The fretting wear behavior of 0Cr20Ni32AlTi alloy was investigated with crossed cylinder contact under 80 N at 300 and 400 °C.Wear scar and debris were analyzed systematically by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The results show that the friction logs are mixed fretting regime and gross slip regime with the magnitudes of displacement of 10 and 20 μm,respectively.Severe wear and friction oxidation occur on the material surface.A large number of granular debris produced in the fretting process can be easily congregated and adhered at the contact zone after repeated crushes.The resultant of friction oxidation is mainly composed of Fe3O4,Fe2O3,Cr2O3 and NiO.Temperature and friction are the major factors affecting the oxidation reaction rate.The fretting friction effect can enhance the oxidation reaction activity of surface atoms of 0Cr20Ni32AlTi alloy and reduce the oxidation activation energy.As result,the oxidation reaction rate is accelerated.

Friction and Wear Properties of TiAl and Ti_2AlN/TiAl Composites at High Temperature

The high-temperature friction and wear properties of TiAl alloys and Ti2AlN/TiAl composites （TTC） in contact with nickel-based superalloy were studied. The results showed that, at 800 and 1 000 ℃, the coefficient of the friction （COF） decreased with the increase of sliding velocity and the wear loss of the TTC decreased with the increase of volume fraction of Ti2AlN. The wear mechanisms of the pairs are adhesive wear and the wear debris mainly comes from the contacting nickel-based superalloy. The intergranular fracture and the cracking of the phase boundary in the lamellar structure are the wear mode of TiAl alloy. The wear mode of TTC is phase boundary fracture and adhesive spalling. The abrasive resistance of TTC is slightly higher than that of TiAl alloy.

In pressurized water reactor(PWR),fretting wear is one of the main causes of fuel assembly failure.Moreover,the operation condition of cladding is complex and harsh.A unique fretting damage test equipment was developed and tested to simulate the fretting damage evolution process of cladding in the PWR environment.It can simulate the fretting wear experiment of PWR under different temperatures(maximum temperature is 350℃),displacement amplitude,vibration frequency,and normal force.The fretting wear behavior of Zr-4 alloy under different temperature environments was tested.In addition,the evolution of wear scar morphology,profile,and wear volume was studied using an optical microscope(OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and a 3D white light interferometer.Results show that higher water temperature evidently decreased the cladding wear volume,the wear mechanism of Zr-4 cladding changed from abrasive wear to adhesive wear and the formation of an oxide layer on the wear scar reduced the wear volume and maximum wear depth.

Ni-based alloy coating on 21-4-N heat-resistant steel was prepared using CO2 laser, and the high-temperature abrasion wear was tested. The microstructure of this cladding layer and its abrasion wear behavior at high temperature by changing compositions and temperatures were investigated by means of optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Among the three compositions of cladding layer, i.e. Ni21+20%WC+0.5%CeO2, Ni25+20%WC+0.5%CeO2 and Ni60+20%WC+0.5%CeO2, the experimental results show that Ni21+20%WC+ 0.5%CeO2 cladding layer is made up of finer grains, and presents the best abrasion wear behavior at high temperature. The wear pattern of laser cladding layer is mainly grain abrasion at lower temperature, and it would be changed to adhesive abrasion and oxide abrasion at higher temperature.

Al 12Si alloy matrix composites reinforced with Al 2O 3 and carbon fibers respectively as well as with the two fibres were fabricated by squeeze infiltration. The elevated temperature (about 400 ℃) friction and wear behaviors of Al 12Si alloy and its composites were investigated.The results show that the hybrid composites reinforced with Al 2O 3 and carbon fibres are of superior high temperature wear resistance.The critical transition temperature from mild wear to severe wear of the composites reinforced only with Al 2O 3 fiber is improved markedly compared with monolithic Al 12Si alloy, from 200 ℃ to 300 ℃.However, the critical transition temperature of the hybrid composites reinforced with Al 2O 3 and carbon fibers is improved further to 400 ℃.The reinforcing fibers have no significant effect on wear mechanisms of Al 12Si alloy.The dominant mechanisms are ploughing grooves and delamination as well as slight adhesion during mild wear regime.The subsurface consists of three regions:non peeling delamination layer, microcrack formation and propagation zone, and unaffected zone.Whereas the dominant mechanism is shifted to severe wear when test temperature exceeds the critical transition temperature.

Surface finish. substrates. load and temperature were investigated. A mechanism of lubrication is proposed in which the surface slip predominates along with mechanical attachment of oxide to the surface.

Effect of Extrusion Temperatures on Friction-wear Behavior of Chain-wheel Fabricated by 40Cr Steel under Oil-lubrication Condition

A 40 Cr steel was formed into a chain-wheel using a warm extrusion technology. The surface roughness and micro-structure, micro-hardness and phases of the extruded samples at different temperatures were analyzed using a three-dimensional optical microscope(OM), micro-hardness tester, and X-ray diffraction(XRD), respectively. The morphologies, chemical element distributions and phases of worn tracks at the extrusion temperatures of 550, 650 and 750 ℃ were analyzed using a scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS), and XRD, respectively. The friction-wear behaviors of extruded samples under oil-lubrication condition were observed using a wear test. And the effects of extrusion temperatures on the wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that residual austenite and pearlite exist on the sample at the extrusion temperature of 550 ℃ with the corresponding grain size and surface micro-hardness of 32.7 nm and 370.33 HV, respectively. The average coefficient of friction(COF) of extruded sample at the temperature of 550 ℃ is 0.196 5, and the wear mechanism is fatigue and abrasive wear. While the acicular martensite exists on the extruded samples at the extrusion temperatures of 650 and 750 ℃, the corresponding grain sizes are 30.0 and 29.1 nm, respectively. The average COF(coefficient of friction) of extruded sample at the temperatures of 650 and 750 ℃ are 0.187 4 and 0.163 6, respectively, and the wear mechanism is abrasive wear. As a result, the friction performance of extruded sample at the temperatures of 650 and 750 ℃ is better than that at the temperature of 550 ℃.

Study on dry friction and wear resistance of a WC-Co particle reinforced iron matrix composite material

In order to select a suitable material for the rolling mill guide application, the dry sliding friction and wear resistance of a tungsten carbide combining cobalt (WC-Co) particle reinforced chromium cast iron composite material were studied. In particular, the wear resistance was discussed in detail. The results showed that the composite material demonstrates 25 times the wear resistance of high Cr cast iron, and 9 times the wear resistance of heat resistant steel. However, the average friction factor in the stable friction stage showed a relationship of μComposites/45#steel>μHigh chromium cast iron/45#steel>μHeat resistant steel/45 # steel. The wear resistance mechanism of the composite material was associated with the reinforcing particles, which protruded from the worn surface to bear the friction load when the matrix material surface was worn, thereby reducing the abrasive and adhesive wear. In addition, the matrix material possessed suitable hardness and toughness, providing a support to the reinforcements.

High temperature sliding wear behaviors of ion plating TiN composite coating with ion nitriding as interlayer on hot work die steel

High temperature sliding wear behaviors of ion plating TiN composite coating with ion nitriding interlayer on 3Cr2W8V hot work die steel substrate during 500～700 ℃ were investigated. Phase structure was analyzed by XRD and adhesion strength of TiN coating was measured by scratch test. The worn morphologies and wear mechanism of TiN composite coating were observed and analyzed by using SEM. The results showed that both adhesion strength and hardness of TiN composite coating with ion nitriding interlayer are higher than those of single TiN coating. Ion nitriding interlayer provides a stronger support for TiN coating. With increasing temperature, the wear rates and friction coefficient of all tested coatings increase. The wear resistance of TiN composite coating is better than that of single TiN coating. The wear mechanisms of TiN composite coating are mainly adhesion transfer wear and abrasive wear. The adhesion transfer wear becomes more severe as the test temperature increases. [

High Temperature Wear Characteristics of a New Hot Work Die Steel CH95

High temperature wear characteristics of a new hot work die steel CH95 doped with a small amount of rare earth （ Re ） and boron （ B ） have been investigated and compared with those of conventional die steel H11 at a series of temperatures and loads. Worn surfaces of CH95 steel and H11 steel were analyzed with a scanning electron microscope. It is found that high temperature mechanical properties of CH95 steel are much better than those of H11 steel. The oxide layer formed on the worn surface plays an important role in wear resistance at high temperature. When the load is less than 63 N, the surface oxide layer keeps integrated and the effect of load on high temperature wear is small. When the load is higher than 63 N, the supporting ability of matrix to the oxide layer decreases with the increase of load, which results in an increase of wear rate. Compared with H11 steel, the wear resistance of CH95 steel is much better and the worn surface of CH95 steel is smoother. It is easier for CH95 steel to form a compact and integrated surface oxide layer at high temperature than for Hll steel, which protects the worn surface and reduces wear.

The Influence of High Temperature Exposure on the Wear Performance of a Ni Based Alloy PTA Coating

Degradation phenomena like wear and corrosion, may have their effects accelerated as components operate at high temperature. The aim of this work is to make an indirect evaluation of the influence of high temperature exposure on wear behavior of Ni coatings. A Ni-Cr-Mo-W alloy, was deposited with Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) process. An indirect approach based on the Ahrrenius relationship was used to evaluated long time exposures at high temperatures. To simulate longer exposures at lower temperatures, coatings were exposed to higher temperatures for the same time interval. So coatings were soaked in an air furnace at 650°C, 1000°C and 1200°C. Metal/metal wear behavior was evaluated by pin-on-disc tests. Pins were removed from the coatings by eletrodischarge machining and rubbed against a VC31 quenched and tempered tool steel. Two sets of wear tests were run at 2m/s, for different loads (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0Kg) and for different sliding distances (120, 720, 1080, 1440 and 1800m).Coatings characterization was done by scanning electronic microscopy and Vickers microhardness. Results showed as temperature is increased, coatings wear performance is altered, and this is associated with microstructural changes.

Tribological behaviour of AZ71E alloy at high temperatures

Tribological behaviour of the die-cast AZ71E magnesium alloy was investigated in an applied load range of 10-50 N at high temperatures under dry sliding conditions using a pin-on-disc wear testing machine. The results indicate that the wear rate increases with the increase of applied load and sliding distance, whereas the friction coefficient decreases with the increase of applied load. Scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy studies on the worn surfaces and sub-surfaces show that the predominant wear mechanism is abrasion at low applied loads. The mild delamination wear accompanying with adhesion wear is the predominant wear mechanism under high applied loads at 150 ℃, whereas the severe delamination and melting wear are the predominant wear mechanisms under high applied load at 200 ℃. An investigation of the microstructure, thermal stability and tensile properties at high temperatures, using the optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, shows that the dominant secondary phase in AZ71E alloy, Al11Ce3, leads to the improvement in the tensile and elongation properties of alloy at high temperatures, which results in the improvement in the anti wear performance.

High-temperature tribological properties of Ni-P alloy coatings deposited by electro-brush plating

High-temperature tribological properties of Ni-P alloy coatings processed by electro-brush plating on 20CrMo steel have been investigated. A baU-on-disc configuration was employed and 4 mm diameter Si3N4 balls were used as static counterpart. All the wear tests were carried out at 450℃ for 180 rain without lubricants. The electro-brush plating Ni-P coating is amorphous in as-deposited condition, and it becomes polycrystalline with the formation of Ni and Ni3P after heat treatment at 450℃for 1 h. The friction coefficient of the Ni-P coating is just 50% of that of the 20CrMo steel at the friction temperature of 450℃. A mild adhesive wear mechanism was found for the electro-brush plating Ni-P coating tested at 450℃, whereas for the 20CrMo steel at the same temperature a mixed adhesive and abrasive wear mechanism was observed.

Sliding wear behavior of high velocity arc sprayed Fe-Al coating

The friction and wear behavior of Fe Al intermetallics based coating produced by high velocity arc spraying technique under dry sliding at room temperature were investigated using a ball on disc tribotester. The effect of sliding speed on friction coefficient and wear of the coating was studied. The worn surface of the coating was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) to explore sliding friction and wear mechanism. The results show that the variations of friction coefficient can be divided into three distinct steps during the trail. Both the friction coefficient and the wear of the coating increase with increased sliding speed due to accelerated crack propagation rate and lamellar structure with poor ductility of the coating. The coating surface is subjected to alternately tensile stress and compression stress during sliding wear process, and the predominant wear mechanism of the coatings appears to be brittle fracture and delamination.
