Abstract
The Cu-Ni alloys have been extensively used in the chemical and marine conditions for ship-building, the food industry, the beverage industry, power stations, the chemical industry, heat exchange equipment, air conditioning plant, brake lines, brake tubes, and oil rigs and platforms [1]. Composites of Cu-Ni with graphite/ Ag/ TiC/CaF/graphite, have already been developed through powder metallurgy [2, 3]. However, the synergetic effect of reinforcement of TiC/ CaF2 for improving the mechanical and tribological properties of Cu-Ni alloy has not been investigated till date.
