The tribological behavior of PPS filled with molybdenum-concentrate (MC) deposit from Armenia was studied. The deposit MC was a complex mixture of compounds such as MoS2, SO2, CuS, Al2O3, and others. Whereas MC as the filler in particulate form reduced the steady state wear rate of PPS, the optimum reduction in wear was found to occur with the addition of PTFE along with PPS. The behavior of PPS composites made with MC and PTFE sliding against a steel counterface was investigated as a function of the MC and PTFE proportions, sliding speed, and counterface roughness. Of all the above factors, the change in MC proportion, while PTFE was also present, had the greatest effect on the reduction in wear rate. The variation of the coefficient of friction was found to be in the narrow range of 0.27-0.33. The lowest wear rate was found in the case of PPS+ 17vol.%MC+10vol.%PTFE composite sliding at 1.5 m/s against a counterface roughness of 0.1 μm Ra.

Abstract The tribological behavior of zinc phosphate impregnated graphite against nickel-based superalloy (GH4169) in oil environment was investigated, and the lubrication and wear mechanism were also determined in this study. Tribological tests were run under different tribological conditions using a ring-on-disk device. The results showed that, under any load conditions, zinc phosphate impregnated graphite had the lowest coefficient of friction and wear rate at 200 rpm. Under the identical rotating speed condition, the minimum coefficient of friction and wear rate were obtained when the load was 500 N and 1000 N. The lubrication mechanism, which could be reflected by the transfer layer of friction counterpart, was related to the coefficient of friction, wear rate and oil temperature to affect contact characteristics of two solid surfaces and formation ability of liquid film. The wear mechanism of zinc phosphate impregnated graphite under oil lubrication conditions was dominated by abrasive wear and material removal was achieved through the fracture mechanism.

A series of experiments on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire is performed on high-speed friction and wear tester with electric current. The results show that the friction coefficient is generally maintained between 0.24 and 0.37. In the absence of electric current, the coefficient of friction is higher than that in the presence of electric current. The wear rate of carbon strip materials is generally not more than 0.014g/km. In particular, the wear rate under the electric current of 240 A is 14 times more than that in the absence of electric current. By observing the scar of worn surface with optical microscope, it can be found that there are obvious slip scars and arc erosive pits. The dominated wear mechanisms are abrasive wear and arc erosion in electrical sliding frictional process.

Dry bearing tests have been made with a PTFE fibre/glass fibre/phenolic resin composite against stainless steel to examine the influence of time of sliding, counterface roughness and load. The worn surfaces were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA). It is shown that the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear are strongly influenced by the formation of third bodies on both sliding surfaces. The structure and composition of these third bodies depend on the time of sliding and the load, but are independent of counterface roughness. Wear of the PTFE composite appears to occur on several scales, and considerable degradation of PTFE is evident within the third body (transfer film) on the counterface. The significance of these observations to the measured friction and wear rates is discussed.

Assuming that the radii of curvature at tips of spherical asperities are distributed, analyses of friction and wear in boundary lubrication are carried out by considering the ploughing action of hard asperities. To check the theory, the coefficient of friction and the wear rate of an annular end surface of a mild-steel cylinder rubbed by that of a hardened-steel cylinder are measured for various degrees of roughness from 0.038 to 0.568 μ Rmax under lubricated conditions. The general trend of the experimental results is in agreement with the calculations. The results also indicate that the repetition of the ploughing action of hard asperities forms the wear particles.

Friction and wear are the main causes of energy dissipation in automotive engines. To minimize the frictional power losses, it is extremely important to improve the tribological characteristics of ring/liner assembly which accounts for almost 40–50% frictional power losses. The present study attempts to mitigate friction and wear of the ring/liner tribo-pair using GNP/SAE 15W40 nano-lubricant. To simulate the ring/liner interface, the tribological performance of nano-lubricants was assessed using a tribometer based on ASTMG181 standard under various operating conditions. The coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate lowered using graphene nano-lubricants (GNL). The tribological results showed that friction coefficient, wear rate, and surface roughness of piston ring improved in the range 17.71%–42.33%, 25%–40.62%, and 61%, respectively, under GNL lubricating conditions during the boundary lubrication. Further, the characterization of wear tracks of piston ring and cylinder liner confirmed tribo-film formation on worn surfaces resulting in decreased COF and wear rate.

Using C/C composite and chrome bronze as a friction couple, the frictional wear properties of C/C composite with electric current is studied in this paper. The results have shown that current, velocity and load are important factors to affect the frictional wear properties of C/C composite with electric current. Wear rate of C/C composite increases with the increase of arc energy .The coefficient of friction and the wear rate increase with the increase of velocity when the electric current is constant of 100A. The coefficient of friction increases but the wear rate decreases with the increase of load when the electric current is constant at 100A. The coefficient of friction decreases but the wear rate increases with the increase of current when the load is constant of 80N. Comparing with no electric current, the coefficient of friction of C/C composite with electric current decreases but the wear rate of that increases obviously. The wear mechanism of C/C composite is mainly of electric wear caused by arc erosion under the condition of current-carrying.

The tribological properties of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites reinforced with carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) were studied. Sliding tests in a pin-on-disk configuration were used to study the tribological properties. The wear rate of reinforced composites in the early part of sliding was lower than that of PPS but over extended sliding the reinforcement was not effective in reducing the wear rate. The coefficient of friction was not greatly affected by the presence of CNF and CNT. The lack of transition from run-in to steady state wear was attributed to the increased wear rates of PPS composites.

Studies have shown that reinforced paper-based friction material with 600 µm carbon fiber length possesses a high dynamic friction coefficient but is subjected to abrasive wear during sliding contact. This work is devoted to further investigate the effect of operating variables on this friction material subjected to high operating conditions. A pin-on-disc test was carried out to determine the tribological behavior of this friction material sliding against 65Mn steel. The friction and wear rate results from measurements were discussed. The highest friction value of about 0.3 was obtained by varying the applied load at 120 N while the lowest friction value close to 0.02 was obtained when the sliding speed was 0.026 m/s. Increasing the sliding speed above 0.30 m/s caused constant temperature (175 °C) to fluctuate due to high friction heat generation on the sliding surface. The highest wear rate was 1.42 × 10−15m3/Nm by varying the sliding speed at 1.31 m/s. In contrast, the lowest wear rate was 2.1 × 10−16m3/Nm when the temperature was at 400 °C.
