Abstract
The wear behaviors of nanocrystalline Cu-Zn alloy were investigated. Sliding wear tests were performed on a pin-on-disk test machine under dry conditions. Results indicated that nanocrystalline Cu-Zn alloy annealed at 300 °C exhibited better wear resistance and high load-bearing capacity than those in the as-pressed state. A surface film almost covering the entire worn surface was formed for nanocrystalline Cu-Zn alloy annealed at 300 °C at a load range from 2.1–5.6 MPa. The surface film effectively improves the wear resistance of nanocrystalline Cu-Zn alloy.
