Abstract
Al matrix composites reinforced by 10 vol.% Al2O3 and SiC particles we re subjected to dry sliding tests against steel using a slider-on-cyli nder tribometer. Damage mechanisms were 'micro-machining' of the steel carried out by ceramic particles, plastic deformation and oxidation o f the metal matrix, as well as abrasion. The results were discussed on the basis of the third-body wear model.
