In the automotive industry, mechanical grinding is employed at finishing line rectification to remove defects left over from upstream, which may also result in microstructure modification within near-surface region of work piece and, consequently, affects its corrosion performance. The present investigates influence on and behaviour Al–Si–Mg (A356) alloy castings order advance understanding pot...

The comparative analysis of the two hybrid composites, obtained by compocasting process, based on A356 and ZA-27 alloys reinforced with 10 wt. % SiC 0, 1 3 graphite (Gr) is presented. Optimisation their tribological behaviour was performed Taguchi method artificial neural network (ANN). Tribological tests were a block-on-disk tribometer, at three sliding speeds, normal loads distance 600 m, w...
