Experimental Assessment and Statistical Argument of Al-Si/CSA/MoS2 Hybrid Composites for Mechanical and Tribological Characteristics
Abstract: To augment the mechanical and tribological properties of Al-Si matrix composites complement with molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) and coconut shell ash (CSA), a mixed experimental and Face-Centered Composite (FCC)strategy was employed. A liquid metallurgical method called stir casting was used to create hybrid composites with 5–15 wt.% CSA and 1–3 wt.% MoS₂. A FCC experimental design with thirty runs was used to thoroughly evaluate the materials. This design allowed for the …

A Review on Predicting Wear and Friction of PTFE Composites - Fillers to Machine Learning Models
Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites, a self-lubricating material with low friction, became an indispensable material in engineering applications where load carrying capacity and wear are crucial. The pure PTFE has poor mechanical strength and wear resistance which can be enhanced by the addition of fillers in appropriate volume fraction. The wear performance is dependent on various factors such as fillers, operating parameters, environmental conditions as well as manufacturing attributes. This makes the …

Wear Performance of Cylindrical Shaped Alumina Nanoparticles Filled Epoxy Composite
Abstract: Low cost high specific strength epoxy LY 556 and alumina nano filler is utilized in current research for developing a epoxy composite. A liquid dispersion method was adopted for fabricating epoxy alumina composite having 0.50 wt% of alumina reinforcement. For uniform and homogenous dispersion of reinforcement, ultra-sonification of 120 W is adopted. To study the effect of particle behavior, unfilled epoxy and 0.5 wt.% cylindrical alumina oxide filled epoxy composite …
