Effect of the Addition of Rare Earth Element La on the Tribological Behaviour of AlSi5Cu1Mg Alloy
The effects of 0, 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 wt % modifier La on the dry sliding wear behaviours of AlSi5Cu1Mg alloy were investigated under different friction conditions (normal loads, sliding velocities) by using pin-on-disc configuration. The microhardness of the alloys was tested, and it was found that th...
