Abstract
The paper presents a research on abrasion resistance of aluminium-based composites consisting of EN AC-44200 matrix reinforced with AlB2BOB3B particles. The examinations revealed that wear intensity of the composites decreased with increasing volume fraction of the particles. Much more intensive abrasive wear was observed on the first kilometre in comparison to the wear on the subsequent distances, i.e. from 1 to 3.5 km and from 3.5 to 8.5 km of the wear distance. Microscopic examinations permitted determining the way and type of wear occurring in the examined materials. In the case of the AC-44200 matrix, typical adhesive wear is observed. In composite materials however, abrasive wear prevails over adhesive wear. Increased volume fraction of AlB2BOB3B particles in composite materials results in increasing friction factor in average by 0.250 per each 10 vol.%. Wear of the cast-iron counterspecimen is also strongly dependent on volume fraction of the reinforcing particles. The counterspecimen demonstrates the largest wear when working in contact with a composite material containing 40 vol.% of AlB2BOB3B particles.
