Abstract
Recently, the authors have worked on the surface modification by a rubbing technique to improve wear resistance. In this method, hard particles are embedded into a bulk material by friction. The bulk material embedded with hard particles is expected to possess excellent wear resistance. In this research, an aluminum alloy (duralumin) and tungsten carbide (WC) were employed as the bulk material and the hard particles, respectively. Fretting tests were performed in both dry and oil-lubricated conditions. From the results, it was found that this method can improve the fretting wear properties.
