Wear performance of the lead free tin bronze matrix composite reinforced by s…

Abstract. The authors used carbon fiber as the substitute of a part of tin and all of lead in the tin bronzematrix, and studied the tribological properties of short carbon fiber-reinforced Cu–4 wt.%Sn–6 wt.%Zn composites. The effects of the fiber volume fraction, the load and sliding speed of the wear test were investigated. The composition of the matrix and the different fiber coating …
