Wear and mechanical properties of Al-6%Cu-X%Mg alloy fabricated by powder metallurgy

It is projected to present the experimental results in wear and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys fabricated by powder metallurgy method. In this study, 6% of copper and the effect of magnesium (2%, 4% and 6%) in aluminium alloy were examined. From the results, the density and hardness values were decreased by increasing the magnesium. The abrasive wear test showed that the wear loss decreases when adding magnesium and increases with the increase in load and sliding distance. Optical microstructure shows that uniform distribution of elements.
