The deleterious innate attribute of Ti6Al4V, the workhorse material among the alloy series of
titanium is its incompetent tribo-behavior. Infinite surface modification techniques, viz., the …

The dry sliding wear performance of discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) as
investigated by numerous studies during the last two decades is reviewed and discussed. In …

Moving mechanical interfaces are commonly lubricated and separated by a combination of
fluid films and solid 'tribofilms', which together ensure easy slippage and long wear life. The …

The effects of microstructure (namely, particulate volume fraction and particulate size) and
the counterface materials on the dry-sliding wear resistance of the aluminum matrix …

Pure copper and its composites reinforced with SiC particles were prepared by hot isostatic
pressing (HIP) process. The tribological behaviour of copper and composites was studied on …

The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper understanding of the wear behaviour of Al
SiC particulate composites through a detailed examination of the subsurface regions …

This study deals with the processing, microstructure, mechanical properties, electrical
conductivity and wear behavior of high volume titanium carbide reinforced copper matrix …

The author reviews selected experimental results which have contributed to improved
understanding of sliding wear processes. The emphasis is on the chemical and structural …

Abstract Hybrid Cu-SiC composites have been highly considered in order to achieve a
combination of electrical and thermal properties along with high strength and wear …

Frictional sliding induces a distinct discontinuity in the microstructure between a subsurface
layer and the underlying bulk material, which strongly influences the tribological …
