Abstract
In this study the effect of the content of <TEX>$TiB_2$</TEX> on wear properties was investigated. <TEX>$Cu-TiB_2$</TEX> composites have been fabricated by hot extrusion. Sliding wear tests were peformed by a pin-on-disk type wear test machine under dry condition and loads varied with from 20N to 80N at sliding speed 3.5Hz. The test results showed that the wear losses and the friction coefficients decreased with increasing <TEX>$Cu-TiB_2$</TEX> volume fraction and increasing the size of <TEX>$Cu-TiB_2$</TEX> particle. Wear property of <TEX>$10{\mu}m,\;5 vol\%\; TiB_2$</TEX> specimen was excellent all of the wear specimens. It is thought that the increase of plastic flow resistivity due to uniform distribution of <TEX>$10{\mu}m,\;5 vol\%\; TiB_2$</TEX> wear specimen would improve wear property. The worn surface and wear debris were examined by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.
