The friction and wear properties of short carbon fibers (SCFs) reinforced aluminum matrix composite were studied. The influences of the fiber volume fraction, load applied, rotating speed, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results indicated that SCFs/Al composite had better tribological properties than Al alloy. The friction coefficient and wear mass loss decreased with the fiber volume fraction increased, but increased as the load and rotating speed increased, respectively. SCIF reduced direct contact between the matrix and counterpart and improved the wear resistance of SCFs/Al composite greatly. The wear displayed a linear evolution in all the range of load. Surfaces before and after wear tests were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) spectroscopy. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
