Abstract

The newly engineered metal matrix hybrid nanocomposites Al6061-Al2O3-Gr were fabricated by ultrasonic cavitation method. The pin-on-disc equipment under dry sliding conditions was used to determine the wear characteristics of prepared hybrid nanocomposites. The worn surface of hybrid nanocomposite Al-Al2O3-Gr has been characterized by SEM. The investigation shows that Al-1.2Al2O3-0.5 Gr hybrid nano-composites have improved wear resistance, least co-efficient of friction, best surface smoothness than the Al6061 matrix alloy. The AFM image of Al-1.2Al2O3-0.5 Gr hybrid nanocomposite confirms the improvement in the wear surface smoothness of the hybrid nanocomposite compared to Al6061 matrix alloy.
