Abstract
Aluminium alloys remain highly attractive for weight reduction measures. Yet the fundamental mechanisms on the nanometre scale which dominate friction and wear are still largely unexplored. Using state-of-the-art surface analytical tools scientists at IAVF Antriebstechnik AG have studied the cylinder bore surface of a hypereutectic AlSi crankcase. These investigations led to a new model that is able to explain a number of wear phenomena of AlSi materials.
