Theoretical and experimental study of Lev Palm and Nano Alumina addition on abrasive Wear Rate Using Semi-metallic-organic Functionally Graded Materials.
Abstract
This study presents the development of a modern semi-metal organic composite; functionally graded depending on nano alumina. During this research, the wear rate, the resistance of wear rate, and specific wear rate were all modified, using a natural lev palm in functionally graded materials and other additives. The nano alumina is the new technique used in this work to improve the resistance of wear. Lev Palm is the best natural fiber as alternate research used to modify the strength. Hence, lev palm has unique characteristics to be used as filler. In the laboratory, many formulations have been prepared with the percentage weight of lev palm, friction improves, nano alumina as abrasive materials, softener additive, and other lubricant solid materials. Powder metallurgy technique was used to manufacture the model including lev palm. A theoretical analysis using Buckingham Pi theory was developed in this work, for experimental study, A pin-on-disc under dry test was used to improve the wear rate, specific wear rate, and wear resistance depending on slide distance with a constant load of 10N and constant speed of 300 rpm. The results showed that the sample (S3) has the best mechanical properties such as wear rate, specific wear rate, and wear resistance.
