This research work address the fabrication of copper (Cu) matrix composites, reinforced with fly ash (FA) particulates with 3, 6, 9 and 12 wt.% using the powder metallurgy route. The microstructural, physical, electrical, thermal, mechanical and tribological properties of thus fabricated Cu-FA composites have been studied. Optical microstructural characterization of the composites exposed persuasively uniform distribution of FA reinforcement with minimum porosity. The mixed powder SEM images revealed the homogeneous dispersion of fly ash particulates in the copper matrix. The hardness values showed improvement with increase in the weight percentage of FA in the Cu matrix. Electrical conductivity was measured using the four-point probe method at room temperature. Thermal conductivity was measured with a thermal diffusivity analyzer at room temperature. The fly ash addition leads to weakening the conductivity of Cu-FA composites. The tribological properties of Cu-FA composite specimens were investigated using a Pin-on-disc tribo testing machine against an EN81 steel contour disc. The specific wear rate of the composites tended first to decrease, which was attributed mainly to the formation of a mechanically mixed layer on the worn surface. Then it would increase as the FA content increased because of reduction in ductility and brittle oxide cracks associated with adding more FA particulates. It seems that composites with FA percentages below 9wt.% have optimum properties of microstructure, hardness and wear resistance, which is suitable for applications such as electrical sliding contacts, electrical discharge machining and spot welding electrodes.

The paper presents the results of tribological research on AlSi12CuNiMg/5.7 wt.% Gr aluminium composite material (containing graphite particles in the amount of 5.7% wt.%) and on its matrix. This composite is used as high-tech construction material in the automotive industry, particularly for pistons, cylinder liners, and slide bearings. The tribological properties of these materials can be significantly changed as a result of the introduction of graphite particles. Therefore, wear tests have been carried out using the ball-on-disc tribometer. Microstructure and wear resistance of the matrix and composite alloy have been subjected to comparative analysis. It was demonstrated that the composite reinforced with graphite is characterized by a lower friction coefficient and lower wear in comparison to the matrix.

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań tribologicznych aluminiowego materiału kompozytowego AlSi12CuNiMg/5.7 wt.% Gr (zawierającego cząsteczki grafitu w ilości 5,7% wag.) i jego osnowy. Kompozyt ten znajduje zastosowanie jako nowoczesny materiał konstrukcyjny w przemyśle motoryzacyjnym, szczególnie na tłoki, tuleje cylindrowe i łożyska ślizgowe. Wprowadzenie cząstek grafitu znacząco może zmieniać właściwości tribologiczne tych materiałów. W tym celu wykonano testy zużycia na tribometrze typu kula-tarcza. Mikrostruktura i odporność na zużycie stopu osnowy i kompozytu zostały poddane analizie porównawczej. Wykazano, że kompozyt zbrojony grafitem charakteryzuje się mniejszym współczynnikiem tarcia i mniejszym zużyciem w porównaniu z osnową.
