Abstract:

In the present investigation, A356 alloy is used as matrix and Al2O3 is used as reinforcement containing 5, 10 and 15wt% particulates of 40µm were successfully synthesized. The synthesis of these composites was carried out by stir casting technique. The connecting rod is fabricated using sand casting. Wear testing was done on samples by using pin on disc equipment, and found the lower wear rates, The experimental results showed significant grain refinement and remarkably improvement in mechanical properties of casting.
