Abstract

Cu-Zn alloys in particular find wide application in architecture, electrical, mechanical, marine and plumbing equipment. We aim to study effect of heat treatment on the wear resistance of Cu-10% wt Zn alloy. The literature review which we have studied has given us an insight into various wear mechanisms, but it did not give any direct mathematical relation between grain size and wear or the effect of heat treatment on wear. Although there is Archard’s law, but it is for specific material and operating conditions. After sample preparation through casting, we have characterized our four samples using pin-on-disc test and the effect of heat treatment on our alloy Cu-10%wt Zn was studied.
