The aerospace aluminium alloy AA7050 was reinforced with Al2O3 of average particle size 5 m in this study using the stir casting method. To eliminate surface imperfections, AA7050/Al2O3 composites with varied weight percentages (0, 2, 4, 6) were manufactured, and wear tests on composites were carried out utilizing a pin-on-disc apparatus that varied load, velocity, temperature, and weight %. The tensile and hardness tests were carried out at a high temperature. The inclusion of particles enhances wear resistance by establishing a mechanically mixed layer (MML), according to the findings. The wear resistance at 300°C was 100% higher in comparison with resistance at 150°C. Because of the Orowan strengthening and Hall–Petch effect, the tensile strength and hardness of composites enhanced. Temperature, tracked by the weight % of strengthening powders, was the most important factor that influences the wear resistance of the composites. The findings showed that the material properties of AA7050/4wt%Al2O3 at 150°C and AA7050/2wt%Al2O3 at 300°C are superior than base alloy.
Polymer nanocomposites are being used more widely in a variety of industries. As the compatibilizer, Elvaloy-AC-3427 (EAC) was used in addition to Cloisite 30B (C3B) as the reinforcement of filler in this research. For the production of Polyethylene/Cloisite 30B/Elvaloy AC-3427 nanomaterials, a twin-screw extruder is employed. Cloisite 30B was added to the Polyethylene matrix in the range of 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%. The mechanical and thermal characteristics of the compounds have been examined. Nanocomposites were tested for their tribological properties utilizing abrasive wear load, C3B, and sliding distance which were all taken into consideration while performing the abrasive wear evaluations. Specific wear rate (SWR), coefficient of friction (COF), and weight loss were the abrasive wear test’s output metrics (SWR). For the purpose of enhancing the abrasive wear characteristics, grey relational analysis and grey fuzzy were used. An ANOVA was carried out to examine the connection between input parameters and output variables. Finally, the Polyethylene/Cloisite 30B/Elvaloy AC-3427 nanocomposites abraded wear samples were evaluated microscopically.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the wear and micro hardness of a Ti-6Al-4V matrix reinforced with 10% and 15% tungsten carbide particle (WCp) composite manufactured using the squeeze casting process. Optical microscopy is used to determine the microstructures of the composite. A pin-on-disc wear test equipment and Vickers hardness at atmospheric temperature were used to examine the wear behaviour wear rate, CoF, and micro hardness qualities of primed samples. Loads of 10 N to 80 N, velocities of 4 m/s, and distances of 1000 m to 2000 m are considered for analyzing the wear behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V composites. The wear rate values are 25.683 for 10% WCp, 30.957 for 15% WCp, and 37.683 and 30.957 for 20% WCp. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is utilized to examine the worn surface of the composites. For 10% WCp, the CoF values are 0.82 and 0.87, and for 15% WC, 0.88 and 0.956. The micro hardness values are 692 VHN for 10% WCp and 835 VHN for 15% WCp. The wear rate, microstructure, SEM images, coefficient of friction, and hardness of TMCs for totaling reinforcing tungsten carbide particle (WCp) possessions were discovered to be improved.
