This work deals with the effect of Al2O3 particles on tribological and mechanical behavior of Al6082 metal matrix composites fabricated by powder metallurgy technique. Four different weight percentage (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of reinforcements were utilized and also the samples were sintered at four different sintering temperatures (420°C, 450°C, 480°C and 510°C). Various properties such as wear,
... [Show full abstract] hardness, porosity and density were investigated with variation of reinforcement content. Microstructural observations was made to study the particle distribution and porosity. The results obtained for density and porosity shows an increase in density of composite with increase in sintering temperature and also decrease in percentage of reinforcement but Porosity increased with decrease in sintering temperature and increase in reinforcement content. Rockwell hardness test results showed an increase in hardness value with wt.% of Al2O3 and with sintering temperature. Wear test was conducted by considering a constant speed of 100rpm and distance of 200m at three different loads of 9.81N, 14.72N and 19.62N
