Abstract

MMC's are widely used in many industries like automobile, aerospace, transportation industries. This study evaluates influence of wear parameters like applied load, sliding speed, sliding distance, and temperature on dry sliding wear of Al 7072 alloy reinforced with alumina. The design of experiment was employed by using Taguchi method. Preparation of the specimens were done according ASTM standard. A Dry sliding wear test was conducted using pin-on disc machine. Microstructure analysis is done using SEM to know the presence and distribution of reinforcement. The signal to noise ratio and analysis of variance were done to evaluate wear behavior of Al 7072 reinforced with 0%wt, 3%wt, 6%wt and 9%wt of aluminum oxide.
