Abstract

This study examines the differences occurring in A 356 alloy and A 356/5 wt.% Si CP composite during unidirectional sliding mode (USM) and reciprocating sliding mode (RSM) against 800 grit abrasive Si C medium at low parametric conditions, 5N and 0.2 m/s. Composite is prepared through liquid stir casting route. Sample pins are tested using an in house designed and patented pin on plate tribo meter and DUCOM pin on disc apparatus as per ASTM G99 standard. Brinell Hardness value of composite was 12% more than that of alloy. Prepared composite showed more wear resistant than the corresponding alloy at 5 N and 0.2 m/s. At low load conditions, reciprocating sliding showed higher wear than in unidirectional sliding for composites attributed to the severity of sliding in reciprocating. Unidirectional mode shows less oxidative wear than in reciprocating mode for composites. CoF observed was lower in reciprocating mode than in unidirectional mode for alloy and composite. EDAX analysis reveals more oxide wear is in RSM for alloys and composites under the low sliding conditions, 5 N, 0.2 m/s.
