The Effect of Velocity on the Sliding Behaviors of Copper Alloys

Abstract

This report is a study of the sliding behaviors of a number of copper alloys and other metals at various velocities. The research was carried out using the pin-on-disk friction and wear machine used for the work in ARRADCOM technical Report ARLCB-TR-82018. The same three disk metals (AISI 4340 steel, chromium electroplate, and tantalum) and the same pin metals were also used. Previous experiments were at a sliding speed of 1.70 meters per second (m/s). In this work sliding speeds of 3.05 m/s and 0.58 m/s were added for most of the alloys sliding on steel.
