摘要
The micromechanisms that control the sliding wear behavior of AI-Si alloys tested under ultra-mild wear conditions were characterized using optical profilometry and electron microscopy, and analyzed by means of a contact mechanics model. A series of damage events occurred to the chemically etched surfaces of an Al-25%, Si alloy, subjected to boundary-lubricated contact during pin-on-disk tests. in the following sequence: the fracture and/or sinking-in of silicon particles into the aluminum matrix accompanied by the formation of aluminum pile-ups; aluminum wear (rapid wear period) and the development of an oil residue layer on the contact surface. Compared to an Al-11% Si with similar silicon morphology but lower hardness, the Al-25%. Si delayed aluminum wear more effectively. Once an oil residue layer supported by a subsurface microstructure consisting of ultra-fine aluminum grains was formed, both alloys displayed decreasing wear rates. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
