Abstract

Observations were made of the dry sliding wear behavior of a leaded-tin bronze against different counterface materials (stainless, EN8, and EN24 steels) over a range of applied pressures and speeds. The study showed that, in addition to sliding speed and pressure, the characteristics of the counterface materials greatly control the wear response of the bronze. The results were further substantiated by the characteristics of the wear surfaces, subsurface regions, and debris particles generated during the tests.
