Abstract
In this research an attempt is made to improve and to examine the wear behaviour of AL6061 composite with two different fillers such as graphite by adding the reinforcement particles of palm stalk ashes. AL6061 composite is developed on a metal matrix composite with the weight percentage of graphite (0.7 %) which is kept constant for all specimens and the reinforcement of palm stalk ash is varied as a percentage of weight (0.7%, 1.4%, 2.1%, 2.8% and 3.5%). Reinforced composites were preheated in the electrical furnace at 150°C for about an hour to remove the moisture. The reinforcement was added into molten aluminium into the stir casting furnace. The wear behaviour and corrosion rate of fabricated AL6061 metal composite reinforced with different dissipate materials were studied.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems (IJVSS) is a quarterly journal and is published by MechAero Foundation for Technical Research and Education Excellence (MAFTREE), based in Chennai, India. MAFTREE is engaged in promoting the advancement of technical research and education in the field of mechanical, aerospace, automotive and its related branches of engineering, science, and technology. IJVSS disseminates high quality original research and review papers, case studies, technical notes and book reviews. All published papers in this journal will have undergone rigorous peer review. IJVSS was founded in 2009. IJVSS is available in Print (ISSN 0975-3060) and Online (ISSN 0975-3540) versions. The prime focus of the IJVSS is given to the subjects of modelling, analysis, design, simulation, optimization and testing of structures and systems of the following: 1. Automotive vehicle including scooter, auto, car, motor sport and racing vehicles, 2. Truck, trailer and heavy vehicles for road transport, 3. Rail, bus, tram, emerging transit and hybrid vehicle, 4. Terrain vehicle, armoured vehicle, construction vehicle and Unmanned Ground Vehicle, 5. Aircraft, launch vehicle, missile, airship, spacecraft, space exploration vehicle, 6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Micro Aerial Vehicle, 7. Marine vehicle, ship and yachts and under water vehicles.
