Overview

Randomized trial evaluates tribological performance of aluminium composites with waste glass, suggesting enhanced durability.

Key Points

  • The aim is to synthesize and optimize aluminium matrix composites with waste borosilicate glass for improved tribological performance.
  • Synthesis of AA8011 aluminium matrix composites using stir casting with 0-15 wt.% borosilicate glass reinforcement.
  • Tribological tests conducted under varying loads and speeds to assess wear rate and friction.
  • Optimization performed using Taguchi L16 design and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA).
  • Wear is reduced by 30-35% with 5 wt.% borosilicate glass compared to the base alloy.
  • Optimal conditions: 5 wt.% reinforcement, 60 N load, 1.5 m/s sliding speed, and 2250 m sliding distance.
  • ANOVA results indicate applied load (56.56%) is the most influential on wear performance.
