    A comparative study on tribological behavior between metal and polymeric composites used to repair bronze made parts in dry reciprocating sliding tests
    (2017-03-01) Iliuţǎ V.; Ripǎ M.; Javorova J.; Andrei G.
    The paper presents the researches on tribological behaviour of two materials used for parts subjected to friction, under dry sliding conditions. The composite material is a product of the company Diamant Metallplastic GmbH, Germany and the manufacturer recommend it for repairing or reconditioning worn or damaged bronze made parts. The material belongs to Multimetall category, which is a highly resistant 2-component repair system. This polymer composite material was tribologically tested in dry friction reciprocating conditions, in ball-on-flat configuration, using the tribometer UMT-2 (Bruker, former CETR). The counterpiece was a steel ball. Typical test conditions were as follows: normal loads of 20, 30, 40 and 50 N, sliding distance of 100 m, stroke length of 5mm, average sliding speed of 3,5 mm/s, room temperature and relative humidity of 50-60%. After testing, wear tracks were examined by electronic microscopy (SEM), laser profilometry and the profilometric module of the tribometer CETR-UMT-2. The results of the composite material analysis were compared with the similar ones obtained under similar test conditions for the bronze (metal material).
