Abstract: | Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process was carried out for a commercial aluminum bronze alloy (Cu–10%Al–4%Fe) produced
by hotrolling at high temperature. The effect of ECAE on microstructure, mechanical, and tribological properties of the alloy
was investigated. Experimental results showed that the grain size of the alloy decreased with the increase of the pass number
of ECAE. After applying ECAE with six passes, the hardness and yield strength of the alloy increased from 118 kgf/mm2 and 356 MPa to 165 kgf/mm2 and 588 MPa, respectively. The friction coefficient and wear rate of the aluminum bronze alloy were largely reduced due to
the improvement of mechanical properties after ECAE. The adhesive wear was the primary wear mechanism for the specimen without
ECAE, while abrasive wear was dominant for the specimen with ECAE after six passes. |
