Development, Characterization and Wear Response of Particulate Filled Metal Alloy Composites – A Review | Original Article

ABSTRACT

  Metal Alloy Composites Tribological applications, such as internal combustion engines, pistons, liners, clutches, pulleys, rockers, and pivots have been used. In each of these uses, though, a need for substantial changes in duty loads and wear resistance, prompting material researchers to build composites based on aluminum. Conventional aluminum-based component sites have only one type of reinforcement. The addition of hard dispersions, such as silicon carbide, alumina, titanium carbide, finishes, improves the hardness, strength and wear resistance of the components. However, these hard reinforcement component sites pose various problems when machining metal mold components. Furthermore, the addition of ceramic reinforcements will result in the deterioration of the thermal and electrical conductivity of the aluminum alloys, which will lead to limited applications.
