r0010">The controllable process parameters of stir casting (namely: particle size of solute (SiC), proportion of SiC) and vacuum moulding process (namely: vacuum pressure and sand grain size) were studied to find out their affect on wear properties of AMC.
r0015">Wear was examined on ‘pin-on-disc type tribological tester’. The results of the study highlights that as regards to dry sliding wear; sand grain size, vacuum pressure, particle size, and proportion of SiC; have contributed 5.95%, 10.14%, 10.71% and 73.2%, respectively. The improvement in material performance of the AMC prepared by using VMASC was counter verified with microstructure analysis.
