Wear and Friction Behavior of Stir Cast Al-TiB2 Metal Matrix Composites with Various Lubricants
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2016, Vol 38, Issue 4
Abstract
Al- TiB2 metal matrix composites are fabricated using stir cast method and its tribological characterization is done using three different lubricants. Tribological studies are performed in a multi-tribotester using block-on-roller configuration under 25-75 N loads and 400-600 rpm rotational speeds. Four different weight percentages of TiB2 are considered in this study. Comparison between dry condition and lubricated conditions is gleaned to differentiate wear and friction characteristics and SEM images are taken to fortify them. Lubricated conditions yield large reduction in wear and friction compared to dry condition.
