Abstract

Dry sliding wear behaviour of Al–Si A413 alloy with and without intermetallics has been studied at ambient and elevated temperatures. It is observed that as the temperature is increased, the wear rate decreased. The reduction in wear rate is mainly attributed to the formation of glazing layers at elevated temperature and is observed in both A413 alloy with and without intermetallics. The wear due to oxidation is predominant during high temperature sliding.
