V. CONCLUSIONS
From the abo ove following inference is drawn;
d
(i)) Wear ratee of sintereed componen nt increases if tin
percentagee is increased more than 10 0% at same siintering
temperaturre.
(iii) Wear rate of sintered coomponent deccreases with in ncrease
in sinteringg temperaturee for same com mposition of tin and
copper.
(iiii) Porosity off sintered com
mponent decreeases with incrrease in
sintering teemperature.
(ivv) Porosity off sintered commponent decreeases with incrrease in
tin percen ntage for saame sintering g temperaturre and
compaction n pressure.
