Friction And Wear Tests

Friction and wear tests of Al2O3 and SiC were conducted from room temperature to 1200°C both in air and in vacuum. Results show that the wear mechanism of Al2O3 is dominated by micro fracture, debris abrasive and delamination at temperatures below 600 °C, while is controlled by plastic deformation and recrystallization among 600~1200 °C, resulting in an obvious decrease of wear loss. The wear rate and surface microstructure of SiC are closely depending on the testing temperature, atmosphere and contact pressure. Oxidation of SiC at elevated temperatures plays important role on the wear rate. Self lubrication of both Al2O3 and SiC at high temperatures was observed, which is mainly depending on the formation of a specific surface layer composed of nano-particles or very thin glassy film.

Friction And Wear Tests

Purpose Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is adopted in water-lubricated bearings for its excellent performance. This paper aims to investigate the tribological properties of UHMWPE with a molecular weight of 10.2 million (g mol‐1) under different molding temperatures. Design/methodology/approach The UHMWPE samples were prepared by mold pressing under constant pressure and different molding temperatures (140°C, 160°C, 180°C, 200°C, 220°C). The friction and wear tests in water were conducted at the RTEC tribo-tester. Findings The friction coefficient and wear loss decreased first and rose later with the increasing molding temperature. The minimums of the friction coefficient and wear loss were found at the molding temperatures of 200°C. At low melting temperatures, the UHMWPE molecular chains could not unwrap thoroughly, leading to greater abrasive wear. On the other hand, high melting temperatures will cause the UHMWPE molecular chains to break up and decompose. The optimal molding temperatures for UHMWPE were found to be 200°C. Originality/value Findings are of great significance for the design of water-lubricated UHMWPE bearings.

Friction And Wear Tests

The effects of hydrogen on friction and wear properties of Ti–6Al–4V alloy sliding against GCr15 steel were investigated through dry sliding friction and wear tests in atmosphere at room temperature. Wear mechanism was determined by studying the morphology and chemical element of worn surface using SEM and EDS. Results show that friction coefficient decreases slightly and wear rate increases after hydrogenation. Wear mechanism is discussed.

Si3N4 reinforced Al6061 composite is fabricated by liquid metallurgy technique. Si3N4 particles are nickel coated prior to addition to molten metal to improve its wettability and to ensure excellent bond between matrix and the reinforcement. Metallographic studies, friction and wear tests were carried out using pin on disc type machine. Coefficient of friction and wear rate were measured at loads varying from 20–100N and sliding velocities from 0.314–1.574m/s. It is observed that Al6061-4wt%Si3N4 composites exhibited lower wear rate and lower coefficient of friction when compared with matrix alloy under all the test conditions studied.

Friction And Wear Tests

Friction and wear tests of TiB2 sliding against SiC were conducted without lubricant from room temperature to 1200°C in air and in vacuum. The friction coefficient of the couple of TiB2/SiC is affected obviously by the oxidation of TiB2. It increases with the increase of temperature and reaches a maximum at some temperature in air, then decreases remarkably. The friction coefficient of TiB2/SiC in vacuum exhibites almost a constant and keeps smaller value than that in air. Transition of TiB2 onto the sliding surface of SiC was observed, which improved the wear resistance of SiC at high temperatures.

Friction And Wear Tests

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of engineered micro-structures on the tribological properties of metal-polyetheretherketone (PEEK) surface. Design/methodology/approach Circular dimples with diameters of 25 and 50 µm were designed and manufactured on PEEK plate specimens using picosecond laser. Reciprocating friction and wear tests on a ball-on-flat configuration were performed to evaluate the tribological properties of the designed micro-structures in dry contacts. The loading forces of 0.9 and 3 N were applied. Findings As a result, obvious fluctuations of coefficient of friction curve were observed in tribosystems consisting of non-textured and textured PEEK with circular dimples of 25 µm in diameter. GCr15 ball/textured PEEK plate specimens with circular dimples of 50 µm in diameter revealed a superior friction and wear property. Originality/value Different to the existing studies in which the tribopairs consist of hard bearing couples, this study investigated the tribological properties of the engineered micro-structures on the hard-on-soft bearing couples.

Friction And Wear Tests

ABSTRACTFriction and wear tests on ion-implanted 440C stainless steel discs have been extended to high Hertzian stresses (≤ 3150 MPa). Implantation of 2 × 1015 Ti/mm2 (180–90 keV) and 2 × 1015 C/mm2 (30 keV) into 440C reduces friction (∼40%) and wear (> 80%) for Hertzian stresses as large as 2900 MPa, stresses which significantly exceed the yield strength of 440C (∼1840 MPa). Implantation of 4 × 1015 N/mm2 (50 keV) into 440C reduces friction slightly (∼25%) for Hertzian stresses > 1840 MPa but provides little or no reduction in wear. The amount of Ti remaining in the wear tracks correlates with the reductions in friction and wear. The implantation of Ti and C produces an amorphous surface layer which is believed to reduce friction and wear, whereas N implantation is expected to produce hard nitride particles which probably do not modify the hardness of 440C (KHN = 789) significantly.

Friction And Wear Tests

Characteristics of the frictional layer in high-purity Ti3SiC2 and TiC-contained Ti3SiC2, sliding against low carbon steel, were investigated. The friction and wear tests were made using a block-on-disk type friction tester with sliding speed of 20 m/s and several normal pressures from 0.1 MPa to 0.8 MPa. It was found that all friction surfaces, whether high-purity Ti3SiC2 or TiC-contained Ti3SiC2, were covered by a layer consisting of the oxides of Ti, Si and Fe. The layer was sticky, superimposed layer-by-layer, and the compact was increased with the normal pressure increasing. Because its antifriction effect, the friction coefficient decreases from the maximum 0.35 to 0.27 with increase in the normal pressure from 0.2 MPa to 0.8 MPa for the high-purity Ti3SiC2, and decreases from the maximum 0.55 to 0.37 for the same change of the normal pressure for the TiC-contained Ti3SiC2. The contained TiC grains had effects on the stickiness, liquidness, as well as the morphology of the layer, and induced the friction coefficient to increase in the entire level.
