RESEARCH ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SOME ALUMINUM-BASED ALLOYS

The mechanical properties of Al-Si alloys have been investigated. Abrasion wear resistance is an important analysis being used in various applications so there are many laboratory testing methods to determine it. In this article, we've looked at one of the ways to determine wear resistance using a scratch tester as a relatively easy, efficient, and fast test method. Materials used in the tests were: Al-Si (Al 94.30; Si 2.24, Fe 0.84) alloy. The coefficient of friction and wear of the samples were determined both by the methods of testing the wear and by investigating them in correlation with their mechanical properties.
