Influence of pH values on electroless Ni-P-SiC plating on AZ91D magnesium alloy

A novel Ni-P-SiC composite coating was prepared by electroless plating in order to improve the corrosion capacity and wear resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy.The influence of pH values on deposition rates and properties of the coatings was studied.The microstructure and phase structure of the Ni-P-SiC coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and X-ray diffractometry(XRD).The corrosion and wear resistance performances of the coatings were also investigated through electrochemical technique and pin-on-disk tribometer,respectively.The results indicate that the composite coating is composed of Ni, P and SiC.It exhibits an amorphous structure and good adhesion to the substrate.The coatings have higher open circuit potential than that of the substrate.The composite coating obtained at pH value of 5.2 possesses optimal integrated properties,which shows similar corrosion resistance and ascendant wear resistance properties to the substrate.

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.

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.

Study on Lubrication Properties of Modified Nano ZnO in Base Oil

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.

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.

Tribological performance of TiAlSiN and TiAlCrN/TiAlN coating blades

A new laboratory evaluation method for the coating blade was developed, and the tribological properties of coating blades with different Ti-based coatings were studied by UMT-2 tribometer. Comparison between the areas of scratches before and after the cutting experiment was used to evaluate the cutting performance of the blades. Results showed that friction coefficient of TiA1CrN/TiA1N coating was significantly lower than that of TiA1SiN coating. Analysis of the worn surface revealed that the TiA1SiN and TiAICrN/TiA1N coatings in the dry turning process exhibited sign of inhornogeneous adhesive wear and abrasive wear. TiA1CrN/TiA1N coating has a longer working life and better anti-wear property because of its duplex coating.

Effects of combined additions of SiO2 and MoS2 nanoparticles as lubricant additive on the tribological properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy

The tribological properties of combinative addition of nano-MoS2 and nano-SiO2 to the base oil have been investigated with a reciprocating ball-on-plate tribotester for magnesium alloy-steel contacts. The results demonstrate that the optimum mass ratio of nano-SiO2 to nano-MoS2 is 0.25：0.75. The optimum combinative addition into the base oil reduces the friction coefficient by 43.8% and the surface roughness （Sa） by 31.7% when compared to that found with the base oil. Meanwhile, the combinative addition of nano-MoS2 and nano-SiO〉 in comparison with single nanoparticles addition, is more pronounced in terms of the lubrication film stability. The excellent tribological properties of the SiO2/MoS2 combinations are attributed to the formation of physical adsorption films and tribochemical products during the rubbing process and the micro-cooperation of various nano- particles with different shapes and lubrication mechanisms.

Shear of molecular deposition films on glass substrates determined by tribometer

The ultrathin polyelectrolyte molecular deposition films and polyelectrolyte composite nanoparticles molecular deposition films were prepared using layer-by-layer molecular deposition method and in situ growth method.A micro-tribometer has been developed to measure the shear response of those ultrathin molecular deposition films.By using a smooth steel sphere in a ball-on-flat configuration,the shear force was determined for molecular deposition films on glass substrate for different layers.The results indicate that the shear behaviors of molecular deposition film were mainly determined with the contact area and film layers.Moreover,the composite molecular deposition film with nanoparticles has better shear behaviors than the polyelectrolyte molecular deposition film.The shear force of polyelectrolyte molecular deposition film is more dependent on the speed than that of composite nanoparticle molecular deposition film.

Friction and wear of textured surfaces produced by 3D printing

Surface texture patterns have great potential for improving tribological performance in terms of reducing friction and wear. The most common methods for surface texatring are laser and injection molding. The 3D printing method is also used to build parts, patterns, and molds that feature fine details for a wide range of applications because texture manufacturing by 3D printing is faster, more flexible, and less expensive than traditional techniques. To date, there has been no research on textured surfaces produced by 3D printing. Therefore, a new fabrication method using 3D printing to improve friction and wear properties is a topic worth exploring. In this study, a reciprocating friction tester was used to evaluate the friction and wear properties of different surface textures produced by 3D printing. The surface of specimens was examined by electron microscope and scanning electron microscope before and after the test. The results show that surface texturing can be applied to 3D printed parts to improve their friction and wear performance.

Assessment model for tribological property of ceramic/stainless steel rubbing pairs in H_2O_2 solution

The tribological properties of ZrO2 ceramic and 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel rubbing pairs were investigated using a special tribo-tester under different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution.The comparison analyses of the friction coefficients,worn volume rates,worn particles and surface roughness were conducted under the tested conditions.There were significant differences of the tribological properties of the rubbing pairs in the different concentrations H2O2 solution because of oxidation and corrosion.This research has revealed that the main wear mechanisms between the rubbing pairs are severe adhesive wear,abrasive wear and corrosive wear in the H2O2 solution with different concentrations.A model has been established to assess the most suitable concentration of the H2O2 solution for the tribological properties of the rubbing pairs.The result shows that 50% concentration of the H2O2 solution is the most suitable.The assessment result is consistent with the experimental result.It is believed that the knowledge gained in this study is useful for the optimization of the friction pairs in the extreme condition.

Structure and mechanical properties of pincers for freshwater lobster

The mineral phases and structure of pincer for the freshwater lobster were analyzed and observed by using X-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electronic microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and the mechanical properties of pincer were determined by using nano-indenter and micro-tribometer. The results showed that the pincers contained Ca, Mg, C, O, Na, etc. elements and there were many amorphous mineral phases in the lobster pincers. There were many concave hollows and convex domes with seta on the surface of pincer, and some spines were observed on the surface of seta, which exhibited non-smooth surface. The exoskeleton of pincer consisted of epicuticle, exocuticle and endocuticle, and the microstructure of exocuticle and endocuticle displayed the twisted plywood structure with chitin protein fibers. The mean hardness and elastic modulus on the surface of fresh pincers were 0.27 GPa and 5.28 GPa, respectively. With the increase in distance from the surface, the hardness and elastic modulus all decreased gradually. This indicated that the transition of hardness and elastic modulus occurred from exocuticle to endocuticle. When the heat treatment temperature was lower than 200°C, the values of hardness and elastic modulus fluctuated slightly, while they increased at the temperature beyond 200°C. As the pincers slid against Si3N4 balls in water and air, the friction coefficients in water were higher than those in air. The research could provide a bio-inspired basis for the structural design of composite materials and anti-friction surface.
