Study on tribology of liquid-solid formed CuPb20Sn5/Carbon steel bimetal

Taking CuPb20Sn5 as the research object, the CuPb20Sn5/Carbon steel bimetallic sample was prepared by the solid-liquid compound method, and the relationship between the microstructure and friction properties of the bimetallic CuPb20Sn5 layer. The results show that the Cu3P and delta (Cu31Sn8) phases in CuPb20Sn5 are distributed in the alpha-Cu to improve the wear resistance of the alloy. The friction coefficient fluctuates in the range of 0.057 similar to 0.093, when the load was 150 N-350 N. When the speed exceeds 3.86 m s(-1), as the load increases, the friction coefficient first increases and then decreases, and the wear rate increases. When the load was less than 250 N, the wear surface of CuPb20Sn5 was smooth, and the material was basically free of wear. When the load was 300 N, the friction coefficient reaches the lowest point, and the third body friction layer was formed in CuPb20Sn5 layer, and the wear mechanism was slight adhesive wear. When the load was greater than 300 N, Pb will fall off the CuPb20Sn5 surface, and the friction coefficient increase, causing abrasive wear.

Automated summary

The research on the CuPb20Sn5/Carbon steel bimetallic sample revealed that the friction properties vary under different loads, with the friction coefficient first increasing and then decreasing as the load increases, leading to an increase in wear rate. At lower loads, the CuPb20Sn5 surface experiences minimal wear, while at higher loads, significant wear occurs.
