The present work, aims at investigating the wear properties of AA2024 alloy before and after introducing micro size Boron Carbide (B4C) particulates. B4C particulate reinforced AA2024 alloy metal matrix composites were prepared by stir casting method. Weight fraction of the reinforcement was varied 0 to 6 wt. % of B4C in steps of 3 wt. %. For each composite, during processing the reinforcement particles were pre-heated to a temperature of 400°C and then dispersed into the vortex of molten AA2024 alloy. The micostructural characterization was done using scanning electron microscope, which revealed uniform distribution of B4C particles in Al matrix. Pin-on-disc wear testing machine was used to evaluate the wear of prepared specimens, in which a hardened EN32 steel disc was used as the counter face. The results revealed that the wear in terms of height loss was increased with increase in normal load and sliding speed for all the conditions. Further, wear studies also suggest that wear resistance of the AA2024-3 & 6 wt. % B4C composites was lesser than that of the AA2024 matrix.Keywords
