Dry sliding wear behavior of hot forged and annealed Cu-Cr-SiC in-situ composite

Abstract

In-situ composites offer a wide selection of constituent and an opportunity for understanding the mechanisms their mechanical properties so that intelligent decisions may be taken while tailoring a composite for a specific application. Properties of material are basically governed by the constituent phases and their distribution and depend on the composition and processing conditions. In the present investigation tribological properties of hot forged Cu-Cr-SiC and annealed after hot forging system are proposed to be studied by addition of Cr and SiC into the copper matrix. The effect of constituent phases on tribological properties after hot forged and annealed after hot forged has been investigated. It is expected to enhance the understanding of tribological properties in this presented work for the hot forged Cu-Cr-SiC composite system. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
