Abstract

In order to research the mechanism of influence of SnSb grain on the tribological properties of Babbitt alloy, simplified models of coarse grain, refined grain and refined grain with passivated shape among Babbitt microstructure were established according to the SnSb phase grain size and shape was measured in the experiment. The strain, stress, contact stress and friction stress during the contact of ball and disk friction pairs were simulated by Workbench software. The simulation result that strain, stress, friction stress and contact stress of Babbitt alloy was gradually decrease with the change of grain size and shape during the sliding process. Moreover, the refined and round shape SnSb grian effect of Babbitt alloy tribological peoperties was the most obvious.
