Wear and Tensile Behaviour of Aluminium Matrix Hybrid Composites
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aluminium-based hybrid composites are well known for their great strength and wear resistance. In the aluminum matrix, the inclusion of reinforcements improves the strength and hardness. So, it is essential to study the tensile strength and wear behaviour of the developed samples. In this paper, aluminium-based hybrid composites are fabricated by incorporating graphite and Al2O3 in the aluminum base. The samples were prepared with varying reinforcement content and process constraints in a stir casting machine. The sliding behaviour was studied by measuring the wear rate by employing Taguchi analysis.
