Abstract
The tribological performance of Alumina and Molybdenum di Sulphide (MoS2) reinforced hybrid Aluminium matrix composites of are carried out in this study. Lubrication is needed mostly during the usage of metal-based alloys or composites to reduce friction. Aluminium composites with self-lubrication property play a major in that situation to have a better tribological performance. These hybrid Aluminium matrix composites can be manufactured by incorporating materials such as MolybdenumdiSulphide (MoS2). In this current research, constant weight fraction of alumina hybridized with various weight percentages of MoS2 and Aluminium matrix compositesare produced individually through stir casting process. The wear rate of the composites was evaluated through Pin on Disc apparatus considering the applied load, sliding distance and weight percentage of MoS2. L9 (OA) Taguchi’s approach is employed in experimenting were designed by to analyze using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response values. Result shows that 6 wt. % of alumina and MoS2 Aluminium alloy hybrid composites of possessed better tribological characteristics than all other composite configurations.
