ABSTRACT

In this paper, the performance evaluation of Al-graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) composites surface engineered by a modifed friction stir processing (FSP) is reported. Here, multiple micro channels (MCRF) are used to incorporate GNPs in the aluminium matrix instead of a single large groove (SCRF) that is usually used in conventional FSP. With the MCRF approach,~18% higher peak temperature (compared to SCRF) was observed owing to the presence of aluminium sandwiched between consecutive microgrooves and higher heat accumulation in the stir zone. The MCRF approach have signifcantly reduced the coefcient of friction and wear rates of the processed composites by~14% and~57%, respectively as compared to the SCRF approach. The proposed reinforcement flling method signifcantly improves the particle dispersion in the matrix, which in turn changes the adhesion mode of wear in SCRF to abrasive mode in MCRF fabricated composites. The uniformly squeezed out GNP tribolayer prevented the direct metal to metal contact between composite and its counterpart which have efectively reduced the deterioration rates.
