Characterization Methodology of a Tribological Couple

Analysis of factors influencing dry sliding wear behaviour of Al/SiCp–brake pad tribosystem

“…Wear mechanisms are understood by conducting characterisation studies of wear surface and debris particles using XRD, SEM, EDX, etc. [11][12][13][14].…”

Microstructures and dry sliding wear properties of in situ (Al3Zr+ZrB2)/Al composites

“…In sliding against metals and abrasives, PRAMCs exhibited better wear resistance compared to the un-reinforced alloys. They have been widely used in pistons and cylinders in automotive applications, brake discs/drums in railway vehicles and other automobile parts [5][6][7][8]. PRAMCs were fabricated by ex situ synthesis, where particles were added to the melt as a powder (e.g.…”

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

“…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. This process involves a liquid state fabrication technique which requires the incorporation of reinforcing phase (discontinuous form) into a molten matrix metal (continuous form) to obtain a uniform distribution through stirring [27][28][29][30].…”
