Περίληψη: AA2024-SiC composites with varying silicon carbide (SiC) contents were produced through ultrasonic-assisted stir casting (UASC) at 20 kHz for 3 minutes, using 50 µm SiC particles. Experimental density increased while porosity content decreased with increasing percentage of SiC content. Further, this study revealed a uniform distribution of SiC and significant grain refinement with the implementation of SiC. The Vickers microhardness increased from 82.7 ± 10.2 HV for unreinforced AA2024 to max. of 127 ± 8.2 HV at 12 wt.% SiC, marking a 53.5% enhancement due to grain refinement and strong interfacial bonding. Wear tests were conducted as per ASTM G99 conditions with a 20 N applied load and 1 m/s sliding speed, and they showed the lowest wear rate of 1.929 × 10−4 mm3/Nm and a coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.439 for the 9 wt.% SiC composite, demonstrating optimal tribological performance. Higher SiC content (12 wt.%) slightly increased wear rate to 2.139 × 10−4 mm3/Nm despite a reduced COF of 0.397, attributed to particle agglomeration and increased porosity. This study established that, among all compositions, 9 wt.% was reported as the optimum level, providing better structural integrity and excellent wear resistance for lightweight industrial applications.
