Synthesis and Thermal Adsorption Characteristics of Silver-Based Hybrid Nanocomposites for Automotive Friction Material Application

Advances in friction materials are imposed on developing multiceramic reinforced hybrid nanocomposites with superior tribomechanical properties. The silver-based matrix metals gained significance various applications like bearing, ratchet, and electrical contacts due to their high frictional resistance good thermal chemical stability compared traditional metals. present research is develop containing alumina (Al2O3) silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles of 50 nm mixing the ratio 0 wt% Al2O3/0 SiC, 5 Al2O3/5 SiC via semisolid vacuum stir-cast technique. technology minimizes casting defects increases composite casted samples subjected study effect reinforcement adsorption, conductivity, diffusivity, resistance. Al2O3np/5 SiCnp find optimum behaviour. adsorption increased by 30% 27% unreinforced cast silver. Ag/5 nanocomposite recommended for automotive friction-bearing applications.
