Microscopic study on the effect of nano-clay-particles on wear behaviors of piston aluminum-silicon alloy under various forces and speeds.

In the present article, a microscopic investigation was done on the effect of adding nano-clay-particles into the aluminum matrix on the wear behaviors of piston aluminum-silicon alloy under various forces and speeds. Then, the variation of the wear rate and the coefficient of friction (CoF) of the alloys was reported alongside the behavior of nano-reinforced composites. For this objective, the reciprocating wear tests were conducted under different conditions.

Analyzing experimental data from reciprocating wear testing on piston aluminum alloys, with and without clay nano-particle reinforcement.

In the present experimental data, reciprocating wear testing was done on piston aluminum alloys. In some cases, this material was also reinforced by 1% wt. of clay nano-particles and also tested under wear conditions.

Data analysis of high-cycle fatigue testing on piston aluminum-silicon alloys under various conditions: Wear, lubrication, corrosion, nano-particles, heat-treating, and stress.

In the present work, experimental datasets of high-cycle fatigue properties have been analyzed for aluminum-silicon alloys with the application of the engine piston. For such an objective, standard specimens were casted and machined to perform stress-controlled fatigue testing under fully-reversed cyclic bending loadings. These experiments were done under various conditions of the precorrosion after 100 and 200 h, with the wear (fretting) force of 10, 15, and 20 N, in the lubricated environment, the addition of 1 wt.
