The effect of serpentine natural mineral powder as additive on the friction and wear of tin
bronze against steel under oil lubrication was investigated by four-factor and three-level …

For sliding electrical contacts a combination of satisfactory current transfer and good
tribological performance is desired. A complete tribo-electrical study is presented where a …

The development of alloys suitable for engine bearings demands not only reducing the
amount of wear as well as increasing the load carrying capability due to both engines …

Based on the concept of green design and development, FeS/Cu–Bi lead-free copper matrix
composites were prepared by using FeS and Bi powder as lubricating phase to replace the …

A gradient nanostructured (GNS) surface layer was fabricated on a commercial interstitial-
free (IF) steel by means of surface mechanical grinding treatment (SMGT). Reciprocating dry …

Wear of conventional metallic materials involves various complex solid state processes of
which the dominant process is elusive. From a thorough experimental investigation on the …

To improve the tribological properties of Babbitt alloy used as journal bearing pad
specifically under severe condition, Babbitt substrate was prayed with a coating of …

The dual-scale structured Al–Sn based alloys are potential alternative for journal bearings of
automotive application due to their excellent tribological and mechanical properties. In this …

The microstructure of the transfer layer, and the underlying severely plastically deformed
layer (SPDL), formed during the dry sliding of a spinodally hardened Cu–15wt.% Ni–8wt …

An in situ displacement reaction was used to prepare an Al–12 wt% Sn nanocomposite alloy
from mechanically alloyed Al–SnO 2–MgH 2. The nanoscaled Sn phase was mostly 30–50 …
