| Description | Journal: Materials Research Express The topology of surface is essential for enhancing the tribological performance of material. In the present experimental investigation, the hybrid surface composite was fabricated by incorporating titanium diboride (TiB2) and pine needle ash (PNA) as reinforcement on the surface of aluminum alloy Al 1120 through friction stir process (FSP). The dry pine needle is an agro waste material, and contains the hard compounds like SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, and Fe2O3 as main constituents. The effect of doping of pine needle ash and TiB2 into fabricated aluminum alloy metal matrix surface composites reported in this paper. The FSP setup was developed on a vertical milling machine and process parameters were selected as tool rotational speed of 1400 rpm and tool feed rate of 56 mm/min. The microstructures of surface composites were examined through optical microscope. The mechanical properties and tribological behavior were evaluated by using microhardness tester, universal testing machine and pin on disk wear testing tribometer. It was observed that mechanical properties (micro hardness, tensile strength and impact strength) and wear resistance of surface composites improved as compared to matrix material (Al 1120). |
