ABSTRACT
Aluminum bronze alloys produced by various methods are preferred materials in many fields of the industry due to their high wear resistance and good sliding properties. This study investigated the tribological properties of aluminum bronze alloys produced by forging from Cu, Al, Fe, and Mg elements. Dry sliding wear tests were carried out on a pin-on-disc wear device. Three tribological properties, wear, friction coefficient, and temperature of aluminum bronze alloys were investigated. Experimental studies were carried out for different loads, sliding speeds, and sliding ways. The factorial experiment design method was applied in the MINITprogram. A SEM visualized the samples microstructures to examine the material wear characteristics. As a result of the study, it was deter-mined that the applied load, sliding speed, and sliding way were effective parameters on the amount of wear and friction coefficient. The maximum amount of wear was 0.352 mg at 100 N load, 3 m/s sliding speed, and 3000 m sliding way conditions. The maximum temperature between materials under these conditions is 299 oC. The minimum amount of wear was obtained when 25 N load, 1 m/s sliding speed, and 1000 m sliding way were applied.
