In addition, the corresponding friction coefficient of sample was obtained through friction and wear tests. The results show that the peak clipping and the valley filling were conducted on the grinding surface, which could improve the surface roughness effectively and make the grinding trench-type wear scar more uniform. Both the area ratio of groove and groove spacing increased initially and then decreased with the increase of the spindle speed or the feed in z-direction. As a kind of micro-process, the groove could influence the friction coefficient of sample surface, whose distribution was beneficial to the reduction of friction coefficient. Compared with the surface obtained through ordinary grinding, grooved surface morphology through spinning technology was more conductive to reduce the friction coefficient, which could be reduced by 25%. When the friction coefficient of sample was reduced to the minimum, the texture of groove corresponded had an optimal area ratio and an optimal groove spacing, 37.5% and 27.5 μm, respectively.展开更多

Flotation performances of calcite particles under different grinding patterns involving the use of HPGR, a jaw crusher, a dry ball mill, a wet ball mill, and a wet rod mill were studied using single mineral flotation tests. The surface properties of the particles under different grinding patterns were characterized to determine the flotation performance variation in terms of specific surface area, particle size distribution, AFM, XPS, and zeta potential. The results show that particles ground by HPGR exhibited improved flotation performance within the lower range of grinding fineness in both NaOL and dodecyl amine flotation systems compared to the particles prepared using other grinding patterns. Specific surface area, particle size distribution, surface roughness, Fe(III) contamination, binding energy, and zeta potential are greatly influenced by grinding patterns, which is the main cause of the flotation performance variation.展开更多

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.展开更多

Surface ground CP-Zr with a roughness of 0.21 μm (Ra) was thermally oxidized (TO) at 650 °C for 6 h. After TO, some samples were polished to smoothen the surface with a finish of 0.04 μm (Ra). The response of the polished and unpolished TO samples to dry sliding wear was investigated under unidirectional sliding conditions. The results show that surface polishing after TO affects the dry sliding wear behavior of TO CP-Zr in several aspects, including coefficient of friction, wear rate, crack formation and oxide layer breakdown. In particular, it is found that smoothening the TO surface favors the formation of semi-circular cracks in the wear track and accelerates oxide layer breakdown during dry sliding. A slightly rough TO surface helps to reduce the tendency of the oxide layer towards cracking and to increase the wear resistance at high contact loads. The mechanisms involved are discussed in terms of asperity contacts, crack formation, propagation and final fracture.展开更多

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.展开更多

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.展开更多

The investigation was carried out using a pin-on-disk tribometer with simultaneous recording of acoustic emission(AE) and vibration acceleration. The sliding wear process was found to be determined by dynamic direct and inverse Y-TZP transformations detected by monoclinic and tetragonal X-ray diffraction peak ratios. The AE signals generated under direct and inverse transformations can be used to characterize wear and friction mechanisms as well as direct and inversed sliding-induced phase transformations. The AE signal energy grows with the friction coefficient and the inverse transformation degree. Reduction of the AE signal energy indicates establishing the mild wear stage caused by effective stress-induced direct martensitic transformation. The AE signal median frequency increases in the case of lower friction. Numerical studies of wear subsurface fracture under conditions of stress-induced martensitic transformation were used to elucidate the role played by the phase transformation in Y-TZP and Y-TZP-Al_2O_3. Martensitic transformation in Y-TZP was described with use of the non-associated dilatant plasticity model. Simulation results particularly show that increase in the value of dilatancy coefficient from 0 to 0.2 is accompanied by 25%-30% reduce in characteristic length and penetration depth of sliding-induced subsurface cracks. As shown the AE may be an effective tool for in-situ monitoring the subsurface wear of materials experiencing both direct and inverse transformations.展开更多

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.展开更多
