The study investigates the microstructural evolution and wear behavior of Al–12.6Si–0.25Fe–xMn alloys (x = 0, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) in dry sliding wear experiments. Manganese (Mn) considerably modifies the microstructure by modifying primary and eutectic silicon particles, changing Fe-rich intermetallic compounds, and increasing the overall wear resistance of Al–12.6Si–0.25Fe. The microstructural investigation demonstrates the production of Al15(Mn,Fe)3Si2 intermetallic phases, as well as a more uniform Si particle distribution. Wear experiments at varied loads (20 N, 40 N, and 60 N) show that Mn addition significantly reduces wear-rates and specific wear-rates, especially at lower loads. The findings highlight Mn's significance in increasing the hardness and wear resistance of Al–Si–Fe alloys, making them better suited to automotive applications. - Dry Sliding Wear Behaviour of Al–7.6Si–xZr Alloys: Understanding the Impact of Zr on Wear Characteristics, Mechanics, and Transition

This study investigates the wear characteristics of Al–25Mg2Si composite synthesized via gravity casting. The research aims to understand the influence of applied load, test temperature, contact condition (dry and lubrication), and sliding distance on wear characteristics. Results show that higher loads and temperatures lead to increased wear loss and coefficient of friction. The worn surface morphology for higher loads and temperature shows deeper scratches and grooves, indicating severity in wear. The debris size and volume increase with an increase in load and temperature. The dominant mechanism is abrasive, adhesive, and oxidative for both the room‐ and high‐temperature dry sliding conditions. However adhesive and oxidative wear increase with the increase in test temperature. Abrasive wear is the only wear mechanism present during the lubricating sliding condition. Wear transition is noticed during the wear map analysis subjected to load, temperature, and sliding distance. In the case of room‐temperature test, severe–moderate–mild wear transition occurs with the increase in sliding distance and mild–moderate–severe wear transition occurs with the increase in test temperature and applied load. The roughness of the worn surface increases with an increase in applied load and temperature and the use of lubricant hugely reduces the surface roughness. - Influence of Fe on Crystallization Behaviour and Electrical Conductivity of V2O5 ⋅ MoO3 ⋅ CdO ⋅ ZnO Glass Nanocomposite

The effect of varying iron content on the crystallization behavior and electrical conductivity mechanism of glass nanocomposite based on the system xFe ⋅ (1‐x) ⋅ (0.3 V2O5 ⋅ 0.2MoO3 ⋅ 0.4CdO ⋅ 0.1ZnO) (x=0.0, 0.05 and 0.1) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission‐scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Different crystal phases and the average size of the developed nanocrystallites in the as‐prepared samples have been obtained from the XRD diffraction data. The size of estimated nanocrystallites increases up to Fe (x) content 0.05, after which the size of nanocrystallites decreases as the Fe content in the compositions increases. FESEM micrographs confirm the formation of plate‐like and dendrite nano crystallites throughout the glass matrix. Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping analysis shows the weight percentage of each constituent element. The dc activation energy (Eσ), as well as activation energy (EH) for hopping frequency of as‐prepared samples, gradually decreases with increasing Fe content whereas AC and DC conductivity gradually increased. - Thermochemical behaviour, solidification, thermal stability and oxidation of Al-Mg2Si composites: An experimental and thermodynamic study
