Sliding wear, Al 6082, Brass, SiC reinforcementAbstract
This paper investigates comparing the sliding wear behaviour of Aluminium 6082 and Brass 247 metal matrix composites reinforcing Silicon carbide fabricated by stir casting method. In this paper comparing sliding wear performances on the Al 6082 and Brass 247 Metal matrix reinforcing silicon carbide by pin on disc method. Different loads, sliding speeds, constant load, constant sliding speed and varying wear rate. Three different specimens of Al 6082 and Brass 247 SiC MMCs have been conducted pin-on disc wear tester apparatus, wear rates are calculated. Al 6082/SiC used in brake pad system. Commercially available brake pads were used as the pin material. SEM used to characterize the Al 6082/SiC materials before the Wear test.
