Conclusions
-
1.
Ultrasonic treatment of the melt along with the addition of surface-active sodium in amounts of 0.2–0.8% makes it possible to obtain antifriction aluminum alloys with a lead concentration as high as 12%. The lead inclusions are evenly distributed through the base metal.
-
2.
The addition of sodium to aluminum alloys with lead improves the strength characteristics, with retention of fairly high ductile characteristics (elongation 15–17%).
-
3.
The antifriction properties of aluminum alloys with 8–12% Pb are close to those of babbitt B83 and high-tin aluminum alloys widely used for bearings.
