DEVELOPMENT OF Fe-Cu-Pb-C SERIES MATERIALS

The range of sintering temperature of Fe-Cu-Pb-C series alloy and the inflences of copper addition on the properties of alloy have been decided by experiments. Lead as a sort of solid lubricant can be used to improve the wear resistance of Fe-C series alloy. Although the addition of lead decreases the strengh of the alloy, the addition of copper can effectively control the decrease of strength.
