“…Mondal et al [46] stated that with the reinforcement particles addition, composites sticking tendency with the counterface is reduced and resulted in improved wear resistance of the composites when compared with the base alloy. Similar behaviour has been observed in different studies where the reduction in wear loss was reported with the reinforcement particles addition [15,19,20].…”

“…The coefficient of friction (COF) also been decreased by 51% in the case of hybrid composites. Subramaniam et al [15] examined the wear performance of boron carbide (B 4 C), and coconut shell fly ash (CSFA) reinforced Al7075 composites fabricated by a stir casting technique and concluded that wear resistance enhanced by the incorporation of hard ceramic reinforcements like B 4 C along with CSFA. Manikandan and Arjunan [16] evaluated the influence of cow dung ash (CDA) and B 4 C on mechanical and tribological properties of aluminium matrix hybrid composites.…”

The present investigation intends to study the tribological behaviour of ZA-27 alloy reinforced with low-cost eggshell ash (ESA) and boron carbide (B 4 C) particles by utilizing a stir casting process to fabricate hybrid metal matrix composites. The percentage of ESA and B 4 C particles are added in the range of 0-5 wt.%. Composites being tested for density, porosity and microhardness. A pin-on-disc DUCOM tribometer used to investigate the friction and wear behaviour of composites with a varying load of 10 to 50 N at a constant sliding speed of 1 m s −1 and a fixed sliding distance of 1500 meter. To study the influence of speed on friction and wear behaviour, tribological testing was also performed at a sliding speed of 2 m s −1 and 3 m s −1 . The composites microstructure revealed the presence of ESA and B 4 C particles examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirmed the elemental composition of reinforcement particles present in the matrix. Composites density decreased when reinforced with ESA and B 4 C particles and the maximum decrease in density was about 3.12%. Porosity of the composites increased with the increase in wt.% of B 4 C particles. Addition of ESA and B 4 C particles significantly improved composites microhardness. The coefficient of friction (COF) and wear loss showed an increasing trend with the increase in load, whereas COF decreased and wear loss increased on higher sliding speeds. Composites showed superior wear resistance over base alloy under all test conditions. Worn surface morphology indicated the delamination, plastic deformation and ploughing at low speed, whereas abrasion was the dominant wear mechanism at higher sliding speeds. Therefore, this hybrid composite may have the potential to be used as a bearing material for tribological applications over monolithic ZA-27 alloy.

“…According to Archard's Law, increased hardness would decrease the composites' wear rate [69]. As both LG and hBN particles are ceramics with higher hardness and wear resistance than ADC, adding LG and hBN could increase the hardness and wear resistance [70]. As reported by Rasul et al [71], the reduction of wear rate could be because of the increased hardness of the ADC-LG-hBN composites due to the addition of LG and hBN particles and the outstanding wear resistance offered by hBN particles.…”

In recent years, there has been increased interest in hybridizing metal matrix composites using agro-based-waste materials as sustainable choices. Despite the poor tribo-mechanical properties of conventional reinforcement materials, there is immense potential for using alternate reinforcing elements to enhance the mechanical features of matrix composite. In addition, conventional casting procedures present several challenges, including high costs and a lack of adequate mechanical qualities in the finished product. To combat these issues, the authors herein produce the well-known aluminium matrix composite (AMC), ADC 12 alloy, using waste Malabar lemon grass (MLG) ash at a fixed rate (6 wt%) and hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) at variable proportions (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6 wt%) as reinforcing element against traditional reinforcement particles to enhance the tribo-mechanical properties of casted hybrid AMC. In addition, the squeeze casting method produces the hybrid AMC, dramatically decreasing production costs and enhancing final product qualities. The hybrid AMC formed by squeeze casting is examined for its mechanical, corrosion, and tribological characteristics, with the findings indicating that the addition of MLG and hBN improved the mechanical, corrosion, and tribological properties of the ADC-MLG-hBN composites, with 6wt% MLG and 4.5wt% hBN reinforcements producing the optimal result. The experimental density of ADC-MLG- hBN composites was reduced by 8% when compared to the ADC 12 alloy, while the composites' tensile, hardness, and compressive strength were increased by 118.9%, 36.7%, and 33.6%, respectively. Similarly, the developed composite showed an improved corrosion resistance of 43.8% for 24 hours, and the wear rate decreased by 90.4%.

“…For this variant, however, the highest fluctuations in COF were observed, which was explained by the interactions of hard particles with disc material, which also corresponds to superior wear resistance properties. Coconut shell ash (3 wt % in an aluminum matrix) was also investigated by Subramaniam et al, but in this case, the additional modifier was boron carbide (B 4 C) (0–12 wt %) [ 51 ]. The authors showed that the B 4 C and coconut shell ash additives significantly improved the antiwear properties compared to the neat matrix and alloy-coconut shell ash composite.…”

Waste management is still one of the leading global challenges in the 21st century. From the European Union’s point of view, the Waste Framework Directive obliges businesses and households to recycle at least 55% of their municipal waste by 2025 and to reach 65% in 2035. Hence there is a great need to seek new solutions for the reuse of various waste materials. One of the most widely used wastes is their utilization as fillers or reinforcements in the metal- or polymer-based composites. The reuse of wastes for the production of tribological materials gives not only environmental benefits related to the transformation of waste into raw materials but also may improve the mechanical and tribological properties of such materials. Moreover, the use of waste reduces the production costs resulting from the lower price of filler materials and longer service life of developed products. The purpose of the current review is, therefore, aimed at the evaluation of the reuse of agricultural, industrial and postconsumer wastes as reinforcements in the composites used for tribological applications. The tribological performance (wear rate, coefficient of friction) of both monolithic and hybrid composites reinforced with waste materials was a particular subject of interest in this review.
