摘要:In this study, A2014 alloys were reinforced with varied percentage of Graphite by liquid metallurgy routeand tested for microstructure, mechanical properties and wear behaviour. The wear tests were conducted using Pin-on-Discapparatus at a constant sliding velocity of 1m/s and wear load of 30 N. Microstructure revealed uniform distribution ofreinforcement in the matrix resulting in improved mechanical properties and wear resistance compared to un-reinforcedmaterial. This improvement in mechanical properties and wear resistance may be attributed to improved bonding ofreinforcement in the matrix.
