Hybrid composites – a better choice for high wear resistant materials

This investigation, studies the dry sliding wear behavior of aluminum (Al) matrix hybrid composites reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) and silicon carbide (SiC) particulates up to 8% (in equal proportions) fabricated by vortex method. Pin-on disk wear test was carried out for both unreinforced allo...
