Assessment of Wear Resistance of Aluminium Alloy in Manufacturing Industry-A Review

Abstract

Abstract Aluminium alloy composites are attaining vast industrialized recognition in the area of aircraft, automobile, aerospace as a result of its improved mechanical characteristics in relating to stiffness; quality and impact load to weight proportion and better wear protection. They are widely used in automobile industry to manufacture various parts where wear resistance is serious like valve, water coolant, cylinder lining, fan blade, piston and rings etc. Stir casting technique is a liquid state method for the fabrication of composite materials. The part critical to these functional areas is the valves which are often fabricated by stir casting method. The wear parameters considered in the study of wear resistance include sliding speeds and applied loads.
