摘要
Particle effects on friction and wear of 6061 aluminium (6061 Al) reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and alumina (Al2O3) particles were investigated by means of Vickers microhardness measurements and scratch tests. Unreinforced 6061 Al matrix alloy was also studied for comparison. To explore the effect of heat treatment, materials subjected to three different heat treatment conditions, i.e, under-aged, over-aged and T6, were used. Multiple-scratch tests using a diamond and a steel indentor were also carried out to simulate real abrasive wear processes. Vickers microhardness measurements indicated that T6 heat-treated composites had the highest hardness. Single-scratch tests showed that the variation of friction coefficient was similar to that of Vickers hardness and the peak-aged composites exhibited the best wear resistance. The wear rate of fine particle-reinforced composites was mainly affected by hardness. However, the wear rate of large particle-reinforced composites was influenced by both the hardness and fracture of the particles.
