Abstract

In an aluminium alloy, there are many inventions and researches that are introduced since 1954, when there are only 75 compositions are present, and by now, there are 530+ composites of aluminium. This explains how much we can explore aluminium with combinations of different alloys out of which 6061 aluminium alloy used for making automobile bodies. This experiment is to find the tribological behaviour of nickel (Ni), zirconium (Zr) particles reinforced with 6061 aluminium alloy. Composites are manufactured by a liquid metallurgical process known as stir casting. The alloy combinations constitute of 1. nickel (Ni)—0.5% and zirconium (Zr)—0.5%, 2. nickel (Ni)—0.5% and zirconium (Zr)—1% and 3. nickel (Ni)—0.5% and zirconium (Zr)—1.5% with 6061 aluminium alloy as a base metal. Above mentioned are three sample materials that are prepared by stir casting followed by annealing or heat treatment to improve the grain growth [1].
