Increase Wear Resistance

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to increase wear resistance of aluminum. Design/methodology/approach The authors have studied the ways to improve the tribological performance of aluminum by assembling stearic acid on aluminum coated by sol-gel-derived TiO2 film. The samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurements and a macro friction and wear tester. Findings Enhanced wear resistance was clearly obtained after functionalization of TiO2 film on aluminum by stearic acid. Originality/value The relevant results might be helpful for guiding the surface modification of aluminum devices in industrial applications.

Salient Features

Abstract The salient features of both non-elemental sulfur vulcanization by TMTD and elemental sulfur vulcanization promoted by TMTD both in presence and absence of ZnO and stearic acid have been studied. TMTD increases the rate of DCP decomposition and lowers the crosslinking maxima due to DCP depending on its concentration. However, with higher amounts of TMTD the initial rate of crosslinking is increased with the increased amount of TMTD, while crosslinking maxima are still lowered due to reversion. ZnO or ZnO-stearic acid, however, seems to alter the entire course of the reaction. Both the crosslink formation and TMTD decomposition are much higher in presence of ZnO or ZnO-stearic acid, but stearic acid seems to have no effect. The reaction mechanisms for TMTD accelerated sulfuration in absence and presence of ZnO have also been studied.
