Adhesion Friction

AbstractThis paper reviews the author's research of the adhesion, friction, and micromechanical properties of materials and presents examples of the results. The ceramic and metallic materials studied include silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, and iron-base amorphous alloys. The design and operation of a torsion balance adapted for study of adhesion from the Cavendish balance are discussed first. The pull-off force (adhesion) and shear force (friction) required to break the interfacial junctions between contacting surfaces of the materials were examined at various temperatures in a vacuum. The surface chemistry of the materials was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Properties and environmental conditions of the surface regions which affect adhesion and friction - such as surface segregation, composition, crystal structure, surface chemistry, and temperature were also studied.

Adsorption Performance

The objective of this research was to explore the changes of the pore structure and surface properties of nitric-modified lignite and base the adsorption performance on physical and chemical adsorbent characteristics. To systematically evaluate pore structure and surface chemistry effects, several lignite samples were treated with different concentrations of nitric acid in order to get different pore structure and surface chemistry adsorbent levels. A common heavy metal ion contaminant in water, Pb2+, served as an adsorbate probe to demonstrate the change of modified lignite adsorption properties. The pore structure and surface properties of lignite samples before and after modification were characterized by static nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that nitric acid modification can increase the ability of lignite to adsorb Pb2+. The adsorption amount of Pb2+ increased from 14.45 mg·g−1 to 30.68 mg·g−1. Nitric acid reacted with inorganic mineral impurities such as iron dolomite in lignite and organic components in coal, which caused an increase in pore size and a decrease in specific surface areas. A hydrophilic adsorbent surface more effectively removed Pb2+ from aqueous solution. Nitric acid treatment increased the content of polar oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups on the surface of lignite. Treatment introduced nitro groups, which enhanced the negative electrical properties, the polarity of the lignite surface, and its metal ion adsorption performance, a result that can be explained by enhanced water adsorption on hydrophilic surfaces.

Decarburized Layer

The aim of the present work was to study the surface chemistry, microstructure, and local corrosion processes at the decarburized layer of the SAE 9254 automotive spring steel. The samples were austenitized at 850°C and 900°C, and oil quenched. The microstructure was investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The surface chemistry was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization were used to assess the global corrosion behavior of the decarburized samples. Scanning electrochemical microscopy was used to evaluate the influence of decarburization on the local corrosion activity. Microstructural characterization and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicate a dependence of the local electrochemical processes with the steel microconstituents and Si oxides in the decarburized layer.

Effect Of Oxygen

We report on the (electro) chemical etching behavior, surface morphology and composition of n-type Ge (100) in acidic halide solutions using various analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The use of an integrated (electro) chemical etching chamber connected to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument to exclude the effect of oxygen from atmosphere is highlighted.
