By applying new warm compaction forming technology of wood power developed through material forming theories in some interdisciplines such as applied science of wood and powder metallurgy, cotton stalk powder (CSP) was used as base material to prepare CSP/Al composite material of which the modulus of rupture and internal bond strength could be up to 83.95MPa and 6.82MPa respectively, wear resistance was 0.05g/100r and water absorption &le0.65%. The sliding bearings made of the composite materials had a crushing strength and an apparent hardness up to 91.22MPa and HB51.1 separately. They are ex...
