Abstract
In the current scenario aluminium and their alloys are replaced by composite materials in the automotive field due to low corrosiveness, high strength and less weight. Need for improved wear behaviour performance has led to the design and selection of newer variants of the composite. This present paper investigates the study of wear behaviour of AA6061/Al2O3/SiC metal matrix composite (MMC) using squeeze casting method. Wear test has been carried out on a Pin on Disc apparatus. The effect of three levels and three process parameters such as load, sliding velocity and sliding distance were considered. Statistical analysis plays a significant role in analyzing aluminium matrix composites. Specifically, Taguchi techniques found to be efficient, systematic and simple relative to the optimization of wear test parameters. So that experimental study employed the Taguchi method. L9 orthogonal array was selected to carry out the experiment. Dry sliding wear rate has analyzed on “smaller the best” basis. ANOVA and regression equation carried out to understand the impact of individual factors and interactions on the wear rate as well as the coefficient of friction. Results show that load has the highest influence followed by sliding speed and sliding distance. Scanning Electron Microscope was done on wear surfaces.
