The contact surfaces in a boundary lubricated spherical roller thrust bearing can change form due to sliding and particle generated wear. These form changes can seriously reduce the fatigue life of the bearings. An experimental test series has been performed where this effect was investigated in bearings with metal mixed amorphous carbon, Me-C: H, coated rollers that were tested against bearings with standard rollers. The experimental results show that while the bearings with standard rollers can fail due to wear, the bearings with coated rollers are at the same time almost unaffected by wear. Also the number of particles generated in the contact was significantly less when using coated rollers. There were twice as many self-generated particles when using a standard bearing compared with a coated bearing. The effect of the coating is discussed in terms of surface hardness, coefficient of friction and tribochemical phenomena. [S0742-4787(00)02004-X]

The paper presents data on measurements of friction and adhesion forces of silicon ball and silicon plate covered by DDPO4 (dodecylphosphoric acid ester), ODPO4 (octadecylphosphoric acid ester), SEBS (poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene]) and OTS (octadecyltrichlorsilane) and others. Tests were performed with reciprocating microtribometer and contact adhesion meter. The experimental results have shown, that coefficient of friction, between a silicon ball and silicon substrates modified by the monomolecular films, are varied in the range 0.05…0.25, with wear-resistance from 20 to 2000 cycles. An ambiguous correlation was found between friction and contact adhesion forces of investigated surfaces.

The wear-resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness can be greatly increased by using low temperature QPQ complex salt-bath treatment. And it is a new strengthening method without distortion in the treating process. The surface of 4Cr14Ni14W2Mo steel was treated using this method. The microstructure and depth of the treated surface for the steel were analyzed using SEM. The sliding wear resistance was tested on the M-2000 tester and the micro-hardness was tested using 401MVA microscopy hardness tester. The corrosion resistance was tested in the 5%NaCl water by using spraying method. The experimental results indicate that a certain depth of white layer and diffusion layer of the steel can be obtained by using low temperature QPQ complex salt-bath treatment. The nitriding compound layer with high hardness, superior wear resistance and stable microstructure, can also be obtained on the surface of the parts. The highest hardness in the surface is HV0.11012. The surface hardness is 2.8 times higher than that of inner part. The depth of white layer is from 10 to 12μm. The experimental results and applied results show that the low temperature QPQ complex salt-bath treatment has many advantages, such as fast nitriding speed, uniform heating, short process time, low treating temperature, small distortion, high production rate, low cost, stable nitriding quality no pollution and so on.

TC4 Ti alloy with the excellent properties can be applied to many fields, but the surface performance such as wear-resisting, fretting wear, contact corrosion etc.can't be met for many special demands. Laser cladding was applied on a TC4 Ti alloy to improve its properties. Mixed Ni,Ti and Nb powders were put onto the TC4 Ti alloy and subsequently treated by laser beam. The experimental results show that the surface hardness and wear resistance are significantly improved. The increase in wear resistance is predicted to be related to the "adaptive" wear mechanism of SMA.The microstructure and composition modifications in the surface layer were carefully investigated by using SEM, EDX and metallographic microscope. Experimental analyses show that the compositions of laser cladding coating are close to shape memory alloy of 44Ni-47Ti-9Nb,and differedt microstructure are rich with different elements. These experimental results are associated with laser processing techniques and alloy composition to some extent.

Surface textured and DLC coated (hydrogenated amorphous carbon) samples were assessed for their coating performance at 40 oC, 80 oC and 125 oC. As a result, textured a-C:H DLC demonstrated higher but stable coefficient of friction (COF) at high temperatures as compared to un-textured DLC samples. However, textured DLC samples showed higher wear resistance compared to un-textured DLC coating. The enhancement can be elucidated by the lower graphitization of textured DLC samples.

In 38MnVS6 steel, the morphology of sulfide inclusion has a strong influence on the fatigue life and machinability of the steel. In most cases, the MnS inclusions show strip morphology after rolling, which significantly affects the steel quality. Usually, the MnS inclusion with a spherical morphology is the best morphology for the steel quality. In the present work, tellurium was applied to 38MnVS6 micro-alloyed steel to control the MnS inclusion. Trace tellurium was added into 38MnVS6 steel and the effect of Te on the morphology, composition, size and distribution of MnS inclusions were investigated. Experimental results show that with the increase of Te content, the equivalent diameter and the aspect ratio of inclusion decrease strikingly, and the number of inclusions with small aspect ratio increases. The inclusions are dissociated and spherized. The SEM-EDS analysis indicates that the trace Te mainly dissolves in MnS inclusion. Once the MnS is saturated with Te, MnTe starts to generate and wraps MnS. The critical Te/S value for the formation of MnTe in the 38MnV6 steel is determined to be approximately 0.075. With the increase of Te/S ratio, the aspect ratio of MnS inclusion decreases and gradually reaches a constant level. The Te/S value in the 38MnVS6 steel corresponding to the change of aspect ratio from decreasing to constant ranges from 0.096 to 0.255. This is most likely to be caused by the saturation of Te in the MnS inclusion. After adding Te in the steel, rod-like MnS inclusion is modified to small inclusion and the smaller the MnS inclusion, the lower the aspect ratio.

A series of substituted polybenzoxazines was synthesized and studied as binders in non-asbestos friction composite materials. The structures of the polybenzoxazines were varied in a systemic fashion by increasing the number and position of pendant alkyl (methyl) groups and was accomplished using the respective aromatic amines during the polymer synthesis step. By investigating the key thermomechanical and tribological characteristics displayed by the composite materials, the underlying structure-properties relationships were deconvoluted. Composite friction materials with higher thermomechanical and wear resistance properties were obtained from polybenzoxazines with relatively high crosslink densities. In contrast, polybenzoxazines with relatively low crosslink densities afforded composite friction materials with an improved coefficient of friction values and specific wear rates.
