Abstract
The addition of ceramic reinforcement to a metal matrix usually improves the wear resistance of metals. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the slurry erosion resistance of different types of aluminum matrix composites. The erosion tests were done using an apparatus developed in-house. Two volumetric concentrations of alumina particles were tested. The increase in concentration of particles from 20% to 45% by vol. did not improve the erosion resistance. Also, the effect of particle size was negligible in the range studied. The independence of the erosion wear with respect to these structural parameters can be explained by a protection effect brought about by the particles of the composites.
