Abstract
Light and wear resistant Al camshaft belt pulleys for engines were pro duced from standard Al powder mixtures with addition of hard particles . Pre-screening tests of numerous inclusions showed 10 mass% ZrSiO4 to be the best choice. Full size belt pulleys were produced by pressing, sintering at optimized parameters, and sizing. Wear testing was carri ed out on pin-disc testers and special belt pulley testbeds. Both dime nsional and wear properties were found to be well comparable to those of conventional iron pulleys, with the exception of some attack on the belt by protruding particles after prolonged testing.
