Wear Characteristics of B4C and Al2O3 Reinforced with Al 5083 Metal Matrix based Hybrid Composite

AbstractPresent work deals with the investigation of the wear behavior of Al 5083 composites synthesized by stir casting technique reinforced with constant weight percentage (5%) of Al2O3 and four different weight percentages of B4C (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%)were taken for investigation. Evaluation of wear properties with the different reinforcement has been obtained. Wear test carried out by the pin-on-disc method under dry conditions with the different load 10, 20N. The worn surface was investigated by the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The investigation reveals that the wear resistance has been improved by increasing weight percentage of B4C and Al2O3, the worn samples show a light adhesive wear traces at the same condition
