dc.description.abstractIn the study, the effects of hybrid reinforcement (nano-alumina and MWCNT) and heat treatment on the wear behavior of the Al-4Cu nanocomposites were investigated under dry sliding condition against W-6Co ball by means of a ball-on-disk type tribometer. The load and the sliding speed were kept constant and selected to be 10 N and 0.1 m s(-1), respectively, in the course of the wear tests. Meanwhile, the wear tests were completed after a total sliding distance of 1500 m was reached for each case. During these tests, the wear loss of the nanocomposites was measured at every 250 m. The worn surfaces of the nanocomposites were examined with the help of stereo and scanning electron microscopes. The volumetric wear rates, wear coefficients and wear mechanisms were identified for the nanocomposites to clarify the influence of reinforcement content and heat treatment on their wear resistance. The volume loss at the wear distance of 1500 m was obtained as 24.9 and 8.2 mm(3) for the annealed and aged Al-4Cu alloy, respectively. On the other hand, it decreased to 4.6 and 3.2 mm(3) in the case of the nanocomposites with 15% hybrid reinforcement in the annealed and aged conditions, successively. Moreover, increasing the hybrid reinforcement amount decreased the wear loss of the aged nanocomposites substantially in such a way that it resulted in the mild wear.
