“…Synthetic ceramic compounds such as SiO 2 [7], ZrO 2 [8], SiC [9], B 4 C [10], Al 2 O 3 [11], etc., as reinforcement have shown an excellent wear resistance of Alalloy matrix composites [12]- [14]. At the same time, natural minerals like rutile [15], garnet [16], zircon [17] etc. can reduce the human efforts by lowering the cost of manufacturing to achieve similar or even better tribological properties along with high corrosion resistance [18]- [22].…”
