The tribological performances of the composite coatings under dry condition were investigated in comparison with 45 steel and conventional Ni-P coating, Micrographs show that short MWNTs with uniform length and open tips were obtained through the wet-milling process. The results of wear test reveal that the Ni-P-MWNTs composite coatings posses much better friction reduction and anti-wear performances when compared with 45 steel and Ni-P coating. Within the MWNTs content range of 0.74%-1.97%, the friction coefficient and the volume wear rate of the composite coatings decrease gradually and reach the minimum values of 0.08 and 6.22x10-15 m3/（N.m）, respectively. The excellent tribological performances of the composite coatings can be attributed to the introduction of MWNTs, which play both roles of reinforcements and solid lubricant during the wear process.展开更多

In order to improve the wear resistance of the material in oil containing solid contaminants,the brush plated nano-Al2O3/Ni composite coating was p repared and the influence of the sand content and sand size on the tribological property of the coating in oil containing solid contaminants was tested with bal l-on-disc tester. The results show that the wear volume increases with increas ing the sand content and sand size,and the wear resistance of the composite coa ting is 20% higher than that of the high-speed plain nickel coating. The main w ear mechanisms of the coatings are abrasive wear and adhesive wear. And due to t he nano-particle strengthening effect,the wear resistance of the composite coa ting is improved.展开更多

The effects of graphite content, load and rotation speed on the friction coefficient and wear resistance of the composite coatings were mainly investigated. The worn surface and cross section of the coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The results show that the composite coatings reveal good antifriction and wear resistance due to the synergic effect of graphite and SiC particles. The formation of graphite-rich mechanically mixed layer （GRMML） on the surface of Ni-P-Gr-SiC coating contributes to the good tribological behavior of the wear counterparts and SiC particles play a load bearing role in protecting GRMML from shearing easily.展开更多

Lubricated and non-lubricated scratch tests were performed on both novel composite coatings and on standard Ni deposits used as a benchmark coating to have an initial idea of the effect of the presence of particles within the Ni matrix. Under lubricated conditions, the performance of the Ni/h BN composite coating was very similar to the benchmark Ni coating, whereas the Ni/WS_2 behaved quite differently, as the latter did not only show a lower coefficient of friction, but also prevented the occurrence of stick-slip motion that was clearly observed in the other coatings. Under non-lubricated conditions, whereas the tribological performance of the Ni/hBN composite coating was again very similar to that of the benchmark Ni coating, the Ni/WS_2 composite coatings again showed a remarkable enhancement, as the incorporation of the WS_2 particles into the Ni coating not only resulted in a lower coefficient of friction, but also in the prevention of coating failure.展开更多
