Abstract : Aluminium metal matrix composites are widely used in many applications ranging from automobiles to aircraft
industry. Due to the ability to tailor the properties depending upon the reinforcements, metal matrix composites are of
considerable interest in today’s world. Graphene, a very unique member from the carbon family, is known for its lubricational
and binding abilities. Several works about graphene reinforced metal composites were published in the past decade. Although
monolayer graphene only have a single layer, and difficult to bind with the matrix, production of graphene in the form of
ERGO(exfoliated reduced graphene oxide) surpasses these difficulties as ERGO has a few exfoliated layers and some oxide
groups that readily attach with it. Current study focuses on the tribological aspects of graphene. Its role in reducing the wear
rate and friction coefficient.
