Abstract
The dry or unlubricated sliding friction and wear properties of as-cast and annealed BMG (bulk metallic glass) with nominal composition of Fe 66.7C 7.0Si 3.3B 5.5P 8.7Cr 2.3Al 2.0Mo 4.5 against Si 3N 4 ceramic ball was studied, along with a conventional material, using a ball-on-disk tribotester at room temperature. The overall average coefficient of friction value of the as-cast BMG was in the range of 0.26-0.42, which was better than the conventional material SUJ2 (0.36-0.46) and comparable with SUS304 (0.31-0.40). The wear mechanism of the Fe-based BMG changed with wear condition. The wear rate increased with increasing load. The hardness of the BMG increased during annealing, however, the wear resistance did not increase proportionally.
