This chapter illustrates the effect of the addition of solid lubricants on the high temperature friction and wear behavior of Ni-based composites. Ni-based composites containing solid lubricant particles both in nano and micrometer range have been fabricated through powder metallurgy route. In order to explore the possible synergetic action of a combination of low and high temperature solid lubricant, nano or micro powders of two or more solid lubricants were added in the composites. This chapter introduces the fabrication of the Ni-based self-lubricating composites containing graphite and/or MoS2, Ag and/or rare earth, Ag and/or hBN as solid lubricants and their friction and wear behavior at room and elevated temperatures. The chapter also includes information on some lubricating composite coatings such as electro-deposited nickel-base coating containing graphite, MoS2, or BN and graphene and their tribological characteristics.

AbstractThe tungsten and vanadium oxides are well known to be usable as solid lubricants at elevated temperatures. Such metal-oxides are interesting for tribological insets at atmospheric conditions because of their “oxidation stability”. This paper reports about investigations made to find stable process windows for the deposition of tungsten and vanadium oxides in a reactive d.c. mode by the MSIP-PVD-process. One focus of the study is on the metal oxide-phases generated in the MSIP-process under various conditions and their mechanical and metallographic properties. Coatings were deposited, developed and analyzed by standard testing methods such as SEM, microhardness (nanoindentation), XRD and scratch testing to characterize the mechanical and structural properties. Stable process windows will be presented for the reactive mode as well as the influence of different process parameters to the microstructure and the material properties. It will be shown that it is possible to deposit vanadium-oxides despite contamination effects in wide ranges by adapting the gas-flow. Process failure was determined at 15 - 18 % oxygen partial pressure for reactively deposited tungsten oxides.

Abstract In this work, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)- and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2)-embedded metallic composites were fabricated via liquid-phase sintering. The mechanical property and tribological performance of different samples that contain 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 wt% solid lubricants were evaluated. Morphologies, such as micropores and ball and scratch, were characterized after the rotating sliding tests. A high lubricant concentration could adversely affect the flexural strength of as-sintered samples because of the formation and coalescences of micropores. In comparison with MoS2-containing samples under the same lubricant concentrations, the hBN-containing samples exhibited lower flexural strength and density caused by amounts of spherical small and irregular large micropores. Furthermore, the best tribological combination could be achieved in terms of the friction coefficient, wear-rate, and morphologies of balls by applying 7.5 wt% MoS2 particles in the metallic matrix.

Machining-induced surface topography has a significant effect on tribological performance of machined components in sliding contact. However, the effect of different surface topography by turning versus grinding on tribological performance has received very little attention. In this study four types of surface topography by turning and grinding AISI 52100 bearing steel (62 HRc) were prepared and characterized to study its effect on friction and wear in sliding contact. Dry and lubricated reciprocating sliding wear tests with an on-line acoustic emission (AE) sensor were carried out using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The experimental results have shown that: (i) the turned surfaces, regardless of the presence of a white layer, yield smaller friction of coefficients in sliding along feed marks than across sliding at both dry and lubricated conditions. However, the opposite hold true for the ground surfaces; (ii) friction of coefficients (0.6∼0.8) at dry conditions is higher for both turned and ground fresh surfaces than their white layer counterparts regardless of sliding direction. At lubricated conditions, Friction of coefficients (0.1∼0.12) are smaller for the both turned and ground fresh surfaces than the white layer surfaces in along sliding, while it is equivalent in across sliding; (iii) the trends of acoustic amplitude amplitude are consistent with those of frictional coefficients for the turned or ground surfaces at dry conditions. Similar trends are also true for the turned surfaces at lubricated conditions, but not for the ground surfaces; and (iv) the wear debris on the track may act as solid lubricants to reduce the sliding frictional coefficient. Machining induced white layers leads to a better wear resistance than the fresh surfaces in either along or across sliding.
