摘要:Wear behavior of spray formed Al-17Si and Al-17Si-10Sn alloys was investigated using a pin on disktype wear testing machine and characterization of this Al-Si and Al-Si-Sn metal matrix composite alloys is done usingoptical microscope. The alloys were spray formed in an environmental chamber using nitrogen gas and a depositiondistance of 380mm. The spray formed alloys showed considerable microstructural refinement with uniform distributionof Si particles in Al–Si alloys and that of Sn and Si particles in the matrix of primary Al phase of Al–Si–Sn alloys. Drysliding wear behavior of these metal matrix composite alloys was studied as a function of sliding distance, applied loadand sliding velocity. The wear response parameters such as wear rate and frictional force were measured. Aconsiderable increase in the wear resistance of the alloy is observed with addition of Tin(Sn). The improved wearproperties and characterization of the alloy containing Sn are discussed in light of the microstructural features of sprayformed alloy.
