Abstract

This study extensively focuses on analyzing the fretting wear characteristics of Aluminum-based hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) under dry conditions, essential in understanding materials' tribological properties in mining environments. Aluminum-based MMCs offer improved wear resistance and durability, potentially enhancing mining equipment performance. The investigation targeted Aluminum 7075 alloy-based MMCs, comprising 7% fine greenish Silicon Carbide and 3% chopped E-glass fibers (2-3mm length, 10-14 micrometer diameters). Using traditional stir casting and Friction Stir Welding (FSW) techniques, composite plates meeting ASTM standards were fabricated. FSW parameters like rotation speed and tool feed rate were varied.Analyzing fretting wear on the welded zone, employing different loads through Linear Reciprocating Tribometer (LRT), provided insights into the tribological performance of these Aluminum-based hybrid MMCs. The lightweight and exceptional thermal properties of Aluminum have significantly expanded its use across various industries, enabling partial replacement of ferrous materials, especially in MMCs where Aluminum alloys offer distinct advantages over other materials.This research aids in determining the suitability of these MMCs for demanding mining conditions, where materials endure extreme stress. Understanding their tribological behavior is crucial for potential applications in mining equipment, contributing to longevity and improved performance.
