Abstract

The creation and investigation of the wear resistance multicomponent surface layer on aluminium alloy W. Serbinski Technical University of Gdansk Mechanical Engineering Faculty Department of Materials Science and Engineering Poland Abstract There are many methods of surface consolidation of aluminium alloys. This paper is a presentation of the hybrid method of creation of (Mn-N-O) layer on aluminium alloy, its hardness and microstructure. The results of tribological investigations of AlSilOCu2MglNil alloy coated (Mn-N-O) layer with the perlite grey cast iron under sliding friction are shown. Increation of wear resistance in consolidated aluminium alloy surface by (Mn-N-O) layer is proved. 1 Introduction Aluminium alloys are the materials of choice when high-strength-to-weight ratios are required in structural components, and are used widely in the automotive and aerospace industries [1]. As an example, the use of aluminium components in the automobile industry has
