Abstract
This review synthesizes recent experimental findings and evaluates the wear mechanisms, surface morphology, and microstructural changes induced by AlO and MoS in Aluminum Alloy 6082. Key insights into processing techniques, optimal reinforcement ratios, and their impact on mechanical and wear properties are discussed, offering a roadmap for future research and practical applications. The findings of this review indicate that AlO and MoS-reinforced Aluminum Alloy 6082 composites hold significant promise for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications where superior wear resistance, mechanical strength, and reduced friction are critical.Aluminum Alloy 6082 is widely used in engineering applications due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. However, its application in high-wear and high-load environments is often limited by moderate wear resistance and tribological performance. Recent studies have explored the use of reinforcements such as AlO (alumina) and Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS) to enhance the mechanical and tribological properties of Aluminum Alloy 6082. AlO, a ceramic material with high hardness and thermal stability, is added to improve wear resistance and surface hardness, while MoS, a solid lubricant, is used to reduce friction and enhance sliding wear performance. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of these reinforcements on the mechanical and tribological characteristics of Aluminum Alloy 6082.
