The Affect of Aging Process on Wear Properties of Al6061/GNP Metal Matrix Composite

In this study, affect of aging on wear characteristics the nano GNP reinforced Al6061 metal matrix composites. scope, samples were produced by hot press at 500 ℃ temperature under 50 MPa pressure for 30 minutes. The composites determined using ball-on disc test method. friction coefficient and ratio investigated. Graphene reinforcement significantly increased between stainless steel ball specimen but process lowered to a better level. Also artificially aged specimens showed significant increase in hardness values. Key factors are affecting mechanical performance Al based alloy is process.
