Tribological characterization of SiC/Co Hybrid Reinforced 6061 Aluminum alloy composites

Abstract

-Vehicles and aviation applications require materials that have adjusted mechanical and tribological properties. It is truly challenging to accomplish these altered properties in any mono-lithic material. Aluminum compounds are the most taken advantage of materials in different fields of applications including Automobiles and aviation because of a portion of its fundamental properties. The Al 6061 alloy has been used as matrix material while % wt of cobalt is fixed at 3% while silicon carbide altered from 0% to 3% has been used as reinforcement materials. The center target to examine the impact of air erosion conditions on wear pace of devel-oped MMCs of SiC and Co powder filled Al 6061 Composites. In the current work, the alu-minium based metal framework composites have been manufactured. It was uncovered that MMC with 3%wt of SiC 3% wt of Co showed brilliant mechanical properties among the all manufactured metal framework composites.
