Abstract
The present investigation pertains to the slurry erosive wear response of Al-Si alloy reinforced with 10 and 15 wt% of SiC particle. The wear behaviour was examined by the sample rotation technique using slurry pot erosion tester. The effects of speed, slurry media and sand concentration on the slurry wear behaviour have been studied. To examine the influence of the SiC particle dispersion matrix alloy was also characterized under similar conditions. It was observed that the addition of SiC significantly improves the wear resistance of the matrix alloy in marine and mine environment and wear rate increases with sand volume content. However, slurry environment and speed has a mixed effect on the wear rate.
