The dry sliding wear behaviour of titanium (Grade 5) alloy has been investigated in order to highlight the mechanisms responsible for the poor wear resistance under different applied normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance conditions. Design of experimental technique, that is, response surface methodology (RSM), has been used to accomplish the objective of the experimental study. The experimental plan for three factors at three levels using face-centre central composite design (CCD) has been employed. The results indicated that the specific wear rate increases with an increase in the applied normal load and sliding speed. However, it decreases with an increase in the sliding distance and a decrease in the sliding speed. The worn surfaces of the titanium alloy specimens were analyzed with the help of scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The predicted result also shows the close agreement with the experimental results and hence the developed models could be used for prediction of wear behaviour satisfactorily.

This paper investigates the dry sliding wear behaviour of squeeze cast Al-Cu-Mg reinforced with nanographite metal matrix composites. The experimental study employed the Taguchi method. The Taguchi method plays a significant role in analyzing aluminium matrix composite sliding tribological behaviour. Specifically, this method was found to be efficient, systematic, and simple relative to the optimization of wear and friction test parameters such as load (10, 20, and 30), velocity (0.75, 1.5, and 2.25 m/s), and nanographite (1, 3, and 5 wt%). The optimization and results were compared with the artificial neural network. An orthogonal array L27 was employed for the experimental design. Analysis of variance was carried out to understand the impact of individual factors and interactions on the specific wear rate and the coefficient of friction. The wear mechanism, surface morphologies, and composition of the composites have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Results indicated that wt% addition of nanographite and increase of sliding speed led to a decrease in the coefficient of friction and wear rate of tested composites. Furthermore, individual parameter interactions revealed a smaller impact. The interactions involved wt% of nano-Gr and sliding speed, sliding speed and normal load, and wt% of nano-Gr and normal load. This inference was informed by the similarity between the results obtained ANN, ANOVA, and the experimental data.

The mechanical properties and dry sliding wear behaviour of glass fabric reinforced epoxy (G-E) composite with varying weight percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2) filler have been studied in the present work. The influence of sliding distance, velocity, and applied normal load on dry sliding wear behaviour has been considered using Taguchi's L9orthogonal array. Addition of SiO2increased the density, hardness, flexural, and impact strengths of G-E composite. Results of dry sliding wear tests showed increasing wear volume with increase in sliding distance, load, and sliding velocity for G-E and SiO2filled G-E composites. Taguchi's results indicate that the sliding distance played a significant role followed by applied load, sliding velocity, and SiO2loading. Scanning electron micrographs of the worn surfaces of composite samples at different test parameters show smooth surface, microploughing, and fine grooves under low load and velocity. However, severe damage of matrix with debonding and fiber breakage was seen at high load and velocity especially in unfilled G-E composite.

This paper investigates the dry sliding wear behaviour of AA6061/ZrB2/SiC hybrid composite prepared by the stir casting. A pin-on-disc wear apparatus was used for this study. The effect of ZrB2 and SiC particulate content and normal load on wear rate was analyzed. The insitu fabricated ZrB2 and the reinforced SiC particles enhance the wear resistance of the AA6061 composite. The worn surface analysis of the composite as a function of ZrB2 and SiC particulate content and normal load are also presented.
