Abstract

Abstract: This study evaluates the wear resistance of composite consisting silicon carbide particulates reinforced aluminium matrix composite fabricated by stir casting. Different amount of silicon carbide (0, 3, 6 and 9%) with average grain size 20 µm homogeneously distributed throughout the aluminium matrix. X-Ray Diffraction pattern observed the uniformly mixing of particulate reinforced composites. Pin on Disc wear tests were done at different sliding velocity (1, 2, 3 and 4 m/s) constant load and sliding distance are 30 N and 2000 m respectively for all casted samples.
