Evaluation of Wear Properties of Microtitanium and Carbon Nanotubes Reinforced Copper Based Metal Matrix Composites

Over the year's manufacturers and researchers have paid attention and showed interest on metal matrix composites. These MMC's composites by the virtue of properties like high strength to weight ratio. High temperature strength and excellent creep, fatigue and wear resistance have a demand in the current market. The current work focusses on the influence and contribution of single or multi walled carbon nanotube and micro titanium to the wear properties of copper matrix composites. The metal matrix composites were subjected to stir casting by varying different weight fractions of micro titanium and carbon nanotubes after casting the composites were subjected to wear test and wear test were conducted as per ASTM standards G99-95a.The results of experiments conducted and results obtained are successfully highlighted and the use of experimental reinforcing limits of micro titanium on wear characteristics of copper composites were successfully studied on this paper.
