Hardness and dry sliding wear behaviour of Al7050 hybrid composites produced by stir casting The current study aims to investigate at the tribological properties of Al7050 reinforced with TiO2 and BN particles utilising a pin-on-disc apparatus. By means of the stir-casting process, MMCs were fabricated with three different weight percentages of TiO2 particles: 1, 3, and 5%, as well as various weight percentages of h-BN particles: 2, 4, and 6%. The volumetric wear rates and coefficients of friction were continuously recorded under normal loads of 20-40 N, sliding speeds of 2-4 m/s and for sliding distances of 1000, 1500 and 2000 m. Microstructural analysis revealed that the TiO2 and BN particles were uniformly dispersed throughout the Al7050 matrix with minimal agglomeration. The experimental data reveals that the tensile strength and Vickers hardness of the cast hybrid composites gradually improved by increasing the weight percentages of the TiO2 and h-BN reinforcing particles. The worn micrographs reveal that abrasion and delamination are the dominant wear mechanisms in the case of the hybrid composites. The composite containing 6 wt.% h-BN particles had the lowest coefficient of friction and wear rate at a normal load of 40 N, sliding speed of 4 m/s and for the sliding distance of 2000 m when compared to other composites. On the other hand, the composites with 2 wt.% h-BN particles had the highest coefficient of friction and wear rate. The XRD analysis showed the generation of strong interfacial reactions, which contributed to the hardness of the hybrid composites.
