Effect of static and dynamic ageing on wear and friction behavior of aluminum 6082 alloy

• In the present investigation the effect of static and dynamic ageing on the wear and friction behavior of aluminum alloy (AA 6082) sliding against tool steel (TS) surface has been studied. The AA 6082 alloy samples used in the present study were in as-cast, solutionized and peak aged conditions. Scanning electron microscope analysis of the debris and worn surfaces revealed the role of precipitates on the dry sliding wear behavior. Frictional behavior varies significantly for all the conditions at elevated temperature (180 °C) compared to room temperature (40 °C). Such response was attributed to the dynamic precipitations during elevated temperature test.
