Abstract
A comparative study of thermal and wear behavior of squeeze cast A359 alloy and composites containing 5, 10 and 15 wt.% AlN and SiC particulates was investigated. It was pointed out that A359/AlN composites have a superior thermal conductivity as compared to A359 alloy or even to A359/SiC composites. Composites wear characteristics were achieved by pins-on-disk instrument over a load range of 20-60 N and a sliding speed of 2.75 m/s. Results showed that A359/AlN and A359/SiC composites exhibited higher wear resistance values compared to A359 alloy. Moreover, A359/AlN composites showed superior values of wear resistance than A359/SiC composites at relatively high loads. Friction coefficients and contact surface temperature for A359/AlN specimens decreased as AlN content increased, while they increased for A359/SiC. Investigations of worn surfaces revealed that A359/AlN composites were covered up by aluminum nitrides and iron oxides, which acted as smooth layers. However, A359/SiC composites were mainly covered only by iron oxides. The superior thermal conductivity and the significant wear resistance of the developed A359/AlN composites provided a high durable material suitable for industrial applications.
