| Description |
The abrasive wear rates of particulate composites of an Al-11.8Si-4Mg alloy containing up to 0.35 volume fraction of zircon particles (average size, 100 μm) were measured on an 80 grit aloxide cloth sheet as a function of the volume fraction of zircon, the applied load and the number of passes over the abrasive paper. When the volume fraction of zircon is above a critical value of 0.09, the abrasive wear resistance (reciprocal of the wear rate) increases with the volume fraction of zircon according to the rule of mixtures. When the volume fraction is fixed, the abrasive wear resistance increases with the number of passes possibly because of blunting of the alumina particles of the abrasive cloth. No improvement in the abrasive wear resistance of composites over the matrix alloy was observed when the volume fraction of zircon was below 0.09. Scanning electron microscopy studies of the abraded surfaces of composites revealed fractured zircon particles but no evidence of filler particle pull-outs or debonding at the interface was obtained.
