Abstract
Aluminum alloy based FRM (Fiber Reinforced Metal) has been implanted with nitrogen ions in order to investigate the effects of implantation on the tribological properties of the FRM. An SiC whisker reinforced aluminum alloy has been chosen as the specimen. The non-mass-analyzed nitrogen ions were implanted up to 10 18 |N/cm 2 at 90 kV using a Z-100 implanter. The friction and wear tests were made using a wheel on plate type testing machine at various friction loads. Appreciable improvements in friction and wear properties are revealed in an oil lubrication condition. The nitrogen implantation suppresses the adhesive wear between the FRM specimen and the stainless steel wheel.
