Manufacture of silicon carbide reinforced aluminium 6061 metal matrix composites for enhanced sliding wear properties

Composite materials have the capability of being customised to provide specific mechanical and tribological properties. This paper presents the manufacture of a novel composite of Al6061 with 5% SiC (50 μm size) by the stir casting method. Experimental investigations of mechanical and tribological p...
