Study on Wear and Corrosion Behaviour of Aluminium Hybrid MMC

Nowadays, composite materials replace conventional material by virtue of their properties like high strength to weight ratio, improved wear resistance and corrosion resistance. In this work, the aluminium metal matrix composites were fabricated with help of stir casting process. Here, five samples of composites were fabricated with aluminium as matrix material and fly ash, bamboo ash and copper as reinforcements with different proportions, increasing from 1 to 5%. Wear and corrosion behaviour of fabricated composites were studied using sliding wear test and salt spray corrosion test. Morphological analysis was also done to study the internal structure of corrosion and wear tested samples.
