Tribological behaviour of self-lubricating Mg matrix …
In this study, magnesium matrix composites reinforced with 5 wt% WS 2 and 15–20 wt% SiC particles were sintered via powder processing. The friction and wear behaviour were studied using a ball-on-disc tribometer against Al 2 O 3 ball, subjected to normal loads of 1–4 N, room temperature and 110 °C, sliding speed of 22.5 mm/s, and lubricant of PAO base oil.
