Abstract:The present study reflects on the wear behaviour characteristics of A356 composite with trace addition of copper and copper-coated zinc as reinforcements. Dry sliding wear tests were conducted on fabricated as-cast and heat treated composites by varying load of 20-60 N under constant sliding speed of 1 m/s and sliding distance of 3000 m. Results confirmed that copper-coated zinc was successfully introduced as reinforcement into A356 matrix using two-step casting method. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image… Show more
