A comprehension review of dry sliding wear on aluminum matrix composites

Abstract

Aluminum matrix-based composites are primarily employed in industries from automobile to aircraft engineering for specific functions of various components. The particle reinforced composites are magnificent due to their high strength, good wear resistance, and lightweight excellence as well these materials show evidence of high temperature and high anti-corrosive properties. From production perspectives, most of the effort has been focused on manufacturing composites produced with powder metallurgy and casting processes. Aluminum-based composites possess high wear resistance in dry sliding contacts and capable of sustaining high-temperature applications in various automotive engine components where adhesive wear is a predominant issue. The aim of this research effort is to study the influence of wear parameters, including internal and external constraints of aluminum-based composites impact of wear behavior and explore the wear mechanism together with delamination, adhesive, abrasive, and fretting types of wear in dry sliding contact associated with aluminum-based composites have been reviewed. In the ground of prophecy, the particulate reinforced composites have optimized the process variables by many researchers using different software-based computing techniques are also explored in this study.
