The importance of metal matrix composites (MMCs) and hybrid composites has been well recognized by the scientific community world over. MMCs acquire their unique properties which are not possessed by the constituent phases. Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) in particular have been recognized as potential candidate materials in applications where weight reduction is of paramount importance such as transportation in particular surface transport or air transportation sectors.Investigations have been carried out to produce as-cast and heat-treated aluminium alloy 6061 based hybrid composites...

This book presents the experimental analysis was conducted on Polyvinyl ester/Glass Fiber composite with Alumina (Al2O3), Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and Titanium oxide (TiO2) fillers. The wear loss is directly proportional to sliding velocity and load. Fillers filled composite materials are having high wear resistance and low specific wear rate. The hardness of filled composite was substantial compared to the hardness of unfilled composite. The increase in % of filler has enhanced the ultimate strength monotonously except for 12.5% of TiO2 filler in the polyvinyl ester/GF composites. The...
