Abstract:
The Ni-Cu-C solid self-lubricating materials were prepared by melting method and the spheroidization effect of rare earth magnesium on graphite of Ni-Cu-C was studied. The results show that with the addition percent of Cu within 0-50%, the spheroidization effect of 0.75% of rare earth magnesium on the graphite during crystallization is effective. After the graphite being spheroidized, its nucleation density increases and distributes homogeneously. The solution of Cu improves the hardness of alloy matrix and the electrical resistivity of Ni-Cu-C alloy. The more adding of Cu has the effective spheroidization on the graphite, but reduces the content graphite. The self-lubricating properties of Ni-Cu-C alloy increase with the increasing of graphite content and spheroidization. Through dry friction and wear experiment against 45# annealed steel and GCr15 bearing steel, it was found that the friction coefficient of the Ni-20%Cu-3.5%C alloy remains stably as 0.12 and 0.13, respectively.
