Ai. Yuga et al., Effect of the working medium and the particle size of the strengthening phase on tribological properties of a metal-ceramic composite, POWD MET ME, 37(9), 1998, pp. 535-539
We present data fi om tribological tests of composite materials in a metal-
ceramic system in various working media. We have found that introduction of
hard particles (silicon carbide) into a fin bronze matrix has a positive e
ffect on the tribological properties of the composite. The size of the part
icles of strengthening phase must be larger than the depth of the working l
ayer subjected to plastic deformation.
