Sliding wear of Al2O3P/6061 Al composite

The mild sliding wear behaviour of a 15 vol % Al₂O_3P/6061 Al composite has been investigated by using a pin-on-disc reciprocating sliding machine. The composite has been shown to exhibit an excellent wear resistance as compared to the unreinforced matrix alloy. The wear rate of the composite under dry wear conditions with a 12N load is approximately one tenth of that in the 6061 aluminium alloy. The wear rate of the composite under lubrication with 15W/40 gear oil under a 100N load is only one thousandth ofthat in the 6061 aluminium alloy.The dry wear resistance of an over-aged sample is shown here to be better than a peak aged or under-aged sample when the composite was aged at 160°C. The coefficient of friction of the composite was approximately 0.5–0.6 under dry conditions and 0.07 in lubricated wear experiments.In the initial stage, the worn surface of the composite under dry conditions is primarily composed of ploughed grooves and ductile tear. The composite makes a conducting contact with the steel pin. The worn surface is composed of compacted powder and the contact potential gradually increases when the period of the wear experiment goes beyond 2 h.     

Study on the synergistic effect of carbon fiber and graphite and nanoparticle on the friction and wear behavior of polyimide composites

In this paper, the effect of short carbon fiber (SCF), graphite (Gr) and nano-Si₃N₄ on the friction and wear behavior of polyimide (PI) composites were studied using a block-on-ring arrangement. Experimental results revealed that single incorporation of SCF and Gr can improve the friction-reducing and anti-wear abilities of the PI composites significantly. However, nano-Si₃N₄ deteriorated the wear resistance of the PI composite drastically as single filler. A synergistic effect was found for the combination of nano-Si₃N₄ and SCF and Gr, which lead to the best tribological properties. It also can be found that the filled PI composites exhibited better tribological properties under higher PV product (the product of load and sliding speed). Moreover, the filled PI composites showed better tribological properties under oil lubrication and worse tribological properties under water lubrication compared with that under dry sliding condition.     

The Overcoat Oil Lubrication of Microarc Oxidation Coating on Al Alloy by Liquid Plasma Technique

Ceramic coatings were deposited on 2Al2 alloy with a 100 kW micro-arc oxidation equipment consisting of a potential adjustable ac power supply and alkali electrolyte. The structure of the micro-arc oxidiation coatings was examined using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The tribological properties of the coatings sliding against steel under the drop and adsorption lubrication of liquid paraffin were evaluated with a Timken tester. The lower friction coefficient of 0.14 and longer wear life of 2450 m of overcoat were observed for the polished micro-arc oxidation coating of 180μm thick at a sliding speed 2. 50 m/s and load 1500 N. This is because the coating has an interlayer of suitable porosity and thickness, which helps to improve the deposition of lubricants and endure the higher load. In other words, the oil is able to adsorb in the porous holes of the overcoat and provided the lubrication of micro reservoir during friction, and the compact and relatively hard interlayer of oxidation coating is able to support heavy load and prevent the oil lubricating film from damage.

Tribological properties of dispersed carbon nanotubes in lubricant

This study examined the tribological properties of two lubricating oils, mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanoparticles used as additives with various concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt.%). The friction and wear experiments were performed using a four ball tribotester. The samples were tested for their anti-wear, load carrying capacity, and friction coefficients according to ASTM D-2783, ASTM D-2596, and ASTM D-5183 standards. The experimental results show that the addition of MWCNTs to base oils exhibit good friction reduction and anti-wear properties. The wear test results show a decreased wear by 68% and 39% in the case of MWCNTs-based mineral oil as compared with base mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, respectively. Furthermore, the friction reduction results show a decrease of friction about 57% and 49% in the case of MWCNTs-based mineral oil as compared with base mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, respectively. The weld load of the base oil containing 1% MWCNTs was found to be 400 kgf and 125 kgf as compared with base mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, respectively, which got welded at 200 kgf and 100 kgf. The morphologies and typical element distribution of the worn surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). The SEM micrographs and EDX chemical analysis confirm the formation of a tribolayer composed of the elements from the nanoparticles.     

Tribological properties of sulfurized-nitrided layer prepared by a two-step method

The tribological properties of nitrided layer and sulfurized-nitrided layer of AISI 4135 steel were investigated under oil lubrication, and the layers were prepared by the ion nitriding treatment and a two-step method as the ion nitriding plus sulfurizing duplex treatment, respectively. A ball-on-disc friction and wear tester was adopted to evaluate the tribological performance. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), scanning Auger microprobe (SAM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) were used to identify the morphologies and chemical compositions of the treated layer and the worn surface. It was presented that the sulfurized-nitrided sample with a thin FeS layer possessed much better tribological behaviors than the nitrided sample, including load carrying capacity, wear resistance, friction reduction and duration time. The mechanism was supposed that the decomposed activated S atoms of FeS layer promoted a new FeS chemical reaction film formation, which induced to the thin FeS layer playing as a solid lubricant for a longer time.     

冷热循环处理对钛基非晶合金摩擦学性能的影响EI北大核心CSCD

钛合金的耐磨性较差,在钛合金活动部件表面制备钛基非晶合金涂层是一种保持钛合金优势又提升其耐磨性的选择。采用X射线衍射仪、差示扫描量热仪、SEM、摩擦磨损试验机,对冷热循环处理前后钛基块体非晶合金的组织结构与摩擦行为进行比较研究。结果表明:经过冷热循环处理后的钛基块体非晶合金仍然保持着完全非晶态,弛豫焓提升11%。冷热循环处理后钛基非晶合金的平均纳米硬度从6.84 GPa降低到6.59 GPa,平均弹性模量从118.70 GPa降低到103.43 GPa,但硬度与弹性模量的比值增大。冷热循环处理后,钛基块体非晶合金在5 N和10 N的载荷下磨损率减小了约10%。与TC4合金相比,其在5 N和10 N载荷下的磨损率分别减小了20%和50%。TC4合金由于硬度较低,呈现较为严重的黏着磨损。冷热循环处理后,钛基非晶合金的磨损机制从铸态的磨粒磨损为主向磨粒磨损、黏着磨损和氧化磨损共同作用转变,且随着载荷的增大,黏着磨损减轻,磨粒磨损占据主导。因此,冷热循环处理是提升钛基块体非晶合金摩擦学性能的一种有效方法。     

Orthogonal experimental design applied for wear characterization of aluminum/C<Subscript>sf</Subscript> metal composite fabricated by the thixomixing method

High silicon content aluminum alloy (hypereutectic) possess good tribological characteristics with low coefficients of friction, when embedded with short carbon fiber (C_sf), making this composite a good material choice where good wear and high strength properties are required in light weight components. There is no previously published information available, to the knowledge of the authors, regarding the influence of wear parameters and their interactions on the tribological behavior of C_sf reinforced metal matrix composites. In this study a Taguchi design of experiment (DoE) was conducted to optimize and analyze the effects of the wear parameters on the tribological properties of Al/C_sf metal matrix composite. A novel thixomixing method which was used to process the metal within the semisolid state was employed to embed short carbon fibers homogenously into the metal matrix. The influences of the sliding speed, applied load and volume fraction, of C_sf on the specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were examined, with each of these input parameters tested at three levels(0, 4.2, 8.1%vol.). The results were indicated that Al/C_sf composite had better tribological properties than Al alloy due to which contains carbon as solid lubricant. According to the statistical analysis, the influence of volume fraction of carbon fiber on wear parameters was ranked first; so the load and sliding speed are at the following rankings. The contribution percentage for each parameter was determined by the analysis of variance. The relatively good interfacial adherence of carbon fiber and matrix alloy were demonstrated. The coherent and adherent graphite-rich layer on the worn surface was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Self-lubricating gears with oil-impregnated sintered materials

This study shows the first results on the operating behavior of self-lubricating gears based on oil-impregnated sintered material. The term self-lubrication is referred to as oil that bleeds from the open-pored sintered gear and providing lubrication to the gear contact. Experiments were carried out at the FZG efficiency gear test rig. Thereby, the pinion was made of open-pored, case-hardened sintered steel and impregnated with oil, and the wheel was made of conventional case-hardened steel. The total loss in torque and the bulk temperatures of the pinion and wheel were measured for various operating conditions defined by load and circumferential speed. The mean coefficient of friction in the gear contact was derived from the torque loss measurements. Results confirm that self-lubricating tribological systems with oil-impregnated sintered materials can be transferred from model test rigs to gears. The mean coefficient of friction shows the order of magnitude of externally lubricated gears. The tooth flanks after test runs show partially noticeable wear. As the heat dissipation of self-lubrication is limited, bulk temperatures and thermal load limits influence operating behavior significantly. Further work will focus on understanding the mechanisms of the lubricant film formation of self-lubricated, highly-loaded EHL contacts and on extending the thermal load limits.     

Investigations on mechanical and tribological properties of Al-Si10-Mg alloy/sugarcane bagasse ash particulate composites

Aluminum metal matrix composites are a new generation of metal matrix composites that have the potential of sustaining the emerging demand for advanced engineering applications. These demands were satisfied due to massive mechanical and tribological properties of the aluminum hybrid composite material. In this work, abundantly available agricultural waste product (i.e., sugarcane bagasse ash) was used as a reinforcement material in AlSi10Mg alloy to enhance the alloy material properties for their better accomplishment in industrial applications. Initially, the chemical composition of the sugarcane bagasse ash particles was analyzed using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy test, which revealed the presence of rich Silica content in the ash particles. Sugarcane bagasse ash particles of three different weight percentages (i.e., 6, 9, and 12%) are reinforced with aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg) using stir casting process. The wear mechanisms and fractured morphology of the tensile tested specimen were analyzed with the aid of scanning electron microscopy. The result shows that the tensile, hardness, and impact strength were increased with increase in the weight percentage of sugarcane bagasse ash particles but ductility decreased when increasing the weight percentage. Further, dry sliding wear behavior of the fabricated composites was tested using Pin-on-Disc for three different loads (10 N, 20 N, 30 N). The wear rate and coefficient of friction for the hybrid matrix composites were found to be decreased while increasing the weight percentage of ash content, but they increase while increasing the applied load.     

Synergism of several carbon series additions on the microstructures and tribological behaviors of polyimide-based composites under sea water lubrication

The effects of several carbon series additions including graphite (Gr), carbon fiber (CF) and carbon nanotube (CNT) on the microstructures and tribological behaviors of polyimide-based (PI-based) composites under sea water lubrication were investigated systematically. Results showed that the incorporation of any filler improved the wear resistance of polyimide (PI) under sea water lubrication, but did not decrease the friction coefficient. Especially the combined incorporation of 10%Gr, 10%CF and 5%CNT (in volume) was the most effective in improving the anti-wear properties of PI. This suggested that there existed a synergetic effect among the three carbon series additions on improving the wear resistance of PI. During the friction and wear process, the carbon additions played different roles in improving the wear resistance of PI-based composites. CF with high compressive strength can carry the main load applied on the sliding surfaces to inhibit the wear of PI matrix. CNT can decrease the stress concentration around CF and further protect CF from being broken. Gr in the form of much thinner layer can not only improve the loading capacity, but also play the same role of CNT to avoid CF carrying too much load. More importantly, Gr, CF and CNT worked synergistically to condense the microstructure of PI-based composite and ameliorate the interfacial combination between all fillers and PI matrix, which well explained why the PI–10%Gr–10%CF–5%CNT composite had excellent tribological properties, even under heavy load or high sliding speed.     

水润滑条件下氧化锆颗粒及碳纤维共混增强聚醚醚酮复合材料的摩擦性能研究

通过熔融共混法制备了碳纤维(CF)和氧化锆颗粒(ZrO_2)共混增强聚醚醚酮(PEEK)复合材料,并对其水中的摩擦学性能进行了研究。实验结果表明,该混杂增强复合材料在水中具有优异的摩擦学性能,其摩擦系数随载荷的增加无明显变化,而磨损率则随着载荷的增加而逐渐降低。该材料在水中的磨损机制主要表现为轻微的磨粒磨损和疲劳磨损,碳纤维是复合材料耐磨性得到增强的主要原因,其作为复合材料摩擦面表层的主要承载相,承担了两摩擦面之间的大部分载荷,并保护聚合物基体免于受到对磨副的严重磨损。氧化锆颗粒的加入则有效抑制了摩擦过程中碳纤维的破损与脱落,从而使得混杂增强PEEK复合材料比单纯碳纤维增强的PEEK复合材料具有更加优异的耐磨性能。但过多颗粒的加入会加剧疲劳磨损,从而降低材料的耐磨性。     

Analysis of friction between articular cartilage and polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel artificial cartilage

Many biomaterials are being used to repair damaged articular cartilage. In particular, poly vinyl alcohol hydrogel has similar mechanical properties to natural cartilage under compressive and shearing loading. Here, three-factor and two-level friction experiments and long-term tests were conducted to better evaluate its tribological properties. The friction coefficient between articular cartilage and the poly vinyl alcohol hydrogel depended primarily on the three factors of load, speed, and lubrication. When the speed increased from 10 to 20 mm/s under a load of 10 N, the friction coefficient increased from 0.12 to 0.147. When the lubricant was changed from Ringer’s solution to a hyaluronic acid solution, the friction coefficient decreased to 0.084 with loads as high as 22 N. The poly vinyl alcohol hydrogel was severely damaged and lost its top surface layers, which were transferred to the articular cartilage surface. Wear was observed in the surface morphologies, which indicated the occurrence of surface adhesion of bovine cartilage. Surface fatigue and adhesive wear was the dominant wear mechanism.
