Abstract

This study focuses on the fabrication of aluminum alloy 8011 with 8 % fly ash (FA) composite (AA8011-8 % FA), using the stir casting method. The dry sliding wear characteristics of the composite were investigated at various sliding parameters. A three-level central composite design experiment was developed using response surface methodology with various parameters such as load, time, and sliding velocity and varied in the range of 5 to 15 N, 5 to 15 min, and 1.5 to 4.5 m × s−1, respectively. Dry sliding wear tests were performed as per the experimental design using a pin-on disc at room temperature. The regression result obtained indicated that the developed model performed well in relating the wear process parameters and predicted the wear behavior of the composite. The surface plot showed that the wear rate increases with increase in load, time, and sliding velocity. Moreover, the surface morphology of the worn-out composite was examined using a scanning electron microscope.

Kurzfassung

Die diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegende Studie konzentriert sich auf die Herstellung der Aluminiumlegierung 8011 mit 8 % Flugasche (FA) als Kompositwerkstoff (AA8011-8 % FA) mittels des Rührgießverfahrens. Die Trockenverschleißcharakteristika des Komposites wurden für verschiedene Reibparameter untersucht. Hierzu wurde eine Versuchsanordnung für die dreilagigen Komposite entwickelt, in dem das Oberflächenantwortverfahren angewandt wurde, und zwar mit verschiedenen Parametern, wie die Belastung, die Zeit und die Reibgeschwindigkeit, die jeweils im Bereich von 5 bis 15 N, 5 bis 15 min und 1.5 bis 4.5 m × s−1 variiert wurden. Es wurden Trockenverschleißversuche mittels eines Stift-Scheibe-Experimentes bei Raumtemperatur durchgeführt. Die daraus gewonnenen Regressionsanalyseergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass das entwickelte Modell sich gut verhält, was die Relation des Verschleißprozessparameters und die Vorhersage des Verschleißverhaltens des Komposites anbetraf. Das Oberflächendiagramm zeigte, dass die Verschleißrate mit zunehmender Belastung, Zeit und Reibgeschwindigkeit ansteigt. Darüber hinaus wurde die Morphologie der jeweils reibbeanspruchten Oberfläche mittels Rasterelektronenmikroskopie untersucht.
