摘要

Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) have been widely adopted due to their outstanding properties, including lightweight, high strength, good wear resistance, and high thermal conductivity. The purpose of this study is to understand the enhanced wear behavior of AA6082 matrix reinforced with 12 wt.% ZrC particles fabricated through stir-casting. The wear behavior of the synthesized composite was measured using a pin-on-disc device under dry sliding conditions. The Taguchi coupled grey relational approach (GRA) was used to analyze the effects of the parameters, such as applied load (P), sliding velocity (V), and sliding distance (D), on the wear rate (WR) and coefficient of friction (COF). An L9 orthogonal array was the best design for conducting the trials, given the parameter choices. The main effect graph clearly reveals that the least WR and COF were generated at 10 N of ‘P’, 3 m/s of ‘V’, and 1500 m of ‘D’. According to the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the ‘P’ was a key noteworthy factor in governing the output to the recommended composite. The confirmation tests were finally conducted using the optimal settings to authenticate the experimental results.
