mechanical erosion, low oxidation rate, and excellent heat conductivity. The composite was produced using stir casting with 9 wt% TiB2. The investigation focuses on wear behaviour, examining three key process parameters such as load, sliding speed, and covering sliding distance across four settings to identify the optimal combination for achieving a favourable wear rate. Statistical analysis of variance reveals significant differences among the tested parameters. Conclusively, the study highlights the superiority of the grey-fuzzy approach over a simple grey relational grade in validating decision-making for wear performance attributes. The research identifies the ost significant grey relational grade and grey fuzzy grade values as 0.913 and 0.902, respectively. These values correspond to optimal operating conditions, specifically a 15 N load, a sliding speed of 15 m/s, and a sliding distance of 1200 m. The findings underscore the efficacy of the grey-fuzzy technique in authenticating decision-making processes related to wear performance characteristics, emphasizing its superiority over relying solely on a plain grey relational grade.
