Wear Behavior of Al2O3-Reinforced Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite in Water and in Ethanol

Aluminum metal matrix composite disks reinforced with alumina (Al2O3) were slid against silicon carbide (SiC) pins in water and in ethanol to evaluate the wear resistance. The wear of the composite slid against SiC in water was higher than that in ethanol. Oxidized aluminum compounds were formed by...
