In this study, aluminium composites were produced with 10 % and 20 % silicon-carbide and ferroboron reinforcements and (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5) % graphite additions using powder metallurgy. The effects of the reinforcement type, the amount and the graphite content on the wear resistance were investigated. When compared with the unreinforced aluminium sample, it was clear that the increasing reinforcement increased the wear resistance. It was determined that the increasing graphite content negatively affects the wear resistance. The sample including 20 % ferroboron and 0 % graphite showed the minimum wear rate.EnglishDRY SLIDING WEARPOWDER-METALLURGYMECHANICAL-PROPERTIESTRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIORMATRIX COMPOSITESABRASIVE WEARMICROSTRUCTUREREINFORCEMENTPARTICLESADDITIONSArticle
