AbstractTribological behaviour is characterized by the strong nonlinear effects in its response, which are hardly identified with standard signal processing methods. One of the challenges in the analysis of wear phenomena is identification of its propagation and potential quantification. In our study, we propose application of wavelet-based methods, i.e. continuous wavelet transform and scale index for analysis of the dynamical response in the tribological pair. The analysed parameter will be the coefficient of friction, which is slightly changing with wear of the tribological pair. The performed analysis shows the variable response of the system in each considered state. Moreover, results obtained with wavelets are useful for its determination. The proposed methods can be particularly useful in the transportation applications, where the quantification of the friction force between the sliding counterparts is a crucial parameter, responsible for the power losses. Early and efficient identification of wear allows to predict damage and avoid undesirable downtime or time-consuming exchange of a worn out part.

On a Pin-on-Disc test rig with composite disc and steel pin tribological experiments were done on pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites plates. The wear and frictional behavior strongly depends on the structure. Also the normal load plays an important role in the frictional behavior, which is of greater importance than the speed. The formation of a thin polymer film onto the wear track results in a lowering of the coefficient of friction with 20%.

The dry sliding wear performance of hypereutectic A390 Al—Si alloy reinforced with graphite particulates (Grp) was investigated. Composites containing 4 and 8 wt% of Grp were produced by rheocasting technique followed by squeeze casting. Pins of the materials were rubbed against a 316 stainless steel disc using pin-on-ring type apparatus under various loads and speeds. It has been observed that both wear rate and the coefficient of friction of the composites decreased considerably with Grp additions. The A390/Grp composites exhibited higher wear resistance than those obtained for the monolithic A390 alloy. The formation of the hard tribo-layer on the surface of the composites assisted in increasing the wear resistance of these materials. It is believed that the reduction of the friction coefficient is attributed the presence of the graphite layers within the tribo-layer.

3D printing of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) were used to prepare specimens utilising fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology. Two colours of PLA filament were printed; white and grey, whereas ABS only in white colour. Determining the tribological properties of 3D printed samples have been carried out, through obtaining the frictional features of different 3D printable filaments. Alternating-motion system employed for measuring the tribological factors. Studying the difference between static and dynamic friction factors and the examination of wear values were included. A comparison among the tribological behaviour of the 3D printed polymers has been investigated. The printed white ABS and PLA specimens show insignificant differences in the results tendency. On the contrary, the grey PLA exhibits a considerable variation due to the incredible growth in the coefficient of friction and wear average as well.

This article reports the results of the study of an a-C:H:Si coating doped with silicon and produced by chemical deposition (PACVD). The effect of the coating on the tribological behaviour of IL-lubricated friction pairs was evaluated. The properties of the 100Cr6 steel specimens with and without the coating were compared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis were used for imaging the morphology of the coating surfaces and cross-sections and for identifying the elements in the coating composition. The contact angle of the investigated surfaces was measured with an optical tensiometer. Friction tests were performed on a ball-on-disc tribometer under dry friction and when lubricated with trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide ionic liquid. The geometrical structure of the surfaces before and after the tribological tests was measured using an optical profilometer. The ionic liquid used with the silicon-doped diamond-like coating under friction conditions reduced the coefficient of friction and wear. The results obtained from the tests and analysis allow for the conclusion that the use of DLC coatings a-C:H:Si lubricated with trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide contributes towards the improvement of tribological properties of sliding surfaces under friction.

The tribological properties of ZnO thin film coated on an aluminium work piece by RF magnetron sputtering were studied as a function of deposition power, substrate coating temperature, heat treatment and rotation speed. The variation in the coefficient of friction of ZnO films produced under various levels of coating parameters and conditions were experimentally determined using a pin-on-disk tribometer. The results showed that with change in deposition conditions and heat treatment, there are significant microstructural changes in ZnO films, which affect the coefficient of friction. The hardness of the prepared films was also tested using a Vickers Hardness testing machine. There was a consistent and considerable decrease in the friction coefficient of the aluminium working piece after ZnO coating. It is found that the ZnO can be used as a low friction coating material for components working under oxidative and high temperature environments.

Starvation occurs when the lubricated contact uses up the lubricant supply, and there is not enough lubricant in the contact to support the separation between solid surfaces. On the other hand, the use of textures on surfaces in lubricated contacts can result in a higher film thickness. In addition, a modification of the surface’s geometrical parameters can benefit the tribological behaviour of the contacts. In this article, for parallel sliding surfaces in starved lubricated conditions, the effect of surface texturing upon the coefficient of friction is investigated. It is shown that surface texturing may improve film formation under the conditions of starvation, and as a result, the frictional behaviour of the parallel sliding contact. Furthermore, the effect of starved lubrication on textured surfaces with different patterns in the presence of a cavitation effect, and its influence on frictional behaviour, is investigated. It is shown that surface texturing can reduce the coefficient of friction, and that under certain conditions, the texturing parameter could have an influence on the frictional behaviour of parallel sliding contacts in the starved lubrication regime.

Evaluation of tribological behaviour of Fe-W, Ni-W and Co-W coatings produced by electrodeposition at various bulk current densities (BCD) was under investigation in the given study. BCD does not have essential effect on the microhardness and wear characteristics of Fe-W and Co-W coatings. But the scratch tests reveal the presence of such influence. These tests showed superior wear resistance for the coatings obtained at low BCD. It was found that BCD has influence on wear resistance of Ni-W coatings under dry friction conditions. The BCD also has an influence on the coefficient of friction of Fe-W and Ni-W coatings at dry friction conditions. However, such an effect is opposite to that, observed at the scratch test.

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.

The aim of this study was the investigation of the fretting wear of industrial and newly developed multi-layered coatings. The tribological behaviour of flat DLC coated specimens was investigated in fretting mode I and fretting mode II against different ball counterbodies namely, corundum, 100Cr6, and DLC coated 100Cr6 using a broad range of strokes, frequencies, and loads. From Fretting I a dependency of the wear behaviour with the type of DLC coating, and an influence of the normal load with the coefficient of friction was observed. Using Fretting mode II, an attempt was made to study the fatigue and toughness properties of the coatings.

Relationships between tribological properties of Ti-6Al-4V and the machining behaviour of the same alloy drilled by a WC-Co cutting tool using minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) were studied. The tribological behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V sliding against WC-Co was evaluated by determining the changes in the coefficient of friction (COF) using cutting fluids employed in MQL and flooded drilling tests. When pin-on-disk tests were carried out under the boundary lubricated condition, the MQL fluid (MQLF) provided a low COF of 0.16 at 25 ℃ and 0.24 at 250 ℃. The observed low COFs were attributed to formation of a tribolayer on the WC-Co counterfaces. A high COF of 0.45 observed at 300 ℃ indicated that the tribolayer was no longer stable. Application of conventional water-based cutting fluid (CF) also resulted in a low COF of 0.26 at 25 ℃ but the COF rose to 0.32 at 100 ℃. During drilling tests, MQLF was supplied at a rate of 80 ml/h using an external MQL system. The average drilling torque was reduced by 35% compared to CF as a result of the formation of tribolayer on the cutting edge of the tool as well as on the drilled hole surfaces, as the cutting temperature remained <250 ℃. According to Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the tribolayer on the drilled hole surface was formed as a result of degradation of additives in the MQL. The presence of phosphate- and sulfate-based anti-wear components in the tribolayer proved to be beneficial in preventing metal-metal contacts during drilling and provided a low COF. The low COF between tool-workpiece contact resulted in a low and uniform torque response throughout the drilling cycles and prevention of built-up edge (BUE) formation, leading to an improved surface finish.
