Abstract

Al-Sn alloys are preferred for bearing materials where an excellent lubricity with proper wear resistance is necessary. In the current paper, the key issues and improvements of Al-Sn-X (X=Bi, Mg, Si, Cu, Pb) alloys are outlined. Effect of ternary alloying element (X) on microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties for Al-Sn alloys are reviewed in brief. Implementation and further development of Al-Sn-X alloys are to be underway.

Keywords: Al-Sn alloy; Microstructure; Mechanical properties; Tribological properties
