... showed significant improvement in the performance (Kar and Surekha, 2021 ; Kar and Surekha, 2019 ; KS et al., 2018). For instance, Samal et al. (2020) prepared a metal matrix composites reinforced with red mud in Al6082 and studied the dry sliding wear behavior. Results showed...

... Design/methodology/approach A metal matrix composite AA8090-WC-ZrC was fabricated using stir casting method and its tribological behavior was investigated. Totally, five composites viz. AA/Z, AA/W, AA/WZ (1:3), AA/WZ (1:1) & AA/WZ (3:1) were prepared. Micro hardness, tensile and wear study were...

... performance. Jiang et al. (2012) adapted the methods of numerical analysis and experiments to investigate the wear and stress-strain behaviors of metal matrix composites (MMCs). The comparative analysis reveals that the wear and stress-strain behaviors of the MMCs predicted by the numerical...

... was used as a matrix for producing metal matrix composites in compocasting process. Three different materials, in form of particles, were added to the matrix (Al₂O₃, SiC and graphite). Hardness and tribological properties (wear, friction and wear mechanism) of heat-treated (T6...

... of reinforcement. Practical implications Aluminium hybrid metal matrix composites showing ample success in improving strength and wear resistance by utilising the optimal process condition. Originality/value The results obtained by this method are useful in improving the dry sliding wear resistance...
