Statistical modeling of Si-based refractory compounds of bamboo leaf and alumina reinforced Al-Si-Mg alloy hybrid composites.

Wear properties of Al-Mg-Si alloy matrix hybrid composites made with Si-based refractory compounds (SBRC) derived from bamboo leaf ash (BLA) as complimentary reinforcement with alumina have been studied. The experimental result indicate that optimum wear loss was obtained at higher sliding speed. The wear rate of the composites increased with an increase in BLA wt.
