Wear Study of Mg-SiCp Reinforcement Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite

Lightweight aluminium metal matrix composite materials hold potential requisite for modern tribological applications due to its inherent and better wear resistant properties over monolithic metallic materials. This study emphasised on the development of Al based metal matrix composite with SiCp as a...
