Evaluation of Wear Properties of Flyash and C-Glass Reinforced Al4046 Hybrid MMC

Abstract

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are engineered materials designed by a combination of a particulate or fibre reinforced in a metal or alloy matrix. This research work is concerned about the production of Fly ash, C-glass reinforced hybrid Aluminium 4046 metal matrix composites and further to investigate on the wear properties of the processed composites. Aluminium4046-Flyash-C-glass metal matrix composites have been processed for this study. In this work, the experimental study began with mixing of Aluminium powder, Fly ash particulates and C-glass fibers using a Stir casting technique at different weight fraction addition of Fly ash(2%,4%,6%) and Cglass(1%,3%,5%,7%).After production, the machining of the hybrid metal matrix composites is carried out as per ASTM standards. The wear rate is calculated using Pin on disc test machine. This experiment result show that best wear resistant combination is at 6% of Fly ash and 7% of C-glass is used
