Abstract:In the present study,ZTA ceramic perform were firstly prepared by hot press sintering,and then A356 was poured into the ZTA ceramic perform to fabricate ZTA/A356 composite by pressure infiltration process.The friction and wear properties of ZTA/A356 composite were addressed.The results show that the ZTA/A3 5 6 composite is about a quarter of the volume losses of A3 5 6,and the wear resistance properties of composite firstly decrease and then increase with the decrease of ZTA particle size.
