However, interaction between filler content and sliding distance has statistical significance but do not have any physical significance [32][33][34], since error associated is more than percentage contribution of these interactions as evident from the ANOVA results.…”

This study evaluates the influence of independent parameters such as sliding velocity (A), normal load (B), filler content (C), and sliding distance (D) on wear performance of potassium-titanate-whiskers (PTW) reinforced epoxy composites using a statistical approach. The PTW were reinforced in epoxy resin to prepare whisker reinforced composites of different compositions using vacuum-assisted casting technique. Dry sliding wear tests were conducted using a standard pin on disc test setup following a well planned experimental schedule based on Taguchi’s orthogonal arrays. With the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) optimal combination of parameters to minimize the wear rate was determined. It was found that inclusion of PTW has greatly improved the wear resistance property of the composites. Normal load was found to be the most significant factor affecting the wear rate followed by (C), (D), and (A). Interaction effects of various control parameters were less significant on wear rate of composites.

“…The present analysis shows that three-body abrasive test parameters and their interactions have both statistical and physical significance (percentage contribution is greater than error) in the wear behaviour of TCE composites. But interaction between versus has statistical significance but do not have physical significance [50], since error associated is more than percentage contribution of these interactions, which is evident from the ANOVA results.…”

Various amounts of short fibers (glass and carbon) and particulate fillers like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicon carbide (SiC), and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) were systematically introduced into the thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TCE) matrix for reinforcement purpose. The mechanical properties such as storage modulus, loss modulus, and Tan by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and three-body abrasive wear performance on a dry sand rubber wheel abrasion tester have been investigated. For abrasive wear study, the experiments were planned according to 27 orthogonal array by considering three factors and three levels. The complex moduli for TCE hybrid composites were pushed to a higher level relative to the TCE filled PTFE composite. At lower temperatures (in the glassy region), the storage modulus increases with increase in wt.% of reinforcement (fiber + fillers) and the value is maximum for the composite with 40 wt.% reinforcement. The loss modulus and damping peaks were also found to be higher by the incorporation of SiC and Al 2 O 3 microfillers. The routine abrasive wear test results indicated that TCE filled PTFE composite exhibited better abrasion resistance. Improvements in the abrasion resistance, however, have not been achieved by short-fiber and particlaute filler reinforcements. From the Taguchi's experimental findings, optimal combination of control factors were obtained for minimum wear volume and also predictive correlations were proposed. Further, the worn surface morphology of the samples was discussed.

“…Radhika et al [44] applied Taguchi's method to generate an experimental plan, for finding the wear performance of the hybrid composites (Al-Si10Mg + alumina + graphite). This method significantly reduces the number of trials that are required to model the response function, compared with the full factorial design of experiments [45,46]. By applying this technique, possible interaction between the factors that influences the wear behavior was identified.…”

The aluminium matrix composites, particularly with hybrid reinforcements are the advanced materials that have been widely used as a substitute material in the transport sector, to manufacture lighter-weight and higher-performance components. As these components are often subjected to sliding wear under working conditions, therefore several of these applications require enhanced frictional and wear resistance. The purpose of the current review is therefore aimed at highlighting the focus of the current research scenario, in the field of tribological behaviour of aluminium based hybrid composites, to explore the materials for automotive applications. A significant experimental data has been reported in this area, and it has been revealed that the materials possessing high wear resistance are associated with formation of a stable tribolayer on the wear surface and the fine equiaxed wear debris. The operating variables such as applied load, sliding distance and sliding speed, temperature, wearing surface hardness, reinforcement contents and morphology have been found as critical parameters in relation to the wear regime, encountered by the material during operation. An attempt has been made to present and review the various aspects relevant to sliding wear behaviour of aluminium alloys and the hybrid composites, with different combinations of reinforcements. Further, it has been found that the cost and the weight of the aluminium matrix composites can be considerably controlled, by addition of hybrid reinforcements, without compromising the tribological properties.
