Abstract EN
Aluminium alloy-based metal matrix composites (AMMCs) have been by now established themselves as a suitable wear resistant material especially for sliding wear applications.
However, in actual practice engineering components usually encounter combination of wear types.
An attempt has been made in the present paper to highlight the effect of dispersing SiC in 2014 base alloy adopting the liquid metallurgy route on different wear modes like sliding, abrasion, erosion, and combinations of wear modes like cavitation erosion, erosion abrasion, sliding abrasion, and the results obtained compared with the base alloy.
It is found that there are a number of contributing factors for the resulting wear and all are not necessarily derogatory in nature.
The limits within which the AMMCs can exhibit superior performance over the base alloy have been discussed.
Worn surface and subsurface studies have been carried out to understand the mechanism of material removal and the role of the different contributing factors to material removal.
Wear mechanisms that have been prevalent have been suggested and the possibility of making wear resistant components from the MMCs is discussed based on the experimental results obtained.
