Improvement in tribological properties of Al6061-Sic

A 6061 Aluminium alloy with Silicon carbide as the reinforcing agent is implemented as composite constituent. The reinforcement content is diversified in terms of weight percentage. Further, the casted specimens are made to experience high strain through means of “Equal channel angular extrusion” wherein grain enhancement takes place leading to improvement in its tribological and mechanical characteristics with no alteration in the cross section. The extruded samples are tested for advancement in the properties and comparative analysis is conducted for better conclusion which inferred as improvement in the properties of the ECAPed specimen although casted AMC revealed considerable improvement, hence increasing its level of applicability to various domains.
