Abstract
Micro-structural characterization of the composites has revealed fairly uniform distribution and some amount of grain refinement in the specimens. Further, it was observed that the micro-hardness improve when increasing the milling time and the reinforcement content due to presence of hard Al2O3 particles. Was also observed a low wear rate exhibited by the Al/Al2O3/Gr hybrid composites due to presence of Al2O3 and Gr which they acted as load bearing elements and solid lubricant respectively. The observed wear rate and micro-hardness have been correlated with microstructural analyses.
