The interrelation of the run-in ability of bronzes and aluminum-based antifriction alloys with their mechanical properties and degree of alloying.

Combined tests are carried out to determine the mechanical characteristics of pilot antifriction alloys based on aluminum and BrO4Ts4S17 commercial bronze; they are also tested in the laboratory tests for run-in ability. The interrelation of the mechanical characteristics of these pilot alloys with their run-in ability is determined. The interrelation of the mechanical characteristics of aluminum-based alloys with their run-in ability is considered for various degrees of alloying with hardening elements and elements that provide the presence of the soft structural constituent.
