The W-coated CNTs (W-CNTs) were dispersed into Cu powders by magnetic stirring process and then the mixed powders were consolidated by spark plasma sintering to fabricate W-CNTs/Cu composites. The CNTs/Cu composites were fabricated using the similafprocesses. The friction coefficient and mass wear loss of W-CNTs/Cu and CNTs/Cu composites were studied. The results showed that the W-CNT content, interfacial bonding situation, and applied load could influence the friction coefficient and wear loss of W-CNTs/Cu com- posites. When the W-CNT content was 1.0 wt.%, the W-CNTs/Cu composites got the minimum friction coefficient and wear loss, which were decreased by 72.1% and 47.6%, respectively, compared with pure Cu specimen. The friction coefficient and wear loss of W-CNTs/Cu composites were lower than those of CNTs/Cu composites, which was due to that the interracial bonding at (W-CNTs)-Cu interface was better than that at CNTs-Cu interface. The friction coefficient of composites did not vary obviously with increasing applied load, while the wear loss of composites increased significantly with the increase of applied load.展开更多

The results show that the friction coefficient increase then decrease with increase of connecting loading as well as decreases with increase of friction speed, and the wear loss mass increases with increase of connecting loading and friction speed. As a result, the wear failure form of CuAlBi alloy is mainly ploughing.展开更多

Four kinds composites with different compositions were produced, and the mechanical properties and electrical wear performance were investigated. The results showed that the composite added with carbon nanotubes had a higher hardness and strength, a lower contact voltage drop and an excellent anti-wear property in electrical sliding wear, because of the reinforcement ability of carbon nanotubes. Adding graphite to the composite also decreased the wear loss and contact voltage drop, because graphite had an electrical current conducting ability which not only made the current pass the lubricating films easily but also eliminated and reduced the arc and spark effectively.展开更多
