摘要

Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) are materials with better qualities than traditional aluminum alloys. The creation of AMCs has inward a lot of attention because of the better properties of AMCs, which include increased strength, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance and a significant reduction in weight in compared to alloys. Due to these qualities, they have recently received strong interest for a number of possible applications in the engineering fields. Aluminium alloy 6351 (AA6351) is a widely used material around the globe for producing strong, lightweight items. In this inquiry, we considered the AA6351 as the base material, reinforced with 20 wt.% aluminium nitride (AlN) synthesized through stir casting process and used the Taguchi technique to evaluate the wear rate (WR) and coefficient of friction (COF) of these composites to optimize the process parameters. The load [A] of 3.30, 8.75, and 17.75 N, disc speed [B] of 6.35, 11.75, and 18.50 m/s, and sliding distance [C] of 575, 1775, and 2650 m are the parameters taken into consideration for this tribology investigation. The findings revealed that sliding speed and disc speed were the most important factors in achieving the lowest WR and COF.
