Wear Study On Al-B4C Composite Material

Abstract

There are various types of engineering materials used in both commercial as well as non-commercial applications, it becomes important to think about the life of the material, to prove about the economical aspect of the material. In order to increase the life, the conventional engineering materials fails in one or the other aspects. So the arrival of composite materials is important, which shows better mechanical properties than the regular engineering materials with lower weights. A study on the wear behaviour of a composite material (Al-B4C), under varying concentration of the reinforcement is made to understand the material usability under the cyclic operating conditions.
