Wear and Friction Behaviour of Tial Mmc with Sic Reinforcement

Abstract
The project essentially aims at investigating the wear and friction properties of TiAl Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) with SiC reinforcement over different loading conditions. The stoichiometric ratio has been maintained by adding SiC in varying percentages of 5%, 7%, 9% and 12% on the Ti-Al base metal. As outlined in ASTM standards G99, the Pin on Disk test is used to understand the behavior of composite material where EN31 steel is used as a counter body. For testing, Polished specimens were prepared in accordance with ASTM E18. In line with this, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis also helps to see microstructural features of SiC inside TiAl matrix along with its interaction. Also Rockwell hardness testing was used to determine the hardness characteristics of the material that gives vital data regarding its rigidity against penetration and deformation. Hence it is a better approach that aids in a detailed understanding of the TiAl MMC's mechanical performance under varying SiC reinforcement percentages, explaining its suitability for various engineering applications.
