Finally,the prediction results are applied to a scratch experiment for the Pt/NiO material system given in the literature.展开更多

Analyses of the microstructure, scratch grooves, wear tracks, worn surfaces and wear debris of the alloy were carried out byoptical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The microstructural analysis showed that via rheo-processing, the primary Siwas refined and rounded, eutectics dispersed more homogenously, and even the skeleton AlFeMnSi phase was fragmented into facetshape. Micro-scratch test showed that the microstructural refinement resulted in better wear resistance. Dry sliding wear test revealedthat the rheo-processed sample exhibit obviously superior wear resistance because of the microstructure improvement. The dominantmechanism in mild wear condition is abrasion, but it turned to adhesion and oxidation in high applied load and fast sliding velocityconditions.展开更多
