Impacts of Zirconium Carbide Incorporated Magnesium Alloy Nanocomposite on Wear Properties
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 3 (2024) pp. 217-221
Abstract
In the study, zirconium carbide nanoparticle (ZrC-50 nm) incorporated magnesium alloy (AZ61) nanocomposite was prepared by liquid state stir cast process, and its wear properties were evaluated by different load (U), sliding speed (V), and sliding distance (W). The impacts on wear rate (WR) and coefficient of friction (COF) of AZ61 alloy nanocomposite were studied. With the support of a pin-on-disc wear tester, the dry sliding wear characteristics were measured. Moreover, to find the optimum process parameter on minimum WR and better COF characteristics, the L27 orthogonal array utilized U, V, and W as the input factors, and the WR & COF were treated as output responses. Based on the analysis, load was found to be the most dominant input factor that influences the WR and sliding distance was the factor for fixing the COF.
