Abstract

Alternative Hot-Pressing can provide in one-step process higher density, microstructure and properties improvement of sintered-metal friction components. In the previous research presented in Euro PM 2018, the influence of hot-pressing parameters on the density, microstructure and mechanical properties of copper-based friction materials was presented. The results showed that optimum conditions of hot pressing are unique for each composition. Hot pressing enhances the densification of samples, taking place at much lower temperature (<200 °C) than conventional processing. It was also proved that powder granulation is an effective way to avoid the presence of different densification areas along the inner section of the samples. In the present wok, tribological and wear tests have been carried out on a pin-on-disc system at different loads and sliding speeds. Results show that the friction behavior, especially wear resistance, is also improved by the use of hot-pressing as single-step process.
