Abstract
This paper reports on the fabrication of MoS_2-dispersed Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy composite by the compression shearing method. The friction coefficient, wear width and vickers hardness of MoS_2-dispersed aluminum composite are investigated. The compression shearing method was carried out at room temperature in an atmosphere. To examine the friction properties, friction tests were carried out by the pin-on-disk method. The pin used was made of stainless steel (SUS304), and had a spherical surface of 4mm diameter in the head. The conditions of friction test were 0.2N, 1.7mm/s. The result shows the addition of MoS_2 to matrix systems reduces the friction coefficient.
