RESUMO
The present study is to investigate the influence of weight percentage of silicon carbide (SiC) (5,10 %, 15%) and particle size (10,20,40µm) of SiC and constant 2% of Molybdenum disulphide(MoS2)is reinforced with aluminium matrix. Wear performance of the composite was carried out through pin-on-disc method to calculate friction coefficient and wear resistance of the composites. The experiments were conducted by varying the sliding speed of (1.5,2.5 &3.5 m/s), loads (30,50&70N) with sliding distance ranges from (500, 1000& 1500m) under dry sliding conditions. Taguchi plan of experiments and ANOVA method was carried out to find the outcome of reinforcement ceramic particles, sliding distance, sliding speed, and applied load over the friction coefficient and wear rate. The result reveals that applied load and sliding distance are the most influencing factors for friction coefficient. Load and percentage of SiC indicates the most affecting factor for wear rate. Worn out surface of the composites were studied by optical microscopic image and Gwyddion software. To conclude, it was interfered that 15% weight percentage of SiC at 10µm offers better wear resistance and friction coefficient in AHMMCs.
