Abstract
Amorphous carbon (APC)/Al laminated composites were prepared by hydrothermal carbon adsorption on plates (HTCAP) and vacuum hot-press sintering process. The effect of the glucose solution concentration on the microstructure, mechanical properties and tribological properties was investigated. The results indicate that APC is uniformly distributed between layers and has good interfacial bonding with the matrix through the diffusion of Al. As the glucose solution concentration increases, the interlayer hardness, ultimate tensile strength and elongation first increase and then decrease, while the wear rate shows the opposite trend and the coefficient of friction (COF) gradually decreases. A maximum elongation of 16.4% and a minimum wear rate of 0.344×10−5 mm3/(N·m) are achieved at a glucose solution concentration of 0.3 mol/L. Adhesive wear is the dominant wear mechanism of APC/Al laminated composites. The improvement in wear resistance is attributed to the formation of uniform APC lubrication film on the wear surface.
