Abstract: The Fe‒C (0.8%C) raw materials were pressed and molded by powder metallurgy technology. The influence of end-face friction and wear condition on the PV limit of Fe‒C (0.8%C) moulding specimens was investigated. The results show that, under the conditions of 6.8 g/cm³ compact density and 200 N/(10 min) loading amplitude, when the friction speed is 0.2~0.8 m/s, the limit PV increases with the increase of friction speed. When the friction speed is 0.8 m/s, the limit PV reaches the maximum of 5.17 MPa·m·s^‒1. When the friction speed reaches 1.0 m/s, the biting can easily occur. Under the conditions of 6.8 g/cm³ compact density and 0.4 m/s friction speed, when the loading amplitude is 200~500 N/(10 min), the maximum limit PV is 4.73 MPa·m·s^‒1. Under the same friction speed, the smaller the loading amplitude, the closer the PV test result is to the true PV value. Under the conditions of 0.4 m/s friction speed and 200 N/(10 min) loading amplitude, when the compact density is 5.9~6.5 g/cm³, the PV value remains unchanged, all being 4.31 MPa·m·s^‒1. When the compact density is 6.8 g/cm³, the limit PV is 4.59 MPa·m·s^‒1, which increases slightly, mainly related to the roughness of the grinding mark surface.
