Abstract
Abstract In the present study, AA7075/Al2O3 composites have been fabricated via liquid metallurgy process. AA7075 alloy and Al2O3 particles were taken as the base matrix and reinforcements, respectively. Then, contents of 3 and 6 wt. % of Al2O3 subdivisions were added into the AA7075 matrix. To improve wettability and distribution, reinforcement particles were pre-heated to a temperature of 550°C for each composite sample. A hardened EN32 steel disc as the counter face was used to evaluate the wear rate pin-on-disc. The results showed that the wear rate of the AA/Al2O3 composites was smaller than that of the monolithic AA7075 samples. Finally, the worn surfaces of samples were investigated by SEM.
期刊介绍:
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED MECHANICS AND ENGINEERING is an archival journal which aims to publish high quality original papers. These should encompass the best fundamental and applied science with an emphasis on their application to the highest engineering practice. The scope includes all aspects of science and engineering which have relevance to: biomechanics, elasticity, plasticity, vibrations, mechanics of structures, mechatronics, plates & shells, magnetohydrodynamics, rheology, thermodynamics, tribology, fluid dynamics.
