  Wear and Tribological Characteristics of Novel Metal Matrix Composites

  By M. Bala Theja, P. Ratna Raju, M. Madhu Shekar

  Abstract: The development of advanced metal matrix composites (MMCs) with enhanced tribological performance has become increasingly important due to the premature failure of critical engineering components operating under severe wear conditions in automotive, aerospace, marine, defense, and power generation systems. Conventional composites such as Copper–Alumina and Aluminium–Silicon Carbide have demonstrated improved mechanical and wear characteristics; however, their widespread application is often limited by issues including particle agglomeration, non-uniform reinforcement distribution, porosity …
