Abstract

Research in the present paper has highlighted the availability of using bronze coatings, obtained by electric arc spray (EAS) method, for the purpose of increasing the life time of materials tested for abrasive sliding wear. The experimental plan of the work includes the analysis of three types of samples: S1 (samples deposited with a CuAl 90-10 layer on a steel-type base material), S2 (casted sample from CuAl9 material) and S3 (bearing material sample). The sliding wear analysis were obtained on a specific testing machine in a lubricated environment (clean oil) at a preset loading, obtaining both the friction coefficient for each material type and the material loss for each sample. The results showed an average strength of the bronze coated sample (S1), its mechanical characteristics being higher to the other two analyzed samples.
