Abstract
The tribological characteristics of sintered tin bronze with additions of oxides of aluminum and nickel have been studied. The addition of ultrafine particles of alumina or the mixture of alumina and nickel oxide to sintered tin bronze reduces the coefficient of friction, the temperature in the friction zone and the volume wear rate of the rubbing surfaces. The average coefficient of friction of the material does not change substantially over time. During wear, the chipping of oxide microparticles was observed, which led to a change in the roughness of the working surfaces. The presence of Motor Life Professional additive in oil reduces coefficient of friction, the temperature in the friction zone, and the volume wear rate of rubbing surfaces.
