The metal matrix composites combine the metallic properties of a tough and ductile matrix
with properties of reinforcement particles, simultaneously develop the functional properties …

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys provide a desirable mixture of characteristics, including
minimal density and an excellent strength/weight ratio. Nevertheless, these materials have …

Poor tribological properties restrict structural applications of aluminum alloys and surface
composites of aluminum alloys have gained more attention in material processing. The …

Dry sliding wear behaviour of friction stir processed (FSP) AZ31 and AZ31/ZrC particles (5,
10, and 15 vol%) reinforced surface composite was investigated at different sliding speeds …

Rubber filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) oriented along a specific direction exhibits
excellent tribological performance owing to the unique directional structure of the CNTs, and …

Abstract Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMC) are fabricated through the stir casting route is
more beneficial in comparison with other techniques since the methodology is inexpensive …

Wear behavior of friction stir alloyed (FSAed) AZ31-Mg with externally added Al has been
investigated. The phase distribution pattern in the case of 6% Al alloying was best with …

Nanomaterials as reinforcement to enhance the properties of the composite and extend its
potential applications have always shown great interest. As 1D materials, aligned carbon …

Plasma nitriding (PN) coupled with physical vapor deposition (PVD) has emerged as one of
the promising surface treatments to achieve an elevation in the tribological, oxidation …

This study elaborates about wear analysis of developed B4C/AZ91D-Mg metal matrix
composites (MMCs) by a vacuum-based stir casting process having 2, 4 and 6 wt.% of B4C …
