“…The black regions were identified to consist of zinc and copper sulphide species. This is in accordance with the findings of other researchers [16][17][18][19]. The babbitt used in this study consisted of 34% lead (Pb), 50% tin (Sn), 12% antimony (Sb) and 4% copper (Cu), and is shown in the micrograph in Figure 5.…”

The corrosion of soft metals in ester base fluids was studied. Leaded red brass, babbitt, lead and tin were investigated in different natural and synthetic ester base fluids. The base fluids were tested neat or with added oleic acid to model oxidation and hydrolysis. In a few experiments, water was added. The metal specimens were brought into contact with the base fluid under either static or dynamic conditions. The corrosion degree was measured both on the metal specimen (gravimetrically) and in the oil (wear metal analysis). Larger weight losses were observed for the babbitt material than for the leaded red brass. A higher corrosion rate was observed for ester base fluids with a lower hydrolytic stability. Experiments under dynamic conditions gave rise to higher rates of corrosion. Generally, higher corrosion rates were observed for high levels of added oleic acid. Additionally, a polished specimen surface seemed to promote corrosion in this work.

“…However, the high melting point of copper and the low compatibility between CFs and matrix lead to some difficulties in obtaining perfect interfacial bonding [5]. On the other hand, because of good mechanical properties, anti-oxidizing and wear resistance, tin bronze 6-6-3 with the chemical composition of Cu-6 wt%Sn-6%Zn-3%Pb is extensively used for bearings and wear parts at middle speed and middle or high loads [6]. However, lead in tin bronze is harmful to the environment, and tin is a kind of costly metal.…”

Copper-coated carbon fibers and carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced tin bronze matrix composites were prepared by chemical plating and powder metallurgy, respectively. Copper-coated CFs were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscope. The effects of CF volume fraction on the friction properties and tensile properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the composites exhibited lower friction coefficient and higher tensile strength than tin bronze 6-6-3 with the chemical composition of Cu-6 wt%Sn-6%Zn-3%Pb. The friction coefficient of the composites decreased with the increasing of the CF volume fraction. The composite with 9 vol.% CFs showed the highest hardness and tensile strength, which were, respectively, about 1.89 and 1.689 higher than those of the tin bronze 6-6-3.

“…Because of good mechanic properties, anti-oxidizing and wear resistance, Cu-6 wt.%Sn-6 wt.%Zn-3 wt.%Pb (bronze 6-6-3) bronze is extensively used for bearings and wear parts at middle speed and middle or high loads [1]. Since lead in tin bronze is harmful to the environment and tin is a kind of valuable metal, we tried to eliminate lead and reduce the tin addition in the composite matrix.…”
