Abstract

Single-phase CuAl8Fe3 aluminum bronze is preferred material for many applications requiring good strength and high corrosion and wear resistance. Due to its lower aluminum content (below 8.5%), this alloy cannot be subjected to heat treatment. The effect of diamond burnishing (DB) on wear resistance performance of this bronze was studied via wear tests under boundary lubrication and dry friction conditions. Three groups of specimens were tested, each subjected to different finishing process: fine turning, DB with one pass and DB with six passes. The DB process with six passes provided the highest wear resistance under the condition of boundary lubrication friction and increased the wear resistance 5.1 times more than fine turning. DB with one pass resulted in the highest wear resistance under the dry friction condition and increased the wear resistance 1.75 times more than fine turning. It was established that the geometrical characteristics of surface texture are dominant under the condition of boundary lubrication friction. Conversely, the physical-mechanical characteristics of the surface layer dominate when the wear is under condition of dry friction. It was found that in addition to the known positive effects, DB provides suitable surface texture to improve the lubrication between the contact surfaces.
