Abstract

The paper presents tribological behaviour of aluminium nanocomposite A356/SiC produced by the compocasting process with mechanical alloying preprocessing (ball milling). Tribological tests were performed on tribometer with block-on-disc contact geometry under lubricated sliding conditions. Influence of amount of silicon carbide reinforcement (0, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 wt.%) on wear rate was investigated in the following testing conditions: sliding speed of 0.25 and 1.0 m/s, normal load of 40 N and 100 N and at sliding distance of 1000 m. Analysis of worn surface of nanocomposites was performed by using SEM equipped with EDS.
