Dry Sliding Wear Behaviors of Iron Addition to Nickel–Aluminum Bronze Produced by Mechanical Alloying

Development of an oil-free swing vane compressor with liquid refrigerant injection

“…Dry sliding wear behaviour of aluminium bronze alloy enriched with iron and nickel was also studied by Simsek et al [86]. Wear tests were performed using a block-on-ring wear testing device with 0.2 ms −1 sliding velocity, four different sliding distances (400 -1600 m) and three different loads (10 N, 20 N and 30 N) and it was found that increasing the iron content increases the hardness of aluminium bronze with highest hardness value of 55.74HV observed.…”

“…The friction coefficient of aluminium bronze under normal loading and sliding against mild steel is generally within 0.01 to 0.25 under greased or oiled conditions [83,84]. Aluminium bronze alloy is usually strengthened with nanoparticles of aluminium oxide, titanium dioxide [85] or higher composition of iron and nickel [86] as it was found that these oxide dispersions strengthened alloys or iron-nickel enriched copper alloys tend to have higher elevated thermal stability, increased hardness and improved creep resistance which are properties more suitable for dry sliding applications [87,88].…”
