Abstract
The present study's objective is to investigate the impact of adding solid lubricants (graphite, molybdenum disulfide, titanium dioxide) to SAE20-40 oil on the sliding wear performance of as-cast SiC dispersed aluminum alloy. Matrix alloy and conventionally used Gunmetal were also tested under identical conditions to understand the scope of latter material as a possible substitute in various engineering applications. The Taguchi's L27 orthogonal array is considered for conducting experiments through three input parameters, i.e., Test Materials, Test Environment, and Applied Load. Based on the results, the analyses are carried out using analysis of variance. From the main effects plot, the optimum condition is obtained LM13S10 composite under MoS2 lubrication at 50 N load.
