CONTACTING FATIGUE FAILURE OF Cu-22%Pb PLAIN BEARING ALLOY

The results of the contacting fatigue tests for Cu-22%Pb plain bearing alloy show that the fa- tigue failure behavior of the alloy is related to the distribution of Pb particles.Both the addi- tions of mischmetal and sulphur can refine the Pb particles.However,mischmetal improves and sulphur deteriorates the fatigue property of the alloy.
