In current study; the effect of various Gadolinium (Gd) additions on the microstructure and sliding wear behaviour of Al-15%Mg2Si composite before and after the hot extrusion process was examined. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with EDX facility and X-ray diffra...
