摘要
Aluminum alloy (Al6061) is an eminent aerospace and automotive material, but its poor wear-resistance can be circumvented by friction stir process (ESP) via microstructural modification. Herein, carbonaceous particles (graphite, carbon nanotubes and graphene) are reinforced in order W assess their effect on mechanical and tribological properties of ESP Al6061. Raman spectroscopy has indicated the retention of damaged carbonaceous product in the stir zone due the intense plastic deformation and shear stresses involved in the ESP. Damage of carbonaceous particles was further confirmed from the transmission electron microscopy. Surface peak hardness was observed to increase (similar to 1.3 GPa) for graphene reinforced composite when compared to that of untreated Al6061 (similar to 0.5 GPa) due to grain refinement (50-100 nm). A substantial reduction in Hertzian-contact-diameter from 117 mu m in unprocessed Al6061 alloy to 103 mu m upon graphene reinforcement, has ensued least wear volume (0.03 x 10(-3) mm(3)) compared to that of untreated Al6061 alloy (similar to 0.1903 x 10(-3) mm(3)). Self-lubricating nature of carbonaceous material has indicated lower frictional force and dominance of gross-slip regime with graphene reinforcement in FSP Al6061 when compared to that of stick-slip wear damage in untreated Al6061.
