Tribology Behaviour of Alumina Particles Reinforced Aluminium Matrix Composites and Brake Disc Materials

Aluminum Matrix Composites (AMCs) are well known for high strength to weight ratio, and high temperature applications. In the present study, wear behavior of alumina particles reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites (AMCs) and brake disc material has been investigated. AMCs used in this study contain 30%vol. alumina particles in Al alloys and was developed by squeeze casting. The wear rate was measured using a pin-on-disc type wear testing …
