Abstract:
تم في هذا البحث دراسة معدل البلى لاحدى سبائك الالمنيوم ((AA2024) (Al - Cu - Mg ومواد مركبة عن طريق تصنيع جهاز بلى ترددي تبعا للمقياس العالمي ( ASTM G133) ذو ترتيبة المسمار على المستوى (Pin on Flat) لمتغيرات مختلفة (الحمل المسلط , النسبة الوزنيه لدقائق كا | In this work the wear rate of one of aluminum alloys (Al - Cu - Mg) (AA 2024) and composite materials, has been studied by manufacturing a reciprocating wear device according to the International Standard (ASTM G 133 Pin on Flat) for different variables (applied load, weight percentage of (SiC) and sliding speed) under dry and wet (lubrication) conditions. Stir casting method has been used to prepare a composite material by using vortex technique to force the particles inside the molten metal (Al - alloy) and to distribute them regularly. The composite materials reinforced with different weight percentages of SiC (3, 6, 9, 12 wt%) are used. The base alloy and composite materials samples were tested to investigate the microstructure, and phases using optical microscope and Vickers hardness, wear rate, and the worn surfaces by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). From the results of microscopic examination it is found that the microstructure of alloy matrix was fine dendrites, in addition to the SiC particles that distributed near homogenously in the alloy matrix. The hardness test results showed that, the increasing of the weight percentage of (SiC) leads to increase the hardness, and the highest value of hardness was found at 12wt% SiC. Also the results showed that the wear rate increases with applied load for all weight percentage of reinforced particles (SiC).With increasing the load, more wear tracks, deep, and closed paths are formed and severe wear happens under dry condition but the lubrication case has less effect than dry case.It was shown that wear rate of both base alloy and composites under various conditions, increases with increasing of applied load and sliding speed but the wear rate decreases with increasing the SiC wt% in composite.Statistical method using software (Minitab 16) was used to study the effect of wear rate for both the base alloy and composite material by using three variables; applied load (X1), silicon carbide proportion (X2), sliding speed (X3), with five levels of each variable. It is concluded that the optimum weight loss under dry case was 0.0014g, The combined effect of variables and the wear rate was obtained and which variable are more influential, as shown in the equation below : D = 0.056703 - 0.002164 X2 - 0.000282 X3+ 0.000017 X1 X3 +0.000010X2 X3 While under lubrication case that the optimum weight loss was 0.0037g and the combined effect of variables and the wear rate was obtained and which variable are more influential, as shown in the equation below : L= 0.009607 + 0.002825 X1 - 0.002375 X2 + 0.001100 X3 + 0.001664 X3 2 + 0.004700 X1 X3 + 0.002700 X2 X3 The applied load (X1) and sliding speed (X3) have the largest effect on wear rate.
