Effect of particle size on dry sliding wear behaviour of sillimanite reinforced aluminium matrix composites

Present work describes the development of Al-Si/sillimanite reinforced composites via stir casting route. Sillimanite is abundant mineral available in coastal regions of India and has not been explored much as reinforced mineral for the development of composites. In the present work, dry sliding wear behaviour of LM30 aluminium alloy reinforced with sillimanite has been investigated. Composites reinforced with sillimanite in different weight...
