Wear Protective Effects of Tribolayer Formation for Copper Based Alloys in Sliding Contacts: Alloy Dependent Sliding Surfaces and Their Effects on Wear and Friction
Abstract:High sliding wear resistance is generally attributed to high hardness and high mechanical strength. Novel near net shape process technologies such as metal injection moulding (MIM) or lost foam casting (LF) lack forming processes that typically increase strength. Consequently, the materials exhibit large-grained microstructures with low defect densities. Commercial copper alloys (CuSn8, CuNi9Sn6, CuSn12Ni2) well known for good sliding properties were produced using MIM and LF and characterised in the current s… Show more
