Tribological Behaviour of Aluminium 6061 Reinforced with Graphite and Chicken Bone Ash by using Stir Casting

Abstract

Blending or supplementing metals with cutting-edge Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) endeavours to improve the safety, reliability weight and productivity. A hybrid MMC was produced for the chamber liner of cutting-edge diesel motors. Dry sliding wear testing equipment, employing a pin-on-disc wear tester, is used to examine the wear properties of casted hybrid metal matrix composites. The examination shows that the wear opposition of Al-6061 is expanded while adding the chicken bone ash and graphite as support content. Within the current work, effort has been made to survey the tribological properties of aluminium as-projected combination test for Al amalgam and unadulterated aluminium. The operational boundaries were a typical load and sliding velocity of the pin concerning rotating disk at temperature. The medium utilized was dry and wet greasing. The amount of mileage has been decreased altogether in aluminium alloy similar to unadulterated aluminium. Dry condition testing showed huge loads of noise and a similarly more measure of mileage for both aluminium and aluminium alloy. The coefficient of contact for aluminium alloy in wet conditions was roughly steady up to the applied load and then diminished with additional utilization of load while the coefficient of friction for unadulterated aluminium was rising persistently with the load. Evaluation of the corrosion conduct of the aluminium MMC is achieved by the usage of the salt spray method or immersion test and the results are considered.
