| Summary: | The recent advancement in graphene-reinforced
aluminium matrix composites improves wear behaviour in
the production of lightweight and high-performance nano-composites. Considerable works have been devoted to
using graphene nanoparticles as solid self-lubricants to
increase wear resistance, minimise friction coefficients,
improve service efficiency, and extend the lifespan of
related sliding components. In general, wear behaviour
often depends on the homogeneous distribution of graphene in the aluminium matrix. The non-uniform distribution of reinforcement due to the tendency of graphene to
agglomerate in aluminium matrix and its poor wettability
becomes a challenge in developing optimum functional of
composites. The wettability of graphene can be enhanced by proper processing methods and sufficient addition of
magnesium that can improve the wear and frictional properties of the produced composites. Hence, this review
article provides recent findings and the influence of graphene as reinforcement materials in composites, including the effects on wear behaviour and friction properties. This
article also discusses new advancements in the effect of
graphene in self-lubricating aluminium matrix composites
and the impact of reinforcement on the wear mechanisms
of the composites. The future direction of the wear properties of MMCs is also covered at the end of the revi |
