The reinforcements include as-received Mg2B2O5 whiskers and Mg2B2O5 whiskers coated with CuO and ZnO. The volume fraction of the composites is 2%. The relationship between the wear rate and the coefficient of friction was discussed. The results indicate that the wear rate of the Mg2B2O5 whiskers coated with ZnO reinforced aluminum matrix composites is the lowest among the materials. As the applied load and sliding speed steadily increase the coefficients of friction and wear rates of the as-received matrix alloy and the fabricated composites decrease. As the applied load and sliding speed increase, the wear mechanisms of the composites shift from a mild to a severe regime.展开更多

The test rig consists of a cantilever beam forced by the dynamoelectric vibration exciter and a rotational shaft driven by a spindle. It has a widely adjustable range of testing parameters, including the impact frequency, the impact load and the sliding velocity. The avail- able maximum impact frequency, impact load and sliding velocity are 100 Hz, 200 N and 4.52 m/s, respectively. To evaluate the capability of the test rig, tests are carried out and the impact load is measured. Results show that the test rig has the good repeatability under the same test conditions and the repeatable error is less than 7%. Furthermore, non-destructive examination results by the mass loss method, two-dimensional profilometry and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show that the test rig can meet the demands for the impact-sliding wear.展开更多

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

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.展开更多

The aluminium powder and the whisker were effectively blended by a semi-powder metallurgy method. The blended powder mixtures were cold compacted and sintered at 600 ℃. The sintered composites were characterized for microstructural features by optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. Porosity in the composites with variation in ABOw contents was determined. The effect of variation in content of ABOw on mechanical properties, viz. hardness, bending strength and compressive strength of the composites was evaluated. The dry sliding wear behaviour was evaluated at varying sliding distance at constant loads. Maximum flexural strength of 172 MPa and compressive strength of 324 MPa with improved hardness around HV 40.2 are obtained in composite with 10 wt.% ABOw. Further increase in ABOw content deteriorates the properties. A substantial increase in wear resistance is also observed with 10 wt.% ABOw. The excellent combination of mechanical properties of Al-10 wt.%ABOw composites is attributed to good interfacial bonds, less porosity and uniformity in the microstructure.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

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
