内燃机缸套—活塞环磨合性、可靠性、和耐久性的考核办法

缸套——活塞环是内燃机中主要配对摩擦付之一,也是工作条件最为恶劣、磨损最严重的摩擦付,它往往最容易导致内燃机出现故障。为了保证内燃机能长期而可靠地运转,我们必须严格控制缸套和活塞环的材料机械性能、金相组织、表面处理、尺寸公差、形位公差、表面粗糙度和外观质量……等,这些项目都可以通过产品的单项检验予以考核。但是,这些项目完全合乎技术要求的产品是否能确保内燃机长期而可靠地运转,这还需要经过专项试验和装机试验予以考核。

High-throughput studies and machine learning for design of β titanium alloys with optimum properties

Based on experimental data,machine learning(ML) models for Young's modulus,hardness,and hot-working ability of Ti-based alloys were constructed.In the models,the interdiffusion and mechanical property data were high-throughput re-evaluated from composition variations and nanoindentation data of diffusion couples.Then,the Ti-(22±0.5)at.%Nb-(30±0.5)at.%Zr-(4±0.5)at.%Cr(TNZC) alloy with a single body-centered cubic(BCC) phase was screened in an interactive loop.The experimental results exhibited a relatively low Young's modulus of(58±4) GPa,high nanohardness of(3.4±0.2) GPa,high microhardness of HV(520±5),high compressive yield strength of(1220±18) MPa,large plastic strain greater than 30%,and superior dry-and wet-wear resistance.This work demonstrates that ML combined with high-throughput analytic approaches can offer a powerful tool to accelerate the design of multicomponent Ti alloys with desired properties.Moreover,it is indicated that TNZC alloy is an attractive candidate for biomedical applications.

Microstructure,mechanical properties and dry wear resistance of β-type Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys for biomedical applications

In order to study the effect of element Nb on the microstructure and properties of the biomedical β-type Ti-Mo based alloys,Ti-15Mo-xNb（x=5,10,15 and 20 in %） alloys were investigated.The dry wear resistance of β-type Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys against Gr15 ball was investigated on CJS111A ball-disk wear instrument.Experimental results indicate that crystal structure and morphology of the Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys are sensitive to their Nb contents.Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys match those for β phase peaks and no any phases are found.The Vickers hardness values of all the Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys are higher than HV200.The compression yield strength of the Ti-15Mo-5Nb alloy is the lowest and that of the Ti-15Mo-10Nb alloy is the highest.For all the Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys,the friction coefficient is not constant but takes a higher value.In dry condition,SEM study reveals deep parallel scars on the wear surfaces of all the Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys under different loads.The friction coefficient of the Ti-15Mo-5Nb alloy under 1 N is the lowest.The wear principal mechanism for Ti-15Mo-xNb alloys is adhesive wear.

Wear behavior of SiC/PyC composite materials prepared by electromagnetic-field-assisted CVI

Silicon carbide/pyrolytic carbon (SiC/PyC) composite materials with excellent performance of self-lubrication and wear resistance were prepared on SiC substrates by electromagnetic-field-assisted chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The composition and microstructure of the SiC/PyC materials were investigated in detail by XRD, SEM and EDS, etc. The effects of the deposition temperature on the section features and wear resistance of the SiC/PyC were studied. The results show that the PyC layers were deposited onto SiC substrates spontaneously at a lower deposition temperature. The SiC substrates deposited with PyC can significantly reduce the wear rate of the self-dual composite materials under dry sliding condition. The wear tests suggest that the SiC/PyC composite materials own a better wear resistance property when the deposition temperature is 800 °C, and the wear rate is about 64.6% of that without the deposition of PyC.

Preparation and characterization of amorphous boron powder with high activity

The amorphous boron powders with high activity were prepared by the high-energy ball milling-combustion synthesis method. The effects of the milling rate and milling time on the crystallinity, microscopic morphology and reactivity of amorphous boron powder were studied. The results show that the crystallinity of amorphous nano-boron powder is only 22.5%, and its purity reaches 92.86%. The high-energy ball milling can significantly refine boron powder particle sizes, whose average particle sizes are smaller than 50 nm, and specific surface areas are of up to 70.03 m2/g. When the transmission electron beam irradiates the samples, they rapidly melt. It can be seen that the monomer amorphous boron size is less than 30 nm from the specimen melting traces, which indicates that the samples have high reactivity.

Effect of standard heat treatment on microstructure and properties of borided Inconel 718

Boronizing was applied to Inconel 718. In order to obtain the optimal combination of strength and ductility, the borided Inconel 718 was subjected to standard heat treatment. This consists of solution treatment and then a two-step aging treatment. The borided layer is composed of the compound layer and the boron diffusion zone. Because of the superior hardness of borides, the borided Inconel 718 exhibits a significant reduction in its wear rate and relatively low coefficient of friction （COF） compared with the unborided Inconel 718. The standard heat treatment efficiently promotes the diffusion of boron into the interior of the material and the generation of new borides （Fe2B, CrB）. The borided layer with standard heat treatment shows much better wear resistance due to the thicker borided layer （313.76 μm）.

In-situ synthesis of Al_3Ti particles reinforced Al-based composite coating

Using titanium wires （99.5%, 200 μm in diameter） as a reactive source, an Al-based composite coating reinforced by titanium tri-aluminide （A13Ti） particles was fabricated by infiltration plus in-situ methods. According to the differential thermal analysis （DTA） curve, the reactive temperature between Ti wires and A1 matrix can be determined at 890 ℃. The obtained composite coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and microhardness and wear test. The experimental results show that when holding period is 20 min at 890℃, the titanium wires react completely to in-situ synthesize Al3Ti particles, which presents blocky and strip-like states. The microhardness of in-situ synthesized Al3Ti particles is about 4.5 times that of the Al-matrix. Under the condition of dry sliding at 10 N load, compared with the unreinforced Al matrix, the composite coating fabricated with 20 min offers unique wear resistance behavior, and its wear mechanism is that the adhesive wear and abrasive wear coexist.

HARDNESS PROPERTY AND WEAR RESISTANCE OF Al_2O_(3P)/ Zn-Al COMPOSITE

The hardness values and the wear resistance of Al2O3P/ Zn-Al composite, prepared by means of rheological casting technology,are investigated separately in this work. The results show that the addition of Al2O3P increases the hardness values of the matrix at both room and high temperature and improves the wear resistance of the material.The hardness values and the wear resistance of the composite rise with the increase of the particle volume fraction or the decrease of the particle size.The raising of test temperature results in a rapid descending of its hardness values.However, the addition of Al2O3P improves the property of high temperature resistance of Zn-Al alloys significantly.Moreover,the effect of quenching, tempering or cycling heat treatment on the hardness values of the composite is also studied.

Application of ultra-smooth composite diamond film coated WC-Co drawing dies under water-lubricating conditions

A specific revised HFCVD apparatus and a novel process combining HFCVD and polishing technique were presented to deposit the micro-and nano-crystalline multilayered ultra-smooth diamond（USCD） film on the interior-hole surface of WC-Co drawing dies with aperture ranging from d1.0 mm to 60 mm.Characterization results indicate that the surface roughness values（Ra） in the entry zone,drawing zone and bearing zone of as-fabricated USCD coated drawing die were measured as low as 25.7,23.3 and 25.5 nm,respectively.Furthermore,the friction properties of USCD films were examined in both dry sliding and water-lubricating conditions,and the results show that the USCD film presents much superior friction properties.Its friction coefficients against ball-bearing steel,copper and silicon nitride balls（d4 mm）,is always lower than that of microcrystalline diamond（MCD） or WC-Co sample,regardless of the lubricating condition.Meanwhile,it still presents competitive wear resistance with the MCD films.Finally,the working lifetime and performance of as-fabricated USCD coated drawing dies were examined under producing low-carbon steel pipes in dry-sliding and water-lubricating conditions.Under the water-lubricating drawing condition,its production significantly increases by about 20 times compared with the conventional WC-Co drawing dies.

缸套磨损的判定与分析

缸套是柴油机的重要件,它与活塞、缸盖组成燃烧室,缸套的异常磨损会造成润滑不良,引起缸套与活塞环间窜气,直接影响柴油机的效率,决定着柴油机的大修期限。所以对缸套异常磨损的判断尤为重要,废品会造成不必要的损失,直接影响制造厂的利益;缸套承受活塞的侧推力,两者之间相对高速运动,与活塞环直接接触,内表面受到强烈的摩擦,在润滑不良、空车运转、冷却不当、不正常燃烧及细小的颗粒物进入的情况下,都会对缸套内表面造成磨损。

Effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on microstructure and wear resistance of Ti-Al co-deposited coating on copper plated nickel layer

In order to improve the wear resistance properties of copper substrate, a layer of electroplated nickel was firstly deposited on copper substrate, subsequently these electroplated specimens were treated by slurry pack cementation process with a slurry pack cementation mixture composed of TiO2 as titanizing source, pure Al powder as aluminzing source and also a reducer for titanizing, an activator of NH4Cl and albumen （egg white） as cohesive agent. The Ti-Al coating was fabricated on the surface of electro-deposited nickel layer on copper matrix followed by the slurry pack cementation process. The effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on the microstructures and wear resistance of Ti-Al coating were studied. The results show that the microstructure of the coating changed from NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al） to NiAl ＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋Ni4Ti3 to Ni4Ti3＋NiAl, and to NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋NiTi with slurry pack cementation temperature ranging from 800 ℃ to 950 ℃ in 12 h. The friction coefficient of Ti-Al coating decreased and the hardness increased with increasing the slurry pack cementation temperature. The minimum friction coefficient was 1/3 and the minimum hardness was 5 times larger than that of pure copper.

Tribological and corrosion behavior of PEO coatings with graphite nanoparticles on AZ91 and AZ80 magnesium alloys

The effect of the addition of graphite nanoparticles into the electrolyte used to produce plasma electrolytic oxidation（PEO） coatings on AZ91 and AZ80 magnesium alloys was studied. The corrosion and wear resistances of the obtained coatings were investigated. A solution that contained both phosphates and silicates was used as electrolyte. Moreover, two different PEO treatment times were studied. The corrosion resistance was analyzed with potentiodynamic polarization and EIS tests; the wear resistance was investigated with a flat on ring tribometer. The results were related to the morphology, microstructure, elemental composition and thickness evaluated with SEM analysis. The presence of the graphite nanoparticles increased the thickness, produced a densification of the coating and sealed the pores on the surface, thus improving both the corrosion and wear resistance. The increase in the corrosion and wear resistances was more evident for AZ91 than for AZ80 due to the higher aluminum content.

Effects of reinforcement on wear resistance of aluminum matrix composites

The effect of reinforcement on the wear mechanism of metal matrix composites （MMCs） was investigated by considering different parameters, such as sliding distance （6 km）, pressure （0.14-1.1 MPa） and sliding speed （230-1480 r/min）. The wear mechanisms of an MMC and the corresponding matrix material under similar experimental conditions were compared on a pin-on-disc wear machine. The pins were made of 6061 aluminum matrix alloy and 6061 aluminum matrix composite reinforced with 10% Al2O3 （volume fraciton） particles （6-18μm）. The disc was made of steel. The major findings are as follows： the MMC shows much higher wear resistance than the corresponding matrix material; unlike that of matrix material, the wear of MMC is very much linear and possible to predict easily; the wear mechanism is similar for both materials other than the three-body abrasion in the case of MMC; the reinforced particles resist the abrasion and restrict the deformation of MMCs which causes high resistance to wear. These results reveal the roles of the reinforcement particles on the wear resistance of MMCs and provide a useful guide for a better control of their wear.

Microstructures and properties of PVD TiAlN coating deposited on cermets with different Ti(C,N)grain size

In the present work,TiAlN coatings were deposited on Ti(C,N)-based cermet substrates by physical vapor deposition method.Emphasis was focused on the influence of grain size of cermet substrates on the microstructure,growth behavior,mechanical properties,adhesion strength and wear behavior of the coatings.The results show that finer Ti(C,N)grain size leads to higher nucleation density and lower growth rate of coatings,indicating the crystallite size of the TiAlN coatings decreases with decreasing Ti(C,N)grain size.Nanoindentation tests show that the coatings deposited on cermets of the finest grain size exhibit the highest hardness(H),elastic modulus(E),H/E and H3/E2 of 34.5 GPa,433.2 GPa,0.080 and 0.22,respectively.The adhesion strength between coating and substrate is also enhanced with decreasing Ti(C,N)grain size by scratch test,which corresponds to the grain size and H/E and H3/E2 of the coating.Besides,the lower surface roughness and better mechanical properties of the coating deposited on finer grained cermet contribute to the better wear resistance of the coating.

Tribological and flame retardant modification of polyamide-6 composite

A series of wear and flame resistant polyamide 6(PA6)composites were prepared using glass fiber(GF)and talc(T)as reinforcer,polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)and graphite(Gr)as solid lubricants,red phosphorus(RP)and zinc borate(ZB)as flame retardant.The tribological property,mechanical property,flame retardant property and the flame retardant mechanism were investigated.The tests show that the formula of the wear resistant PA6 composite(WRPA 6)is PA6/GF/T/PTFE/Gr in the ratio of 100/15/5/10/5 by mass.Because this composite exhibits the lowest friction coefficient(0.1429)and no wear mass loss,the introduction of RP and ZB can increase the flame resistance of WRPA6,and the synergistic effect of RP and ZB is obtained.Detailedly,the composite with 4 parts of ZB and 12 parts of RP shows the best flame retardant property,achieving the highest limiting oxygen index(LOI)(30.2 vol%)and a UL94 V-0 rating,and the flame retardant mechanisms may be gas phase along with condense phase mechanism.

Microstructure and tribocorrosion performance of nanocrystalline TiN graded coating on biomedical titanium alloy

A nanocrystalline TiN graded coating was prepared on Ti6Al4V alloy by DC reactive magnetron sputtering method. The microstructure and mechanic properties of the coating were investigated. The electrochemical corrosion and tribocorrosion of the coated specimens in physiological environment were compared with those of Ti6Al4V substrate. The results show that the gradient distribution of nanocrystalline TiN is favorable for releasing the inner stress in the coating, which increases adhesion strength to 90 N. The compact structure and refined-grains of the coating result in the surface nanohardness of 28.5 GPa. The corrosion protection efficiency of the nanocrystalline TiN coating reaches 96.6%. The tribocorrosion resistance of the coating increases by 100 times in comparison with that of Ti6Al4V substrate. The high chemical stability and H3/E2 ratio (where H is hardness, and E is elastic modulus) of the nanocrystalline TiN coating are responsible for good corrosion and wear resistances.
