Wear Mechanism of Cu-alloys

Delamination Wear Mechanism in Gray Cast Irons

An investigation of the friction and sliding wear of gray cast iron against chromium plated cast irons was carried out on a newly constructed reciprocating friction and wear tester. The tests were the first to be done on the test rig under dry conditions and at the speed of 170 cm/min, and variable loads of 20-260 N for a duration of 15 min. to 3 hours. The gray cast iron surfaces worn by a pro...

Machinability of Experimental Ti-Cu Alloys

This study is an investigation of the machinability of experimental Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10mass% Cu) as new dental titanium alloy candidates for CAD/CAM use. The alloys were slotted with a vertical milling machine and carbide square end mills under two cutting conditions. Their machinability was evaluated through cutting force using a three-component force transducer fixed on the table of th...

The Refining Mechanism of Super Gravity on the Solidification Structure of Al-Cu Alloys

There is far less study of the refining effect of super gravity fields on solidification structures of metals than of the effects of electrical currents, magnetic and ultrasonic fields. Moreover, the refining mechanisms of super gravity are far from clear. This study applied a super gravity field to Al-Cu alloys to investigate its effect on refining their structures and the mechanism of interac...
