Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess wear rate and mechanical properties of composites based on CuPb30 copper alloy reinforced with graphite particles and the attempt to replace scarce tin in bearing bronzes with graphite particles. Composites were prepared using the method of mechanical mixing. Composite suspensions, as well as matrix alloy were gravity cast into metal and shell moulds. The effect of sample load on the amount of wear and mechanical properties of the tested materials were determined.
