Effect of structure on tribomechanical properties of sintered (Al-12Si)-Sn composites

Abstract

The structure, mechanical and tribological properties of sintered (Al-12Si)-xSn composites were investigated in the present study. The composites were obtained by sintering of the briquettes made of aluminum (Al-12Si) and tin powders mixture. It was found that the hot densification substantially increases the strength of sintered composites and also makes much higher their wear resistance under the dry friction against a steel counterbody. The mechanical properties of the obtained materials slowly decrease with an increasing of tin content up to 40 wt. %, while their wear resistance increases
