Abstract


A promising composite material for tribotechnical applications based on aluminum bronze with reinforcing boron carbide particles fabricated by a special electron beam additive deposition technique was studied experimentally and numerically. Tribological experiments showed that reinforcing by carbide particles allowed reducing the coefficient of friction from 0.26 to 0.19 and improving the wear resistance by 2.2 times. Computer modeling reveals two main factors playing a significant role in the friction behavior of the studied metal matrix composite: the mechanical effect of reinforcing ceramic inclusions and effective hardening of the metal matrix due to the peculiarities of the 3D electron beam printing. The mechanical effect of hardening inclusions determines a more rounded shape of wear particles, preventing wedging, and thereby increasing the stability of friction. Strengthening the metal matrix leads to reducing the number of wear particles.
