Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the wear behavior of novel AA5083-cadmium alloy was investigated by varying the weight percentage of cadmium (0, 2.5, 5), sliding velocity (1 m/s, 1.5 m/s, 2 m/s) and applied load (10 N, 20 N, 30 N) and their corresponding wear losses were measured through stir casting process. The results show that the increase in the percentage of addition of cadmium decreases the wear loss and the maximum wear resistant is observed for AA5083-5% cd alloy. The worn surface textures were investigated by surface roughness test and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that increasing percentage of addition of cadmium diminishes the surface roughness.
