This paper investigates the wear behavior of magnesium (Mg)-based metal–matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with silicon carbide and aluminium oxide particulates (SiCp) during dry sliding. Experiments were conducted using a pin-on-disc configuration against a hardened tool-steel counter face under load of 3kg, and with disc rpm 500, wear track diameter 60mm, time 5min..Two samples were tested on pin on disc wear and friction monitor. The results showed that an alloy similar to the commercially available composition of AZ61 reinforced with 3% SiC&1% Al2O3 exhibit superior wear resistance as compared to magnesium alloy AZ61 reinforced with 1% SiC&3%Al2O3.Fabrication of metal matrix composites were done using stirr casting technique. |
