Abstract:
Fe3Al-graphite solid self-lubricating materials were prepared by melting method. The effects of Si content on the microscopic structure, mechanical and dry friction properties were investigated. The results show that Si element has an effect on facilitating carbon atoms to solute in Fe-Al-C liquid alloy and to graphitize in the process of solidification, which can solution strengthen the alloy matrix. With increasing Si content, the hardness decreases and the bend strength increases because the the strengthening effect of graphitization. When Si content exceeds 3.5%(mass fraction), the bend strength deduces dramatically because the solution of Si element in Fe3Al matrix is too much. The results also show that Fe3Al-graphite alloy has good wear-resisting and lubricating properties. The coefficient of dry friction decreases with increasing area density of graphite, and the wear rate reduces with increasing Si content. Fe3Al-graphite solid self-lubricating material with 3.5% Si after annealing at 900°C for 15 h has good mechanical properties, and the wear rate is just as 1/20 as that the of spheroidal graphite iron.
