TRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF ALUMINUM BASED METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE(DISC MATERIAL) AGAINST POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITE (AUTOMOBILE BRAKE PAD MATERIAL)

Metal composite materials have found applications in many areas of daily life for quite some time. In traffic engineering, especially in automotive industry, MMCs have been used commercially in fiber reinforced pistons and aluminum crank case with strengthened cylinder surfaces as well as particle strengthened brake discs. These innovative materials open up unlimited possibilities for modern material science and development; the characteristics of MMCs can be designed into the material, custom-made, dependent on the application. From this potential, metal matrix composites fulfill all the desired conceptions of the designer. 


This material group becomes interesting for use as constructional and functional materials, if the property profile of conventional materials either does not reach the increased standards of specific demands, or is the solution of the problem. A metal matrix composite material basically consists of at least two constituent parts, one being a metal. The other material may be a different metal or another material such as a ceramic or organic compound. 
MMCs are made by dispersing a reinforcing material into metal matrix. The matrix is the monolithic material into which the reinforcement is embedded, and is completely continuous. The reinforcement does not always serve a purely structural task (reinforcing the compound), but is also used to change physical properties such as wear resistance, friction coefficient, or thermal conductivity. The ever increasing demand for light weight, fuel efficiency and comfort in automobile industries has lead to the development of advanced material along with optimized design. MMCs are widely used in industries, as they have excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance.
