AB  - Nanocomposites were synthesized via compocasting using Zn25Al3Si and Zn25Al3Si0.03Sr alloys as the matrices and nanoparticles of Al2O3 (1 wt%) as the reinforcement. Structure of the nanocomposites was examined, and their basic mechanical and tribological properties were tested. Distribution of primary silicon particles in the structure of nanocomposites has been improved compared to their distribution in the Zn25Al3Si matrix alloy due to the presence of Al2O3 nanoparticles and strontium. The primary silicon particles in the structure of the nanocomposites were found to be more fine-grained compared to the same particles in the structure of the as-cast Zn25Al3Si alloy. Tested mechanical properties of the nanocomposite with Zn25Al3Si alloy matrix are improved, compared to the matrix alloy. The nanocomposite with Zn25Al3Si0.03Sr alloy matrix is characterized with slightly higher value of compressive yield strength and a slightly lower hardness value compared to the as-cast Zn25Al3Si alloy. Both nanocomposites showed lower wear rate and higher coefficient of friction, compared to the matrix alloy, in sliding under the boundary lubricating regime. However, the nanocomposite with Zn25Al3Si alloy matrix showed better tribological properties than the nanocomposite with Zn25Al3Si0.03Sr alloy matrix.

AB  - The ZA-27 alloy is a zinc-aluminium casting alloy that has been frequently used as the material for sleeves of plain bearings. It has good physical, mechanical and tribological properties. However, one of the major disadvantages is its dimensional instability over a period of time (ageing). To overcome this, copper in the alloy may be replaced with silicon. Coarsening of silicon particles can be controlled by a suitable addition of strontium. In this paper, the commercial ZA-27 alloy and six different Zn25Al alloys (with 1 and 3 wt.% silicon; and with 0, 0.03 and 0.05 wt.% strontium) were obtained by casting in the pre-heated steel mould. Casting of the alloys was carried out at a laboratory level. In the alloys containing silicon, a finer dendritic structure was noticed compared to the structure of the commercial ZA-27 alloy. The addition of strontium influenced the size and distribution of primary silicon particles. Needle-like particles of eutectic silicon were changed into the fibrous ones. The presence of silicon and strontium did not significantly affect mechanical properties of the obtained Zn25Al alloys compared to mechanical properties of the commercial ZA-27 alloy. Wear rate of the alloys containing silicon was lower than that of the ZA-27 alloy. The addition of strontium further lowers the wear rate and slightly increases the coefficient of friction.
