Description of Invention

This project investigates the enhancement of aluminium composites reinforced with TiO2 , Al2O3, and SiO2 particles using powder metallurgy. The 10% TiO2 composite emerged as the optimal material, combining high hardness and low friction, ideal for applications requiring robust sliding mechanisms.
