Dry sliding wear behavior of cast Mg-11Y-5Gd-2Zn magnesium alloy

Dry sliding wear tests on as-cast and cast＋T6 Mg-11Y-5Gd-2Zn magnesium alloys were performed using a ball-on-plate configuration. The wear rates were measured within a load range of 3-15 N, sliding speed range of 0.03-0.24 m/s, test temperature range of 25-200 °C and at a constant sliding distance of 400 m. The wear tracks, worn surfaces and wear debris of the alloys were analyzed using scanning electron microscope （SEM）. The results show that the wear rate of the alloys increases almost linearly with increasing applied load and decreases with increasing sliding speed. The wear rate of the as-cast alloy is higher than that of the cast＋T6 alloy. The amount of Mg12Y1Zn1 phase, surface oxidation and retained wear debris affect the wear rate. The dominant wear mechanisms under the test condition are abrasion and plastic deformation.

Tribological properties and thermal-stress analysis of C/C-SiC composites during braking

The tribological properties and thermal-stress behaviors of C/C-SiC composites during braking were investigated aiming to simulate braking tests of high-speed trains. The temperature and structural fields of C/C-SiC composites during braking were fully coupled and simulated with ANSYS software. The results of tribological tests indicated that the C/C-SiC composites showed excellent static friction coefficient (0.68) and dynamic friction coefficient (average value of 0.36). The highest temperature on friction surface was 445℃. The simulated temperature field showed that the highest temperature which appeared on the friction surface during braking was about 463℃. Analysis regarding thermal-stress field showed that the highest thermal-stress on friction surface was 11.5 MPa. The temperature and thermal-stress distributions on friction surface during braking showed the same tendency.

Structural characteristics and high-temperature tribological behaviors of laser cladded NiCoCrAlY−B_(4)C composite coatings on Ti6Al4V alloy

In order to improve the hardness and tribological performance of Ti6Al4V alloy,NiCoCrAlY-B_(4)C composite coatings with B_(4)C of 5%,10%and 15%(mass fraction)were fabricated on its surface by laser cladding(LC).The morphologies,chemical compositions and phases of obtained coatings were analyzed using scanning electronic microscope(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS),and X-ray diffraction(XRD),respectively.The effects of B_(4)C mass fraction on the coefficient of friction(COF)and wear rate of NiCoCrAlY-B_(4)C coatings were investigated using a ball-on-disc wear tester.The results show that the NiCoCrAlY-B_(4)C coatings with different B_(4)C mass fractions are mainly composed of NiTi,NiTi_(2),α-Ti,CoO,AlB_(2),TiC,TiB and TiB_(2)phases.The COFs and wear rates of NiCoCrAlY-B_(4)C coatings decrease with the increase of B_(4)C content,which are contributed to the improvement of coating hardness by the B_(4)C addition.The wear mechanisms of NiCoCrAlY-B_(4)C coatings are changed from adhesive wear and oxidation wear to fatigue wear with the increase of B_(4)C content.

Wear mechanism for spray deposited Al-Si/SiC_p composites under dry sliding condition

Al-Si/15%SiCp(volume fraction) composites with different silicon contents were fabricated by spray deposition technique, and typical microstructures of these composites were studied by optical microscopy(OM). Dry sliding wear tests were carried out using a block-on-ring wear machine to investigate the effect of applied load range of 10-220 N on the wear and friction behavior of these composites sliding against SAE 52100 grade bearing steel. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis(EDAX) were utilized to examine the morphologies of the worn surfaces in order to observe the wear characteristics and investigate the wear mechanism. The results show that the wear behavior of these composites is dependent on the silicon content in the matrix alloy and the applied load. Al-Si/15%SiCp composites with higher silicon content exhibit better wear resistance in the applied load range. Under lower loads, the major wear mechanisms are oxidation wear and abrasive wear for all tested composites. Under higher loads, severe adhesive wear becomes the main wear mechanisms for Al-7Si/15%SiCp and Al-13Si/15%SiCp composites, while Al-20Si/15%SiCp presents a compound wear mechanism, consisting of oxidation, abrasive wear and adhesion wear.

Tribological behavior of CNTs-Cu and graphite-Cu composites with electric current

CNTs-Cu and graphite-Cu composites were separately prepared by powder metallurgy technique under the same consolidation processing. Tribological behavior of the composites with electric current was investigated by using a pin-on-disk friction and wear tester. The results show that the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites decrease with increasing the reinforcement content, and increase with increasing the electric current density; the effects of electric current are more obvious on tribological properties of graphite-Cu composites than on CNTs-Cu composites; for graphite-Cu composites the dominant wear mechanisms are electric arc erosion and adhesive wear, while for CNTs-Cu composites are adhesive wear.

Effects of environment on dry sliding wear behavior of silver-copper based composites containing tungsten disulfide

Silver based composites containing different amounts of WS2were prepared by hot-pressing method and their tribologicalbehaviors were investigated against coin silver under humid air,dry nitrogen and vacuum on a ball-on-disk tester with normal load of5N.The components of composites,microstructure of debris and worn surface were characterized using XRD SEM,EDS and XPS.It is demonstrated that environmental conditions significantly affect the tribological behavior of silver based composites.The frictioncoefficient is the highest in humid air,and the lowest in dry nitrogen.It is found that the friction and wear behavior of the compositesare strongly depended on the characteristics of the lubrication film forming in different operating environments,such as thicknessand composition.In addition,it is indicated that the dominant wear mechanisms of silver based composites are abrasive wear anddelamination under different conditions.

Wear behavior and dry sliding tribological properties of ultra-fine grained Al5083 alloy and boron carbide-reinforced Al5083-based composite at room and elevated temperatures

Tribological behavior and wear mechanisms of mechanically milled Al5083 alloy and Al5083−5wt.%B4C composite at room temperature and 200°C were discussed.Results revealed that due to the oxidative wear at room temperature,a mechanically mixed layer(MML)was formed to protect the surface of the samples.Under 80 N of load at room temperature,the milled Al5083 and the Al5083−5wt.%B4C samples showed evidence of abrasion with limited volume loss.In this case,the wear rates were 5.8×10−7 and 4.4×10−7 mm3/(m·N),respectively.At 200°C and under 80 N of applied load,severe wear occurred in the milled Al5083 sample,and wear rate reached 10.8×10−7 mm3/(m·N)while the Al5083−5wt.%B4C sample showed mild wear with local 3-body abrasion and the wear rate reached 5.3×10−7 mm3/(m·N).Strengthening mechanisms such as dislocation pinning and the Hall−Petch theory,high hardness and the load transfer effect were crucial in determining the wear behavior of the Al5083−5wt.%B4C composite.On the other hand,the milled Al5083 sample represented a relatively high wear rate at 200°C,which seemed to be related to the local grain growth and a drop in its hardness.

Effects of TiB_2+TiC content on microstructure and wear resistance of Ni55-based composite coatings produced by plasma cladding

TiB2-TiC reinforced Ni55 matrix composite coatings were in-situ fabricated via plasma cladding on steels using Ti, B4C, and Ni55 as precursor materials at different proportions. Effects of TiB2+TiC content of ceramics phase on the microstructure and wear resistance were studied. The results showed that ceramic phases TiB2 and TiC were in-situ synthesized by plasma cladding, and the ceramic phase content significantly affected tribological performance and the wear mechanism of coatings under different loads. The composite ceramics protected coatings from further delamination wear by crack-resistance under a load of 30 N. Severe abrasive wear and adhesive wear were prevented when the load increased to 60 N because of the high hardness and strength of ceramic phases. Moreover, a compacted layer appeared on the wear surface of coatings with high content of ceramic phases, which effectively decreased the friction coefficient and wear rate. The TiB2-TiC composite ceramics significantly improved the wear performance of metal matrix composite coatings by different mechanisms under loads of 30 and 60 N.

Effect of applied load on transition behavior of wear mechanism in Cu-15Ni-8Sn alloy under oil lubrication

Tribological behavior of Cu-15Ni-8Sn(mass fraction, %) alloy against GCr15 ring under various loads was investigated on a ring-on-block tester in oil lubrication. The results showed that the wear rate increased slowly from 1.7×10^(-7) to 9.8× 10^(-7) mm^3/mm under the load lower than 300 N, and then increased dramatically to the climax of 216×10^(-7) mm^3/mm under the load over 300 N, which indicated the transition of wear mechanism with the increase of applied load. The wear mechanism mainly was plastic deformation and abrasive wear under the load less than 300 N. As the applied load was more than 300 N, the wear mechanism of Cu-15Ni-8Sn alloy primarily was delamination wear. Besides, the transition can also be confirmed from the different morphologies of worn surface, subsurface and wear debris. It is distinctly indicated that the appearance of flaky debris at the applied load over 300 N may be a critical point for the change of wear mechanism.

ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of 125 nm were prepared via homogeneous precipitation method and were characterized by SEM.The products were surface-modified by the surfactant SDS.Surface-modified nano particles were added at a mass ratio of 1.0%,2.0%,3.0%,and 4.0%,respectively,in base oil and their friction and wear behaviors were evaluated on a MRS-10D type four-ball wear tester.After four-ball wear tests,the morphology of the rubbing surfaces was evaluated with metallographic microscope.It was revealed that the modified nano ZnO had excellent behavior for improving anti-wear property and friction coefficient,which could greatly reduce the friction of machine parts.

The Effect of Counter-face Roughness on the Tribological Behavior of Filled and Unfilled PTFE

Since the wear problems play a crucial role in the relatively moving systems, in this paper, the effect of counter-face roughness on the wear of extruded PTFE （polytetrafluoroethylene） which is a very common material for sliding bearing applications has been investigated to contribute related literature. PTFE is well-known for its exceptional tribological properties, and good toughness, and high thermal stability. It can also be used in dry sliding applications. PTFE is commonly used to reduce friction between relatively moving surfaces, lts wear rate can be reduced by adding micro or nano-sized fillers such as Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, MoS2, Al, Pb, ZnO, Cu, ZrO2, Ni, CNF （carbon nano fiber）, carbon fiber, glass fiber, bronze, and graphite powder into the PTFE. In this study, an experimental research was carried out for filled and unfilled PTFE to compare their behaviors under different speeds and loads. Test materials were unfilled PTFE, PTFE ＋ wt. 5% Al2O3, PTFE ＋ wt. 15% Al2O3. Formation of transfer film was examined in dry sliding condition against stainless steel counter faces. All tribological tests were carried out in a commercially available tribo-tester sliding against AISI-416 C stainless steel. As a result of a series of systematic experiments, remarkable results have been obtained to make a distinctive comparison between unfilled and filled PTFE. The variation of friction coefficient with sliding distance during the tests has also been recorded. At the end of the tests, wear rate of related PTFE specimen was calculated based on measured data. Wear rate is found very high for unfilled PTFE, however, the lowest wear rate is recorded for PTFE ＋ wt. 15% Al2O3 as expected. The coefficient of friction remained approximately stable during the wear tests. Transfer films were inspected by observing the discs＇ surface with optical microscope.

Effect of sintering temperature on structure and tribological properties of nanostructured Ti-15Mo alloy for biomedical applications

The effect of sintering temperature(1073?1373 K)on the structural and tribological properties of nanostructured ballmilledβ-type Ti?15Mo samples was investigated.The prepared samples were characterized using various apperatus such as X-ray diffractometer,scanning electron microscope(SEM)and ball-on-plate type oscillating tribometer.Wear tests were conducted under different applied loads(2,8 and 16 N).Structural results showed that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach the lowest values of 4 nm and 29 nm at 1373 K,respectively.The relative density of the sintered sample at 1373 K was as high as 97.0%.Moreover,a higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density,greater hardness and elastic modulus of the sample.It was observed that both the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the sample sintered at 1373 K which was attributed to the closed porosity.

Friction and Wear Behavior of GCr15 Under Multiple Movement Condition

Friction and wear of GCr15 under cross-sliding condition is tested on a ball-on-disc wear test machine. Thisresult shows that the cross-sliding of friction pair leads to different friction and wear behavior. For the condition de-scribed in this paper, the friction coefficients with ball reciprocating are smaller than that without ball reciprocating.The friction coefficients increase with the increase of reciprocating frequency.. The wear weight loss of the ball sub-jected reciprocating sliding decreases, however, the wear weight loss of disc against the reciprocating ball increases. Incross-sliding friction, the worn surfaces of the ball show crinkle appearance along the circumferential sliding traces.Delaminating of small strip debris is formed along the plowing traces on the disc worn surface. The plowing furrow onthe disc surfaces looks deeper and wider than that without reciprocating sliding. The size of wear particles fromcross-sliding wear is larger than those without reciprocating sliding.

Frictional behaviors of rough soft contact on wet and dry pipeline surfaces:With application to deepwater pipelaying

Elastic rubbers are widely used in nature and engineering.In order to better understand soft rough contact under dry and wet conditions during deepwater pipelaying process,various polyurethane(PU)discs both in PU-pipe and PU-steel sliding combinations have been investigated by using self-developed tribometer.The tribological test results show that the friction coefficient can be clearly seen:PU90<PU80<PU70,under dry conditions.Experimental results also indicate that the two dramatic increases of the frictional coefficient exist in the rough soft PU-pipe contact.The potential influence of asperities and thin liquid film is discussed.

Investigation on tribological behaviors of the modified UHMWPE with different structures of Schiff base copper complexes

Investigation on the law of tribological modifying activity influenced by structure of additives will make prediction and design of materials tribological behaviors possible.Four types of diamine Schiff base Cu(II)complexes as additives for modifying UHMWPE are synthesized,they are respectively:Cu(II)complex with ethlenediamion-N,N′-bis(salicylidene),Cu(II)complex with 1,6-hexanediamine-N,N′-bis(salicylidene),Cu(II)complex with 1,2-cyclohexanediamion-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)and Cu(II)complex with 1,2-phenylendiamion-N,N′-bis(salicylidene).Friction coefficient of the modified UHMWPE/Ti6Al4V is studied using a reciprocating friction and wear tester between line/surface contacts sliding in reciprocating under the condition of boundary lubrication with 25 vol% calf serum deionized water solution,at the same time volume loss of wear of the polymers is measured.3D topographies of the worn surfaces of the polymers and images of the worn surfaces of titanium alloys against the polymers are investigated respectively by CWLM and SEM.How the structural unit R of Schiff base copper complexes in the modified UHMWPE influences their tribological modifying activity is also discussed.Results show that the smaller the group R is,the higher the modifying activity is obtained,and the open chain is more reactive than that of alkyl and aromatic ring.Therefore,the Cu(II)complex with ethlenediamion-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)has the highest tribological modifying activity as its R group is the smallest and open.
