Abstract
In this paper, the influence of the heat treatment, load and sliding velocity on the volumetric wear rate of Al25Mg2Si-2Cu-4Mn alloy was evaluated using a pin-on-disc wear testing machine. Dry sliding wear test were conducted for four different loads (1, 2, 3 and 4kg) for four different velocities (1, 2, 3 and 4m/s). It was observed that the volumetric wear rate decreased with increasing load at constant speed and at constant load with increasing speed the volumetric wear rate increased and coefficient of friction in inversely proportional to load and sliding speed. The result reveals that the normal load is the most influencing the wear resistance followed by the heat treatment and sliding velocity.
