Fabrication, Experimental Investigation and Prediction of Wear Behavior of Open-Cell AlSi10Mg-SiC Composite Materials

This research investigates the tribological behavior of advanced open-cell porous AlSi10Mg-SiC composites fabricated using novel replication method NaCl space holders. These composite materials have potential applications in lightweight and high-strength structures that require high resistance to friction wear. The were tested a pin-on-disk under dry sliding-friction conditions at ambient temperature, with sliding velocity 1.0 m?s?1 an applied load 50 N. resulting wear parameters, including coefficient (COF) mass wear, provided quantitative measures behavior. Microstructural observations worn surfaces carried out scanning-electron microscopy (SEM) study mechanisms, elemental analysis was performed X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) examine composition. results showed had lower COF than AlSi10Mg material same experimental conditions. Three different machine learning (ML) models employed predict composites, their performances evaluated R2, MSE, RMSE, MAE metrics on validation test sets.
