Abstract
The present work dealt with an investigation on tribological behavior of AA5754 matrix reinforced with 10 wt% SiC particles composite by using a pin on disc machine. Sliding tests were conducted under dry and oil lubricated conditions against hardened DIN 100Cr6/EN31 steel counter surface. Wear rates of the matrix alloy and the metal matrix composite (MMC) were measured over load of 100 N under a speed of 4.71 m/s. Detailed scanning electron, optical microscopy analyses were undertaken to clarify the effect of SiC particles on tribological behavior. SiC reinforced AA5754 alloy exhibited lower wear rate than unreinforced alloy.
