The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of process parameters on adhesive wear resistance by using the Taguchi experimental design method. In this study, Cu-Ni/B4Cp composites were produced by the powder metallurgy method and the effect on the adhesive wear resistance was investigated. Cu-Ni/B4Cp composite materials were made by cold pressing methods and reinforced with 1% Ni as well as with 6, 12 and 18% B4Cp, respectively. The sintering was carried out at 800 and 900°C for 60 minutes. The wear tests were performed by using block on ring test apparatus at loads of 5, 10 and 15 N at a rotation speed of 90 rpm and a wear distance of 250, 500 and 750 m, respectively. The results were evaluated by the calculated wear losses. The wear resistance increased with increasing B4C ratio.

In this study, new material was produced using Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) method, upon which Co and Ni in different ratios were added into a CuSn-based (85/15) alloy. HIP method has very important advantages in that it allows pressure and temperature to be applied simultaneously during the process. In the study, a constant sintering temperature of 800 °C, a constant sintering time of 15 min, and two different sintering pressures of 20 and 30 MPa were used. The sintering process was performed under a vacuum after the initial burning process. The produced samples were subjected to various metallographic processes as well as SEM and EDS analyses. Afterward, a wear test was carried out on the samples. The study investigated the effects of Ni and Co additions and the sintering pressure on the wear behavior. It was found that as the amount of Co and the sintering pressure increased, the wear resistance increased.
