Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The mechanical and tribological characteristics are important in applications such as bearing linings, bushings, and electrical contacts. In the current experiment, copper-chromium matrix composites reinforced with graphite (Gr.)-boron carbide (BC) [at 1.5, 3, and 4.5 wt%] were made using powder metallurgy (P/M) process. As reinforcements, equal amounts of Gr and BC were utilized. The microstructural characteristics of the sintered composites have been investigated using analytical techniques such as EDS mapping analysis, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The composites with a copper matrix displayed a homogeneous distribution of the reinforcement phase within the material. The pin-on-disc tribometer was used to conduct dry sliding wear tests with loads ranging from 10 to 40 N, sliding speeds of 1-3 m s, and fixed sliding distances of 2 km. The hardness is 97.3 HV with 3 wt% of each graphite and BC reinforcement, which is 70.1% harder than pure copper (57.2 HV). It has been discovered that the wear rate and COF of composites decrease as the quantity of reinforcing rises—the composite with 4.5 wt% graphite and 4.5 wt% BC exhibits the least amount of wear. The wear rate showed a rising trend with the applied load and sliding velocity across every material. The study of the deteriorated surface also reveals that delamination is the primary wear mechanism for pure Cu specimens. BC and graphite-reinforced composites have been subjected to abrasives, oxidative and delamination wear modes.
