Wear behaviour ceramic reinforced aluminum-base particulate composites produced by powder metallurgy

In this work, SiC and Al203 ceramic particles by weight 1%, 5% and 10% were mited to aluminium powders. 140 different test samples were pressed and sintered from these mixtmes. Wear behaviour of these samples were investigated by using a falex type wear tester under varions loads. Wear results were evalnated according to type and amount of reinforcing particles. Results showed that were resistance of the composites wear increasing as the amount of reinforcing particles were increasing. Science Code : Key words : MMC, Wear Behaviour, Powder Metallurgy.
