Abstract
Being one of the lightweight material and easily available materials aluminium has a lot of applications in various fields of automobile, electronics, and aircraft. In this study, the tribological study of aluminium-based composite is being done for the wear characteristics. A comparison is being made for the wear study of the Al 6063-based composite with the base alloy. Stir casting is used to form the composite. Microscopic images confirm the presence of Boron Carbide (B4C) and Graphite (Gr.) particles in the composite. Tribological experiments are being performed to check for the outcome of B4C and Gr.reinforcementparticles on the composite wear rate and SEM images of the worn surfaces depict that the insite presence of Gr. particles reduces the wear characteristics and improves the surface quality forthe worn composite as compared to the base alloy.
