Additionally, the friction and wear behaviors as well as the wear mechanism of the Cu-based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping. The results indicated that the Cu-based friction composite containing 30wt% ODS Cu exhibited the highest hardness and shear strength. The average and instantaneous friction coefficient curves of this sample, when operated in a high-speed train at a speed of 300 km/h, were similar to those of a commercial disc brake pad produced by Knorr-Bremse AG (Germany). Additionally, the lowest linear wear loss of the obtained samples was (0.008 ± 0.001) mm per time per face, which is much lower than that of the Knorr-Bremse pad ((0.01 ± 0.001) mm). The excellent performance of the developed pad is a consequence of the formation of a dense oxide composite layer and its close combination with the pad body.展开更多

In this method, the microstructure and grain refining performance of the TiB2/A1 composites were characterized by optical morphology (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spec- trometer (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Microstructural observations show a decreasing trend in the grain size of the composites due to the ultrasound and the content of TiB2 particles in the composites. Compared with the process without ultrasound, the morphology and ag- glomeration of TiB2 particles are improved by high-in- tensity ultrasound. Meanwhile, it is proposed that the formation of TiBz particles occurs via the transformation from TiA13, and at the optimal amount of the reactants, the conversion efficiency of TiA13 into TiB2 almost reaches up to 100 %. Finally, the effects of high-intensity ultrasound and TiB2 particles on the mechanical properties of the TiB2/A1 composites were also discussed.展开更多
