Axial movement of the crankshaft is controlled by two half thrust washer position both side of Centre main bearing. In this work tribological behavior of aluminum base and copper base material of crankshaft thrust washer studied. The aim of the research presented in this paper is focused on finding out the wear and coefficient of friction of bearing materials under lubricated conditions and suggest the suitability of the thrust washer bearing material fitted to the crankshaft. The Aluminum and Copper base bearing material is to be tested two loads and three critical speeds for a governed period of time. The results obtained from the experiment are analyzed and the effect of load and speed on both the bearing materials along with wear trends obtained with respect to time is studied and suitable thrust washer bearing material is chosen.
