Abstract
Aluminum is among the most preferred materials based on the desired properties. This investigation focused on to evaluate the wear rate of the AA6066 aluminium alloy composite by using pin-on-disc apparatus. The composites were created with three materials such as AA6066 alloy, high-speed steel, and copper which have a volume percentage variation of 92%, 5%, and 3%, respectively. These three parameters were considered for the experimental results of the wear rate such as load applied, sliding speed, and sliding distance. Experimental results of the composites were compared using an applied load of 20 N, a sliding velocity of 3.0 m/s and 1800 m of sliding distance with AAHSSCu reinforced composites offering a minimum wear rate. Similarly, using a 40 N applied load, the minimum wear rate is obtained. Further increasing the applied load to 60 N with 600 m of sliding distance provided a lower wear rate. The various graphical representations such as three-dimensional surface plots, contour plots, and bar charts were used for the experimental results. Wear rate consequences were expressed individually compared based on the considered parameters. Experimental results were having the reliability of nearly ninety-one percentage with only wear rate being focused. Finally, an optimized wear rate is obtained at the sliding distance of 1200 m with an applied load of 40 N and a spindle speed of 3 m/s.
Highlights
In recent days, composites have made major contributions in various regions of the world such as various industrial applications, different home appliance-based products, and different places of usage such as metal matrix composites, reinforcement composites, and fiber composites

E specimens were collected and cleaned manually, and the specimens were visually inspected. e damaged and cracked specimens were rejected, and the specimens with a clear surface and without defects were selected for the investigation [29,30,31]. en, the prepared composite specimen was named as AAHSS Cu based on the combinations of all the materials used in the composite. e pure AA6066 aluminium alloy specimen was mentioned as AA based on the material available on the composite. is flow of specimen preparation and testing is mentioned in Figure 1(a) as a flow chart. en, the composite material and the pure aluminium material were tested in the traditional wear testing method as pin-on-disc, as referred to by the various references with high accuracy [32]
Summary
Composites have made major contributions in various regions of the world such as various industrial applications, different home appliance-based products, and different places of usage such as metal matrix composites, reinforcement composites, and fiber composites. As well as any other industry, the wear rate properties are prepared in every material to increase their life and enhance the wear rate. Revankar et al [1] absolutely explained about the augmentation of the wear resistance property in the titanium alloy with the aluminium alloy by using the process of ball burnishing. Ey use ANOVA and ANOM methods for the result comparison with the three different parameters. Various SEM images and comparative images were used to explain the results. Guleryuz and Cimenoglu [2] described the modification of the surface for the wear resistance capacity with different experimental and result-orientated plots. Borgioli et al [3] completely explained the various improvement techniques based on the wear resistance through thermal oxidation in the Ti-6Al-4V. Shibe and Chawla [4] undoubtedly reviewed, with the help of different articles from different time periods, about the enhancement of the wear rate through the hard
