Abstract |
Performance of components subjected to relative motion is largely affected by tribological properties of the material. Over last few decades the interest of researchers has been shifted from conventional materials to metal matrix composite (MMC) as a material for components subjected to tribological applications. In the present work aluminium-silicon alloy (BS: LM6) was used as matrix and fly ash and silicon carbide (SiC) as reinforcements. The metal matrix composite was produced using stir casting. An attempt has been made to study the influence of operating parameters like applied load, sliding distance and temperature on dry sliding wear of aluminium alloy reinforced with different percentage of SiC particulate and fly ash is kept as constant 5% by weight. Experiments were designed based on taguchi technique. Based on ANOVA, load and sliding distance were found to have highest influence on the sliding wear of the specimens. Optimum values of parameters for which result is minimum mass loss were determined and confirmation test was conducted to verify the same. |
