Microstructure and surface hardness of hardfacing alloy were investigated and measured by optical microscope and microhardness tester. Carbonitrides of the hardfacing alloy were observed by electron probe. The wear behaviour of the hardfacing alloy was studied using the belt abrasion test apparatus and the worn surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that carbonitride particles in the hardfacing alloy are complex MX ( M: alloy elements ; X: C, N) precipitate with fine size. These carbonitride particles distributed homogeneously in the hardfacing alloy and had a good strengthening effect on the wear property. The wear property of the hardfacing alloy with nitrogen was better than the one without nitrogen.展开更多

But the poor adhesion to the steel surfaces has been a critical restriction for applying the silver coatings to the practical machine elements. In this work, an 8-μm silver self-lubricating coating was deposited on the surface of 718 alloy by the method of magnetron sputtering. The coating was uniform, dense and consistent. The wear mechanism was investigated by analyzing the friction and wear properties of the coating. Stress is one of the important impacts on the friction coefficient, the results showed that it first increased and then decreased with the increase of pressure at room temperature and under vacuum. Temperature exerted an effect on the silver self-lubricating coating. A study was conducted under vacuum on the friction and wear performance of the coating at 300 K, 225 K, 155 K, and 77 K, respectively. The results showed that the wear mechanism and wear state varied under various low-temperature conditions, with the severity of wear reaching the maximum only at 225 K. Through the same silver coating process, the washer of superbolt was improved by silver coating treatment.展开更多

The experimental results demonstrated that the wear rate of the material decreased with the increase of the wear time. The friction coefficient fluctuated severely when the applied load was 120 N. At 120 N the wear rate was much higher than that of the applied load of 70 N. At 70 N the wear rate did not show much difference from that of 30 N. The wear mechanism was adhesive and abrasive wear under different load at the initial stage of the wear test. Then, the main wear mechanism changed with the wearing time and the applied load.展开更多

Therefore, Me-reinforced MoS2/Cu composites were prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) methods. The electrical sliding wear properties in the absence or presence of Mereinforced MoS2/Cu composites were tested by HST-100 high speed electric-tribometer. The hardness, electrical conductivity, density, and microstmcture of MoS2/Cu composites were observed. Me-reinforcement MoS2/Cu composites are of good electrical conductivity, while the hardness of Mo-reinforcedment MoS2/Cu composites is about 33.3% higher than that of MoS2/Cu composites. With the addition of Me, composites show better wear properties under high speed and large electric current due to the improvement of hardness. The effects of current intensity and sliding velocity on the wear properties of the tested materials are complicated, and the wear mechanisms of MoS2/Cu composites are mainly abrasive wear and adhesive wear with arc erosion.展开更多

文摘AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1-x)NbC(x=0,2.5,7.5,and 10 wt%,denoted as NbC0,NbC2.5,NbC7.5,and NbC10)high-entropy alloy(HEA)matrix composites were fabricated by mechanical alloying(MA)and spark plasma sintering(SPS)methods.The effect of NbC content on the microstructures,Vickers hardness,and wear properties of AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1) eutectic high entropy alloy(EHEA)was systematically investigated.The results indicate that the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1) alloy consisted of FCC,B2,Al_(2)O_(3),and Cr_(7)C_(3) phases,while the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1-x)NbC(x>0)alloys consisted of FCC,NbC,Al_(2)O_(3),and Cr_(7)C_(3) phases.The AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1-x)NbC alloys exhibit excellent Vickers hardness with 679 HV,664 HV,677 HV,and 695 HV,respectively.In addition,with the addition of NbC,the average friction coefficient and wear rate of the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)-xNbC alloys decrease from 0.59 to 0.42 and from 1.5.10–5 mm^(3) N^(−1) m^(−1) to 2.4.10–6 mm^(3) N^(−1) m^(−1),respectively.Wherein,NbC10 alloy shows the smallest average friction coefficient of 0.42 and lowest wear rate of 2.4.10–6 mm^(3) N^(−1) m^(−1),indicating that the NbC10 alloy displays the best wear resistance.And the wear mechanism of the NbC10 alloy was oxidation wear accompanied by slight adhesive wear.

文摘In this study,effects of B addition on the sintering densification,microstructure,hardness,friction and wear properties of sintered Fe-2.4C-4Cr-1Mo-0.5P-0.7Si-2.5Cu(in wt%)were investigated.In spite of the decreased sintered density,the addition of B changes the phase composition of the materials and their ratio.Moreover,hardness of either the matrix or the liquid solidification structure dramatically increases.These changes in micro structure result in higher friction coefficient and lower wear loss.It is observed that the addition of0.1 wt%B offers the optimum friction and wear properties with a running-in period of only 30 s and wear volume loss of 0.006 mm^(3) under the testing conditions.Such friction and wear properties are superior to those of the other two widely used cam materials,cast iron and 45 steel.

文摘Copper-graphite composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS)using coppercoated graphite powder.Hydrophobic surfaces were successfully constructed by chemical etching and surface treatment.The density,metallographic structure,microstructure,Shore hardness,resistivity,water contact angle,and friction/wear properties of the composites were investigated using the Archimedes drainage method,a metallographic microscope,a scanning electron microscope,a hardness tester,a resistometer,a surface science tester,and a friction tester.The results showed that the relative density and Shore hardness of the copper-graphite composites increased slightly from 90.04%and 56 HSD to 92.66%and 59 HSD,respectively,when the sintering temperature increased from 700 to 900℃.The copper and graphite phases in the copper-graphite composites were uniformly distributed with a continuous and network-like structure at various sintering temperatures.The interface between the copper and graphite was in good condition,without any obvious cracks or voids.The optimum process for hydrophobic surface construction included etching with a 1 mol/L K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)-H_(2)SO_(4)solution for 1 min,and soaking in a 0.09 mol/L cetylbenzene sulfonic acid alcohol solution for 1 h.The contact angle of the copper-graphite composite reached 130°.Hydrophobic treatment was beneficial for reducing the friction coefficient(from 0.18-0.19 to 0.13-0.15)and the wear rate(from 4.1-6.2×10^(-3)to 1.1-2.1×10^(-3)mm^(3)/(N·m)),demonstrating obvious antifriction and wear-resisting properties.The resistivities of the hydrophobic-treated samples increased slightly,from(4-8)×10^(-7)Ω·m to(5-15)×10^(-7)Ω·m,meeting the resistivity requirements of copper-graphite composite pantograph sliders and current receiver sliders in actual working conditions.
文摘Thermal sprayed Ni-20wt. % Al coating is fabricated on 6061-T6 aluminum alloy substrates by twin-wire arc spraying (TWAS). Experimental results present that the average bonding strength is around 53 MPa and the average hardness reaches 325 HV. The Vickers microhardness of NiAl and Ni3Al intermetaUic compounds is larger than that of the substrate, which is beneficial for improving the wear property. Wear mechanism exhibits features of adhesive wear. Friction and wear test results indicate that the wet friction coefficient is higher than the coefficient of dry friction after 200 cycles, and variations of the wet friction coefficient are relatively smaller.

文摘The tribological properties of newly developed friction material were evaluated by statistical analysis of the major affecting factors.The material for investigation was non-metallic friction material synergistically reinforced with aramid fibre and CaSO 4 whisker,which was developed for hoisting applications in coal mine.The response surface method(RSM)was employed to analyze the material performances affected by the independent and interactive effect of the factors under the normal working condition and severe working condition,respectively.Results showed that under the normal working condition,the newly developed material exhibited stable tribological properties which were insensitive to the test conditions.While under the severe working condition,the sliding velocity was the most dominant factor affecting the friction coefficient.Additionally,compared to the commercially available material,the modified material showed superior wear resistance and thermal stability.

文摘A Nomex fabric/phenolic composite was prepared,and its tribological properties were evaluated under dry and water‐bathed sliding conditions by a pin‐on‐disk tribometer.The resulting size of the friction coefficient for the Nomex fabric/phenolic composite in the study occurred in the following order:dry sliding condition>distilled water‐bathed sliding condition>sea water‐bathed sliding condition.The fabric composite’s wear rate from high to low was as follows:distilled water‐bathed sliding condition>sea water‐bathed sliding condition>dry sliding condition.Under water‐bathed sliding conditions,penetration of water into the cracks accelerated the composite’s invalidation process,resulting in a higher wear rate.We also found that the extent of corrosion and transfer film formed on the counterpart pin significantly influenced the wear rate of the Nomex fabric composite.Discussion of the Nomex fabric composite’s wear mechanisms under the sliding conditions investigated is provided on the basis of the characterization results.
