Abstract

In tribological applications, alloys based on copper, tin-lead is widely employed as material for journal bearing. For copper-based alloys, bronze and brass alloys are frequently utilized as journal bearing materials. Alloys of copper, tin and lead were developed using continuous die casting process. Prepared alloy were subjected to evaluate ultimate tensile strength, hardness, compression strength and Wear strength. Furthermore, a scanning electron microscope was used to study the surface morphology of the worn surface. A fine lead distribution produced by continuous casting favors micro cracking and quick, steady wear with minimal friction, whereas a coarse microstructure produced by sand casting encourages the creation of transfer layers. Wear is slower in this instance, but the friction coefficient is significantly higher.
