The modern technology developments have seeded for the necessity of composite materials that are incorporated with high hardness, high tensile strength, and better wear properties. Cu–Sn–Ni alloy as well as the composites of varying weight percentage of Si3N4 (5, 10, and 15) are fabricated by liquid metallurgy technique. The alloy and composites are tested for their tensile strength and hardness on Universal Testing Machine and Vickers microhardness tester, respectively. Based on the tests, Cu–Sn–Ni/10 wt. % of Si3N4 is found to have optimum mechanical properties. The scuff type adhesive wear behavior is studied through pin-on-disk tribometer under dry sliding conditions for Cu–Sn–Ni/10 wt. % of Si3N4 composite. Taguchi's design of experiments technique based on L27 orthogonal array model is used for analyses of process parameters in three levels such as applied load (10, 20, and 30 N), sliding distance (500, 1000, and 1500 m), and sliding velocity (1, 2, and 3 m/s). The parameters are ranked based on the signal-to-noise ratio and the analysis of variance approach. Based on wear results, applied load is found to have highest stature on influencing wear rate followed by sliding distance and sliding velocity. A generalized wear rate equation is obtained based on the linear regression model and its feasibility is checked. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses revealed severe delamination occurred on maximum load condition. The development of this copper composite can have the possibility of replacing aluminum bearings.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of laser surface texturing (LST) on the wear behavior of C-263 nickel-based superalloy and to identify the optimum wear operating condition. Design/methodology/approach C-263 nickel-based superalloy was selected as substrate material and pico-second Nd-YAG laser was used to fabricate the waviness groove texture on their surface. Wear experiments were designed based on Box-Bhenken design with three factors of sliding velocity, sliding distance and applied load. Wear experiments were performed using pin on disc tribometer. Morphologies of textures and worn-out surfaces were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Surface topographies and surface roughness of the textures were evaluated by weight light interferometry. The response surface methodology was adopted to identify the optimum wear operating condition and ANOVA to identify the significant factors. Findings LST improves the wear resistance of C-263 nickel-based superalloy by appeoximately 82 per cent. Higher wear rate occurs at maximum values of all operating conditions, and applied load affects the coefficient of friction. Applied load significantly affects the wear rate of un-textured specimen. The interaction of sliding velocity and applied load also affects the wear rate of textured specimens. The optimum parameters to get minimum wear rate for un-textured specimens are 1.5 m/s sliding velocity, 725 m sliding distance and 31 N of applied load. For textured specimens, the optimum values are 1.5 m/s sliding distance, 500 m sliding distance and 40 N of the applied load. Originality/value Literature on laser texturing on nickel-based superalloy is very scarce. Specifically, the effect of laser texturing on wear behavior of the nickel-based superalloy C-263 alloy is not yet reported.

Duplex stainless steels contain similar amounts of austenite  and ferrite α. This two-phase microstructure leads to an excellent combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, there are few works dealing with the wear behaviour of these steels. This paper aims to determine the sliding wear mechanisms of a duplex stainless steel type 2205. In order to do it, three different sliding velocities (0.2, 0.7 and 1.2 m/s) and six sliding distances (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 m) were selected. The results show that wear rate depends on both sliding velocity and sliding distance. The wear mechanisms detected were plowing, microcracking and microcutting (typical mechanisms of fatigue wear). These mechanisms evolve according to sliding velocity and sliding distance, highlighting a transition zone in which wear rate is reduced.

Aluminium/graphite composites are the need of modern times for addressing the fuel saving issues. The graphite in such composites act as solid lubricant and it reduce external fuel requirements. But such composites are having degraded mechanical properties due to the graphite content in composite. In order to solve the negative effect of graphite on mechanical properties of LM13/Gr self-lubricating composite this study was conducted to find out the mechanical properties of LM13/B4C/Gr Metal Matrix Composites. Boron carbide was selected as reinforcement because of its better reinforcement properties compared to alumina and silicon carbide. The properties of the hybrid composites were compared with the LM13/Gr self-lubricating composite to study the enhancement in mechanical properties that has been caused by the boron carbide particles. Using computerized universal testing machine and rock-well hardness tester mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength were tested. Pin on disk testing machine was used to analyse the wear behavior. The test results indicates that by raising weight % of boron carbide particles in the LM13, tensile strength and hardness of the hybrid composites was increased compared to self-lubricating composite accompanied by better tribological properties.

The main aim of this article deals with the wear behavior of mechanically alloyed 17-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) Ferritic steel consolidated through Vacuum Hot Pressing (VHP) at temperature level of 1170 °C under pressure level of 60 MPa with 60 minutes as holding time and with rate of cooling of 50 ˚C /min and a vacuum level of 10-3 torr. The persuade of wear process parameters were investigated based on the load applied, sliding velocity and sliding distance at a temperature of 350°C on dry sliding track of 17-Cr Ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened steel (Fe-17Cr-0.35Y2O3 -1.5ZrO2 -4Al (%wt). Wear test was conducted in a dry atmosphere using a pinon-disc wear testing machine. Wear behavior of 17-Cr Ferritic ODS steel was analyzed by using Taguchi approach. To examine the process parameter during high temperature wear rate analysis of variance and signal to noise ratios were used. During the wear analysis sliding distance was found to be influential parameters of wear rate for 17-Cr Ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened steel succeeded by functional load and sliding velocity. The regression model was found to calculate the rate of wear for 17-Cr Ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened steel.

This research is devoted to study the effect of addition of different weight percent from SiCp ( 2, 4, 6, 8 ) to Al– 4 Cu alloy which have been fabricated by liquid metallurgy method on the dry sliding wear behavior and mechanical properties. Wear characteristics of Al–SiC composites have been investigated under dry sliding conditions and compared with base alloy. Dry sliding wear tests have been carried out using pin-on-disk wear test under normal applied loads 5, 10, 15 and 20 N and at different sliding velocity of (2.7, 3.7, 4.7) m/sec. It was also observed that the wear rate varies linearly with increases normal applied load but lower in composites as compared to the base material. The wear mechanism appears to be oxidative for both Al – Cu alloy and composites under the given conditions of load and sliding velocity as indicated by optical microscopic of the worn surfaces. Further, it was found from the experimentation that the wear rate decreases linearly with increasing weight percent of silicon carbide. The best results have been obtained at 8 % wt SiC . We also observed that the yield strength, tensile strength increases with increasing wt% of SiC , but the ductility decreases.

The tribological performance of commercially used tire rubber was evaluated at ambient conditions under dry, wet and 3.5% NaCl corrosive environment. A pin-on-disc apparatus was used for the experiment. Applied load of 2.5N at sliding velocity of 0.246 ms-1 distance ranging from 75m-2650m were used for this study. The results showed that the nature of the wear rate was similar in all environments as initially increases afterwards decreases to more or less a constant value. Moreover, the wear rate in dry environment was significantly higher than that of wet and corrosive environment. Water tends to lubricate the contact, reduce the heat generation as well as for sealing effects thus the wear rate is reduced. Coefficient of friction in wet and corrosive environment showed the lower value due to sealing and lubricating effect between the particles. The damage behaviors of worn surfaces were analyzed by optical microscope and SEM. At dry sliding condition greater voids and holes are observed.

Minimum Wear

The wear characteristics of untextured and Laser Surface Textured (LST) hard forged steel samples were dissected using a Pin-On-Disc Tribometer. In this analysis, the input parameters such as sliding distance, sliding velocity and applied load were selected as experiment parameters. Before LST, the forged steel was hardened at a high temperature of around 900ºC to 1400ºC followed by a rapid cooling process which causes the iron atoms to change their position with metal lattice as martensite. The characterization was carried out on an optical microscope (OM) and white light interferometer (WLI). The results showed that the LST samples have minimum wear rate of 2.7410-4 to 4.3910-4 mm3/m and co-efficient of friction of 0.22 to 0.44 compared to untextured samples.

Dry sliding wear studies were investigated in pin-on-disc apparatus. The wear tests were carried out range of applied load 20 to 60 N and constant sliding velocity (0.5 m/s) under sliding distance of 500 m. The wear behavior of aluminium metal matrix composite (AMC) has been compared with the commercially used 25 grade Gray Cast Iron disc (GCI).The results showed that the wear rate of AMC disc decreased with increasing the applied load. However the wear rate of AMC disc with respective pin decreased with increasing the applied load. The coefficient friction increased with increasing the applied load. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) used to investigate the disc and pin. The wear debris was analyzed by SEM image.

Dry sliding wear behavior of the creep-resistant magnesium alloy Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr and its composites have been investigated in this study. Magnesium matrix composites are prepared by squeezing casting infiltration of Mg alloy into Saffil preforms. Wear tests are conducted using ball-on-flat sliding wear set up under a sliding velocity range of 1-15 cm/s and at an applied load range of 1-8 N for a constant sliding distance of 150 m. According to results, mechanical and wear-resistance properties of magnesium alloy improved by introducing Saffil fibers, and the alumina binder composite has a higher strength and lower wear rate than silica binder composite. The wear rates of the matrix alloy, composites and their counter-face balls increase with increasing applied load. The increment of sliding velocities decreases the wear rate of the matrix alloy under the tested sliding velocities. A critical threshold of sliding velocity for the wear rate of both composites and their counter-faces is about 9 cm/s. Abrasion and plastic deformation are considered to be the dominant mechanism for the matrix alloy in tested conditions, and for both composites under low sliding velocity (<10 cm/s) and at low applied loads (1-5 N). Delamination is the wear mechanism of the silica binder composites at a high applied load (8 N). Adhesion and oxidation are the controlling wear mechanism of matrix alloy and composites under a sliding velocity of 15 cm/s.

The current study deals with the development of a hybrid metal matrix composite and studies their wear characteristics. Suitable wt - % of Al2O3/B4C was reinforced into Al-Si-Mg alloy and the composites were fabricated using liquid metallurgy route. The developed composites were analyzed for their wear behavior by using a wear testing apparatus. Three process parameters including applied load, sliding distance, and velocity were chosen for carrying out the wear experiments. The influence of the reinforcement on wear rate was investigated through response surface methodology methods. The formulation of the regression equation was done and the effect of each experimental parameter was studied. Results from the investigation illustrate that the wear rate was found to decrease and then increase with the increasing wt-% of reinforcement and the wear rate was found to increase with an increase in the sliding distance but the wear rate was found to decrease with an increase in the sliding velocity. The worn-out surface of the hybrid composite was characterized using SEM.
