Abstract
Lead-free FeS/Cu-Bi (FCB) self-lubricating composites were prepared via shift-speed ball milling (SSBM) and powder metallurgy. The microstructure and evolution of mixed powders were studied, and the mechanical and tribological properties of the FCB composites were tested. SSBM includes long-term low-speed ball milling (LSBM) and short-term high-speed ball milling (HSBM). In the early LSBM, the matrix phase CuSn10 powder was flattened into flakes, and the lubricating phases FeS and Bi were refined and gradually dispersed on the CuSn10 flakes. After short-term HSBM, FeS and Bi were further trapped on the CuSn10 flakes, which not only improved the bonding performance between the lubricating phase and copper alloy but also protected the continuity of the copper alloy matrix from additional damage. 6 + 1 h SSBM (6 h LSBM + 1 h HSBM) improved the mechanical properties, antifriction and wear resistance of FCB composites. Compared with traditional HSBM, SSBM provides a new way to prepare FCB self-lubricating composites with better comprehensive properties.
