Micro-Structural Evolution Analysis and Assessment of Tribological Behaviour 425 of Nickel Alloy Reinforced with Sio2 and Al2o3 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMCs) enhances the main properties like wear resistance and good microstructure, as well as it saves weight. Reinforced hybrid metal matrix composites attract because it enhances wear resistance properties. Many researches are going on in material science field to strengthen the wear resistance properties of the materials and improve the quality of the material. The present research work carried out to fabricate the SiO2 and Al2O3 reinforced Nickel based alloy. Reinforcement is added in matrix with 9% in weight SiO2 (Constant) and range 3% to 12% in weight Al2O3 in steps of 3% in weight. Induction furnace is used to melt the composites; the composites are machined and tested after casting. Evaluation of microstructure, wear resistance of hybrid metal matrix (Monel M-35-1+SiO2+ Al2O3 ) is done and analyzed. From results, it is clear that the SiO2 and Al2O3 added with Nickel alloy shows good microstructure and reduced wear properties of composites.
