Abstract
Friction factor has been determined for CP aluminium and aluminium-zinc alloys using ring compression test at different temperatures from 303 K to 773 K. It is found that CP aluminium exhibits sticking whereas Al-Zn alloys do not exhibit sticking at elevated temperatures. Hot working of Al-Zn alloy is easier than that of CP aluminium at 773 K. As zinc content increases up to 10 wt% the friction factor decreases up to 0.02. © Indian Academy of Sciences.
