Wear resistance of metals and alloys; Proceedings of the Conference, Chicago, IL, Sept. 24-30, 1988

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5492376

Techniques for characterizing and improving the wear properties of metals and composites are discussed in reviews and reports. Topics addressed include the use of interatomic potentials to study the relationship between abrasive wear and other mechanical properties, gas-detonation powder spraying of diamond coatings, a fluidized-bed test method for erosion resistance, the wear behavior of Al and Al-Si-Cu alloys, and abrasive wear of bronze and ZA alloys with and without lubrication. Consideration is given to continuously cast vs sand-cast Zn-Al alloys for bearings, sintered 6061 Al-alloy-based particulate composites with dry lubricants, Cu-based particulate composites, high-temperature friction and wear of X-750 and X-188 superalloys for low-heat-rejection engines, a new metallurgical conception of wear-resistant steels, and the effect of matrix microstructure on the abrasion resistance of high-Cr white cast irons. Extensive graphs and micrographs are provided.
