چکیده
The experimental investigation of hybrid metal matrix composites with fly ash and graphite reinforced aluminium alloy (Al 6061) composites samples, processed by stir casting route are reported. The aluminium alloy was reinforced with 3 wt.%, 6 wt.%, 9 wt.% fly ash and fixed 3 wt.% of graphite to mixture the hybrid composite. Hardness of the hybrid composite were tested it was found that when the hardness of the hybrid composites can be increased when compared to (Al 6061). The parameters such as load, sliding speed, and reinforcement content were identified will affecting wear rate. The design of experiments (DOE) approach using taguchi method was employed to analyze the wear behavior of hybrid composites. Signal-to-noise ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to investigate the influence of parameters on the wear rate. Key wordsAluminium Alloy, ANOVA, DOE, Graphite
