Studies on tribological properties Of hybrid aluminium matrix Composites reinforced with fly ash And solid lubricants

Abstract

There is an ongoing need for developing high performance newlinematerials to meet the severe conditions of automotive aerospace and newlinemechanical systems which requires improved tribological properties newlineHowever achieving and maintaining low friction and wear have been very newlinedifficult in the past and still are the toughest problems encountered in the newlinefield of tribology Yet the efforts to explore novel metal matrix composite newlinematerials possessing favourable frictional and better wear resistance newlineproperties have never stopped As a result great strides have been made in newlinerecent years in the fabrication and diverse utilization of new metal matrix newlinecomposite materials that are capable of satisfying the multifunctional needs newlineof more advanced mechanical system newline newline
