Description:
Al7075 based hybrid metal matrix composite reinforced with tungsten carbide and E glass fiber particles were fabricated by liquid metallurgy. The developed hybrid composites were subjected microstructure studies, hardness and dry friction and wear tests. Pin-on-disc setup was utilized to perform friction and wear tests over a load range of 20-100N and sliding speeds of 0.314-1.57m/s. Micro-structure affirms uniform scattering of reinforced particles. Hybrid composites show higher hardness, enhanced friction and wear characteristics in the presence of E Glass fiber and tungsten carbide particles when evaluated with the unreinforced alloy.
