Analysis of stir die cast Al–SiC composite brake drums based on coefficient of friction

Structure property correlation of al based beryl reinforced metal matrix composite

“…It can be observed that the wear rate decreases when the percentage of beryl is increased. The decrease in wear rate with increase in the percentage of beryl can be observed which is due to the presence of hard beryl particles adhered to the matrix [10,11].It can also be observed from the figures that, there is increase in the resistance to wear with increase in the percentage of beryl which is of prime importance in the wear resistant applications. With the increase in sliding distance, weight loss increases due to more amount of time in wearing [12,13].…”

Design analysys of disk brake using newly developed stir casted master alloy disk for improved cooling

“…If these thermal induced stresses exceed beyond a certain magnitude or they repeat many times, brake disc failure is expected. Proposed material of Aluminium matrix composite (Al MMC) is prepared by stir die casting which is a unique technique because of its simplicity and economy in processing [26]. Al MMC reinforced with varying percentage by weight of SiC is considered as potential candidate material due to its light weight and improved thermo mechanical properties for brake application.…”

Metal Matrix Composites for Automotive Applications

“…Using aluminium disks would be beneficial because they would be lightweight and have much better heat removal capabilities compared to cast iron drums and disks, but due to a very poor wear characteristic they are not suitable. Similar to cylinder liners, MMCs can greatly improve the wear characteristics of aluminium in brake applications [23].…”
