Sliding Tribological Behavior of Al–Fe–V–Si–Graphite Solid …
The effect of copper-coated graphite amount on the properties of the composite was also investigated. The results show that the Al–Fe–V–Si–graphite composites mainly consist of α-Al, Al 8 Fe 2 Si intermetallic, and graphite phases. The addition of Cu-coated graphite can decrease the friction coefficient and wear rate from RT to 350 °C.
