摘要

To investigate the key factors that cause ZrB2/AA6111 and (ZrB2+Al3Zr)/AA6111 aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) made via in situ reaction to behave differently in terms of friction and wear. Room-temperature dry sliding tribological behavior of AA6111 Al alloys, ZrB2/AA6111, and (ZrB2+Al3Zr)/AA6111 AMCs against silicon nitride (Si3N4) counterparts were investigated. The study showed that AA6111/Al alloy had the highest wear rate and the most unstable coefficient of friction (COF), indicating the worst abrasion resistance. (ZrB2+Al3Zr)/AA6111 AMCs exhibit a lower wear rate and higher COF than ZrB2/AA6111 AMCs. The result proved that the Al3Zr particles prepared by the in-situ reaction are strongly bonded (lattice misfit δ=2.7%) to the Al matrix and are not easily stripped from the substrate. ZrB2/AA6111 AMCs exhibited a lower COF attributed to the tribochemical reaction inducing the formation of more boric acid (H3BO3) films with a graphite-like structure having a lubricating effect.
