Abstract
Hypoeutectic Al-7Si alloys containing various titanium proportions (0.8–1.6%) were produced and analyzed in this work. The wear characteristics of Al-Si alloys were studied under the conditions of dry sliding at various applied loads. Optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to depict the microstructure, worn surface and phases, respectively. Phases of α-Al, eutectic and Ti9Al23 were recognized in the Al-Si-Ti alloys matrix. Considerable coarsening took place in α-Al and eutectic silicon in a fully eutectic through solidification. The hardness was increased as the titanium proportion increased. Furthermore, significant changes were found in the wear rate depending on the
titanium proportion added and load applied.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Transactions (formerly Rozprawy Inżynierskie) is a refereed international journal founded in 1952. The journal promotes research and practice in engineering science and provides a forum for interdisciplinary publications combining mechanics with: Material science, Mechatronics, Biomechanics and Biotechnologies, Environmental science, Photonics, Information technologies, Other engineering applications. The journal publishes original papers covering a broad area of research activities including: experimental and hybrid techniques, analytical and numerical approaches. Review articles and special issues are also welcome. Following long tradition, all articles are peer reviewed and our expert referees ensure that the papers accepted for publication comply with high scientific standards. Engineering Transactions is a quarterly journal intended to be interesting and useful for the researchers and practitioners in academic and industrial communities.
