Abstract Tribological properties of a-C:H coatings has been investigated in various friction conditions. It is clear that temperature and mating materials give effects on tribological properties. In this study, we especially focus on the effect of mating material on its tribological properties of a-C:H coatings. Ball-on-disk friction test is conducted between a-C:H coating and 5 kinds of mating material, which is SiC, SiC(O)_800 (SiC oxidized at 800°C), SiC(O)_1050°C, SiC(O)_1300°C, and Quartz glass. It is found that a-C:H coatings shows low friction coefficient and low specific wear rate when O/Si ratio of the element content of mating material is 2, in other words, mating material is SiO2. In the wear scar of a-C:H coating after friction test with SiC, severe damage was confirmed. It is considered that a-C:H coating and SiO2 show low adhesion even at high temperature, which leads low friction and wear. Compared SiC(O) with Quartz, the friction coefficients with a-C:H coatings are respectively 0.013 and 0.038. Even though SiC(O) and Quartz are both SiO2, the tribological properties are different. On the wear track of SiC(O), transferred things from a-C:H coating are confirmed.

This paper presents a facile and effective method for preparing Ni/NbSe2 composites in order to improve the wettability of NbSe2 and copper matrix, which is helpful in enhancing the friction-reducing and anti-wear properties of copper-based composites. The powder metallurgy (P/M) technique was used to fabricate copper-based composites with different weight fractions of Ni/NbSe2, and tribological properties of composites were evaluated by using a ball-on-disk friction-and-wear tester. Results indicated that tribological properties of copper-based composites were improved by the addition of Ni/NbSe2. In particular, copper-based composites containing 15 wt.% Ni/NbSe2 showed the lowest friction coefficient (0.16) and wear rate (4.1 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1) among all composites.

The tribological properties of polyimide (PI) composites reinforced with graphite or MoS2 sliding in liquid alkali and water as well as dry friction were investigated using a ring-on-ring tester. The results show that the friction coefficient (μ) and wear rate (W) for both graphite/PI and MoS2/PI composites in different liquid mediums are μdry>μwater >μalkali and Wwater>Wdry >Walkali. Results also indicate that the friction coefficient and wear rate of the PI composites filled with different solid lubricants are μMoS2 >μgraphite and W MoS2 >Wgraphite in different liquid mediums. In addition, the hydrophobic inorganic fillers are fit for the reinforcement of polymer-based composites sliding in liquid mediums. It is also concluded from the authors’ work that the wear rate and friction coefficient of polymer-based (such as PI, PTFE) composites in the alkali lubricated conditions is lowest among all the friction conditions. This may be attributed to the ionic hydration in the alkaline solution.

The YBa2Cu3Ox/Ag and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox/Ag self-lubricating composites were prepared using powder metallurgic method. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-synthesized samples were characterized by XRD and SEM. The YBa2Cu3Ox/Ag and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox/Ag self-lubricating composites were found to compose of superconductor phase and Ag phase. The tribological properties from ultra-low temperature to room temperature of the composites were studied by pin-on-disk friction test. It was found that the friction coefficients of pure YBa2Cu3Ox(YBCO) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox(BSCCO) were both dropped abruptly when the temperature cooled below the superconducting transition temperature. At room temperature, the friction coefficient of pure YBa2Cu3Oxis 0.68~0.95, when mixing 15wt% Ag, the friction coefficient of the sample decreased to the lowest value 0.11. The friction coefficient of pure Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox is 0.15~0.17, When Ag content reach 10wt%, the coefficient was lowest (average value is 0.13). The addition of appropriate amount of Ag obviously improve the tribological property of YBCO, while only slightly meliorate that of BSCO. On the other hand, the YBCO/Ag composites exhibit better tribological properties than BSCCO/Ag composites at higher load under the same experimental condition.

The friction and wear characteristics of PES/metal matrix composite materials were tested by the ball-disc friction pair of UMT-2 friction and wear test machine. The plastic layer is composed of distinct components. The results showed that: the tribological properties of PES/metal matrix composites were improved significantly after added 5wt % of the LCP. With the increasing of PTFE the PES/metal matrix composite material friction coefficient and wear rate were decreasing when the load of 10N and rotating speed of 400rmp. But the friction coefficient and wear rate increased when the mass fraction of PTFE more than 22 wt %. The tribological properties were the best when the PTFE content was 18 wt % to 25 wt % in the plastic layer.

The silane coupling agent KH550 is used to modify foamed Fe powder(FFP) surface for obtain the hydrophobic surface, which is the very important component in semi-metallic friction material. It can improve high temperature bonding force between FFP and phenolic resin, further improve friction coefficient stableness of friction material and abrasion resistance. The modification effect of FFP is characterized by IR, and the tribological properties is characterized by XD-MSM constant speed friction test machine, the surface topography is characterized by SEM. The results indicate that FFP has been bonded to silane coupling agent, and formed hydrophobic surface what has the alkyl group. The changing of friction coefficient has reduced 23%, the average wear rate has declined 28.6%,and the wear rate has declined 32% at 350 °C after the friction material with modified FFP compare with the one with original FFP. And those changing are all because of the fact that the FFP modified by KH550 is difficult to peel off during the high temperature.

Aluminum-based composite materials reinforced with fullerene soot, which is a mixture of fullerene and amorphous carbon, are promising materials for friction and wear applications. Composite materials: aluminum with 2% fullerene soot (f.s) and Al with 2% f.s and 2% Cu were obtained via mechanical milling followed by hot pressing. The tribological properties (friction and wear) of the listed composites were investigated and compared with the results for pure aluminum obtained under similar conditions. It has been shown that the addition of fullerene soot reduces the friction coefficient by 25%. At additional alloying with copper, the friction coefficient decreased by 35% in comparison with pure aluminum and also lad to a decrease in friction fluctuations. The wear rate of composite Al with 2% f.s decreased twice in comparison with that of pure aluminum, and with additional alloying it decreased 2.5 times. The morphology of the wear surfaces was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of fullerene soot and additional alloying on the wear mechanism was shown.

Ultrasonic motors are typically driven by the dry friction force between the rotor and the stator; the friction pairs’ high friction coefficient and low wear rate are two essential elements for improving the operational stability with longer service life. In this research article, high-precision microgroove arrays were manufactured on the surfaces of the stator and rotor of the TRUSM60 ultrasonic motor using laser machining. Dry friction and wear tests between the stator and the rotor were carried out with pin-on-disc using HSR-2M high-speed reciprocating friction and wear tester to determine the tribological properties of the ultrasonic motor. According to a different distribution of microgrooves on the two contact surfaces, the influence of smooth surface, single-sided texture, and double-sided texture on the friction pair's friction performance were discussed. The results show that the textured surface can substantially increase the coefficient of friction of the contact surface and reduce the rate of wear. The one-sided textured phosphor bronze surface with a microgroove width of 200μm and an area ratio of 20% had the highest coefficient of friction of 0.334 and a friction increase rate of 36.3%. Similarly, the single-sided textured Polyimide surface attained the highest friction coefficient of 0.355 and friction increase rate of 44.9% when the groove width is 150μm and the area ratio is 30%. A higher friction coefficient of the double-sided texture can be obtained through reasonable parameter configuration than the single-sided texture. The included angle of 0° between the two textured surfaces produced the highest friction coefficient of 0.368 and the wear rate of the phosphor bronze and polyimide surfaces were 2.01 × 10−4 mm3/N-m and 1.949 × 10−3 mm3/N-m, respectively. The result provides an essential benchmark for enhancing the tribological performance of ultrasonic motors and increasing the output torque.

Wear behaviours of La2O3-MoSi2composite against SiC under different loads at 1000°C and 0.126m/s sliding speed in air were investigated by using an XP-5 type high temperature friction and wear tester. The worn surfaces and phase of the sample were observed by scanning election microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Results showed that friction coefficient and wear rate of La2O3-MoSi2composite and SiC decreased with the increase of loads. The wear mechanisms of La2O3-MoSi2composite are oxidation, adhesion abrasion and fatigue pitting.

Wear behaviors of MoSi2against Al2O3or SiC under 30N at 1000°C in air have been investigated by using an XP-5 type High Temperature Friction and Wear Tester. The worn surfaces and phases of samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer, respectively. Result shows the wear rate and friction coefficient of MoSi2decreases with the increase of sliding speed. SiC is superior to Al2O3as the counter-face materials of MoSi2. Serious adhesion leads to very high wear rate of Al2O3in this experiment. SiC shows a surprising mass weighing phenomenon, which is caused by oxidation. The main wear mechanism of MoSi2against Al2O3is oxidation and adhesion. However when against SiC, it is chiefly controlled by grinding.

The effects of boron and argon ion implantation on the tribological characteristics of SUS440C stainless steel, sliding against a SUS440C ball (unimplanted) were investigated at room temperature using a friction test apparatus employing a ball-plate geometry in the absence of a lubricant. Wear performance was estimated using a profilometer tracing of the specimen wear track. Boron implantation reduced both the friction and wear of SUS440C. The friction coefficient of SUS440C was reduced from 0.75 to 0.15. SEM observations of wear track topography suggest that the reduction of the friction coefficient can be attributed to reduced adhesion due to boron implantation. The friction coefficient of the boron implanted layer decreased with an increase in the total ion dose. Argon implantation was carried out to distinguish the effects of implantation from the influence of contamination. Argon implantation increased the friction coefficient from 0.8 to 1.0 in contrast with boron implantation.
