Analysis of tribological properties of graphite and aluminum composite materials prepared by powder metallurgy technique

Abstract

In order to make full use of the wear resistance and antifriction of the mixed reinforced particles, improve the performance and utilization rate of the composite material, and reduce its wear amount, in this study, graphite and aluminum composite materials with different graphite concentration were prepared by powder metallurgy process. On this basis, the influence of different graphite concentration on the friction coefficient and wear amount of composite samples and different load on the wear amount of composite materials were discussed and analyzed. The results show that with the increase of graphite content, the friction coefficient and wear amount of the composite will decrease correspondingly. When the load is less than 30 N, the wear curve of the sample changes steadily. When the load is more than 30 N, the wear will increase sharply. Therefore, the analysis of the tribological properties of the graphite and aluminum composites based on the powder metallurgy process plays an important role in improving the utilization rate of the composite and reducing its wear.
