Wear-resistance of Aluminum Matrix Microcomposite Materials
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2011, Vol 33, Issue 2
Abstract
A procedure is developed for the study of wear of aluminum alloys AlSi7 obtained by casting, reinforced by TiC microparticles, before and after heat treatment. Tribological study is realized under conditions of friction on counterbody with fixed abrasive. Experimental results were obtained for mass wear, wear rate, wear intensity and wear-resistance of the alloys with different wt% of microparticles.

Effect of Surface Roughness and Temperature on EHL for Parallel Surfaces Subjected to High Acceleration
Frictional wear is one of the most common causes of material failure. One of the most common techniques to overcome this is to lubricate the surfaces in contact using an optimum amount of appropriate lubricant. Same tech...
Pressure Surge Analysis of a Test Bench for Biodegradable Hydraulic Oils
A test bench for biodegradable hydraulic oils generates pressure surges by cyclic pressure loading. The parameters of these pressure surges (maximum pressure, amplitude, frequency etc.) are defined by the characteristics...
Numerical Modeling of Rough Contact between Two Cylinders with Axes Parallel
The present paper represents a study of the effect of surface roughness in elastic-plastic micro contact between two cylinders in contact along their external generatrix by finite element analysis. This is the first stud...
Tribological Properties of Silicone Rubber-Based Ceramizable Composites Destined for Wire Covers. Part II. Studies of Ball-on-Plate, Plate-on-Plate and Ring-on-Plate Friction Contact
Tribological properties of commercially available silicone-based ceramizable composites were studied. Friction forces of three different types of ceramizable composites were measured against three different-shape steel s...
