Abstract |
|
The wear behavior of aluminum matrix composite with Ferro-titanium particles as reinforcement were investigated using a pin-on-disc wear rig under dry sliding conditions. The influence of wear parameters corresponding to applied load (N), sliding speed(S), sliding distance (L) and percentage of reinforcement (%R), on the wear loss were investigated. The specimens were prepared by stir casting technique with volume percentage 8% of Ferro-Titanium. Design of experiments (DOE) based on the Taguchi orthogonal array techniques, were performed to acquire data in controlled way. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were developed to investigate the influence of process parameters on the wear loss of composites. The results showed that the inclusion of Ferro-titanium reinforcements in aluminum matrix composite will increases the wear resistance of the composite significantly. The testing specimens are prepared according to the ASTM G99 standards. |
