In general, Aluminium alloy components are light in weight and widely used in general engineering applications. But, they lack in good resistance to wear, particularly under poor, partial or boundary lubricated conditions. With solid lubricant particles dispersed in the matrix of Aluminium alloy, this material exhibits good potential for resistance to wear and consequently, becomes more suitable for tribological applications. Aluminum based Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) have become a very valuable addition to the field of newer materials for high performance tribological applications....
