3. Experimental procedure
The wear morphology of the samples before and after the wear
test experiment was carried out using the inverted microscope
equipmemt, it reveal that the proper distribution of the reinforce-
ments added to the main alloy material [35–39]. The wear mor-
phology of the specimen is shown in the Figs. 6, 7, and 8.
