Abstract This study presents the synthesis and optimization of AA8011 aluminium matrix composites reinforced with waste borosilicate glass particles using stir casting. Reinforcement levels of 0–15 wt.% were evaluated for tribological performance under varying operating conditions. A Taguchi L16 design integrated with Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was employed to optimize wear rate, friction force, and coefficient of friction.

Abstract This study investigates the microstructure, mechanical properties, and fracture behaviour of AA8011 aluminium matrix composites reinforced with TiB₂ particles. The composites containing 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt% TiB₂ were fabricated using the stir casting technique under optimized processing conditions.

Abstract The development of lightweight and wear-resistant materials plays a vital role in advancing sustainable engineering systems by improving energy efficiency and extending component service life. In the present study, AA8011 aluminium matrix composite reinforced with 9 wt% SiO₂ particles was fabricated using the stir casting technique and its tribological performance was systematically evaluated under dry sliding conditions.
