Abstract

Al-3.73Mg alloy was reinforced with a different ratio of SiC and Al2O3 particulate mixtures, and their corresponding wear properties were investigated by pin-on-disk method. The investigation revealed that the mass loss of the hybrid composite at different loads and sliding velocities reduced with the increase of the SiC volume. Only 6% particulate reinforcement in the Al-Mg matrix was enough to reduce the wear of the surface by one-fourth. The wear mechanism was also investigated by examining the worn surface with a scanning electron microscope.
