Description

Purpose - In the present work, thixoformed AlSi8Cu3Fe alloy was investigated for its tribological properties. The tribological analysis reveals good sliding wear behaviour for thixoformed alloy due to thixotropic microstructural character. The results are compared with sliding wear behaviour of conventional gravity cast alloy. This paper aims to discuss these subjects.
