The addition of 20vol.% of 3μm SiC particles to a 2124 Al-Cu-Mg alloy matrix can achieve appreciable improvements in fatigue strength, by 50%, and fretting wear behaviour against a 0.4% carbon steel, over sliding distances up to 80m. Over greater distances, the fretting performance is inferior to that of the matrix alloy. However, anodising of the composite, to a thickness of 10μm, gives more than...
Because particulate reinforced metal matrix composites cannot be welded without unacceptable disruption of local particle distribution and matrix microstructure, they are normally joined using mechanical fasteners or adhesives, and consequently they are susceptible to fretting wear and fretting fatigue. The fretting wear behaviour of a 2124 Al-Cu-Mg alloy reinforced with a uniform distribution of...
