Evaluation of Mechanical and Tribological Aspect of Self-Lubricating Cu-6Gr Composites Reinforced with SiC-WC Hybrid Particles.

ABSTRACT: Because of their high thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, and great mechanical qualities, copper matrix composites are appealing materials utilized in a variety of industries. This study investigates the mechanical properties of copper-graphite (Cu-Gr) matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and tungsten carbide (WC) particles by hot pressing using powder metallurgy method. The goal is to investigate the influence of the reinforcement ratio on the mechanical characteristics of copper composite materials generated (density, hardness, flexural strength, and wear resistance). SEM, EDS, and X-RD analysis were used to perform metallographic examinations. The highest relative density with a value of 98.558% was determined in the C3 sample. The findings revealed that
