Аннотация:The effect of the introduction of additives of low-melting alloying elements in antifriction aluminumalloys on a change in the surface after tribological tests is estimated. Compositions are described andsample preparation is performed. For the study, a combination of electron microscopy methods (with elementalanalysis) and probe microscopy (with the modes of spreading current and thermal-conductivity analysis)are used. It is shown that after heat treatment, the phase components acquire a globular shape in bothalloys. Grain deformation, soft phase release to the surface, and mass transfer take place during the frictionprocess. The hard phase components of the shoe material act as an abrasive, while mass transfer forms a filmof secondary structures of variable thickness on the roller (under certain conditions, the film becomes thicker,which can lead to scuffing). The analysis of sections allows the presence of a near-surface layer (50–100 μmthick) with a modified structure to be established. The SPM method is used to establish that the thermal conductivitymap at the micro level correlates with the electrical conductivity map. X-ray structural analysis ofthe surfaces carried out before and after tribological tests showed that the lattice spacing decreased, latticedeformation increased, and texture appeared.
