Purpose This paper aims to improve the friction reduction and wear resistance of Fe90 alloy coating by the addition of Al2O3. Design/methodology/approach Fe90 alloy coatings with the different Al2O3 mass fractions were prepared on Q235 steel by laser cladding (LC). The morphologies, phases and hardness of Fe90 alloy coating were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microhardness tester, respectively. The effects of Al2O3 mass fraction on the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rates of Fe90 alloy coating were investigated using a friction tester, and the wear model was built to discuss the wear mechanism of Al2O3-reinforced Fe90 alloy coating. Findings The results show that the large number of Fe carbides is generated on the Fe90–Al2O3 coatings by the effect of laser high energy, and the hardness of Fe90–coating is 806 HV0.5, which is 4.48 times of substrate. The average COFs of Fe90–Al2O3 alloy coatings decrease from 0.73 to 0.55, and the wear rates are also reduced from 447.78 to 274.63 µm3•s–1•N–1 by the addition of Al2O3. The Fe90–6% Al2O3 coating presents the highest wear resistance among the three kinds of coatings, and the wear mechanism is abrasive wear and micro-cutting wear. Originality/value The Al2O3-reinforced Fe90 alloy coating was first fabricated by laser cladding, and the effect of Al2O3 on the friction-wear performance of Fe90 alloy coating was investigated.

Tribological properties as well as antiwear and friction reduction mechanism of wear self repair nano-ceramic and nano-Cu lubricating additives are researched using ring-block abrasion testing machine and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer. Research results show great difference between friction reduction performances of the above two additives, because their friction reduction mechanism are different, the former is ball bearing effect and the latter is soft film shear effect. In terms of wear-resistance, as for 45 steel, under heavy load, the self repair rate to the worn surface with the nano additives is less than the wearing rate of the friction pair. An effective way to solve the problem is electroless deposited Ni-W-P alloy coating on the surface of the 45 steel. The Ni-W-P alloy coating has high hardness, high wear resistance, and has excellent compatibility with nano lubricating additive, the wear resistance of Ni-W-P alloy coating (with heat treatment and the oil with nano additives) has increases hundreds times than 45 steel as the metal substrate with basic oil, zero wear is achieved, which break through the bottleneck of previous separate research of the above-mentioned the two.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tribological effects of laser surface texturing (LST) and residual stress on functional surfaces. Design/methodology/approach Three different surface textures (circular dimple, elliptical dimple and groove) with two different textured area ratios (10 and 20 per cent) are designed and fabricated by a Picosecond Nd YAG Laser machine. The friction and wear performance of textured specimens is tested using a UMT-2 friction and wear testing machine in mixed lubrication. Findings Test results show that elliptical dimples exhibit the best performance in wear resistance, circular dimples in friction reduction and grooves in stabilization of friction. The surfaces with larger textured area density exhibit better performance in both friction reduction and wear resistance. The improved performance of LST is the coupled effect of surface texture and residual stress. Originality/value The findings of this study may provide guidance for optimal design of functional surface textures in reciprocating sliding contacts under mixed or hydrodynamic lubrication, which can be used in automotive and other industrial applications.

Coatings with high entropy alloys of the AlCoCrFeNiV system were obtained by selective laser melting on low carbon steel substrates. The effect of the variation of the Fe and V contents as well as the laser processing parameters in the development of the coating were evaluated. The coatings were obtained from the simple powder mixtures of the high purity elemental components in a planetary ball mill. The coatings were obtained by using CO2 laser with a power of 100 W, diameter of 0.16 mm, and scan speed varying from 3 to 12 mm/s. Phase constituents, microstructure and hardness were investigated by XRD, SEM, and microhardness tester, respectively. Wear resistance measurements were carried out by the micro-abrasion method using ball-cratering tests. The coatings presented good adhesion to the substrate and high hardness, of the order of 480 to 650 HV. Most homogeneous coating with nominal composition was obtained by using the higher scan speed, 12 mm/s. Vanadium addition increased hardness and gave rise to a high entropy alloy coating composed by BCC solid solutions. Ball cratering tests conducted on HEA layer showing improvement of material wear resistance, when compared to base substrate, decreasing up to 88% its wear rate, from 1.91x10-6 mm3/Nmm to 0.23x10-6 mm3/Nmm.

In order to improve the friction and wear properties of Cu10Al–MoS2 coating, the addition of CeO2 is one of the present research hot spots. In this work, Cu10Al–MoS2 coatings with different CeO2 mass fractions were successfully fabricated on Q235 steel using a laser cladding. The microstructure and phase compositions of obtained coatings were analyzed using an ultra-depth of field microscope and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The friction-wear test was carried out under oil lubrication using a ball-on-disk wear tester, and the effects of CeO2 mass fraction on the microstructure, hardness, and friction-wear properties were studied, and the wear mechanism was also discussed. The results show that the laser cladded Cu10Al–MoS2 coatings with the different CeO2 mass fractions were mainly composed of Cu9Al4, Cu, AlFe3, Ni, MoS2, and CeO2 phases. The Vickers-hardness (HV) of Cu10Al–8MoS2–3CeO2, Cu10Al–8MoS2–6CeO2, and Cu10Al–8MoS2–9CeO2 coatings was 418, 445, and 457 HV0.3, respectively, which indicates an increase in hardness with the increase of CeO2 mass fraction. The average coefficients of friction (COF) and wear rates decrease with the increase of CeO2 mass fraction, presenting the outstanding friction reduction and wear resistance performances. The wear mechanism of Cu10Al–MoS2 coatings is changed from abrasive wear with slight fatigue wear to abrasive wear with the increase of CeO2 mass fraction.

This study presents the effect of heat treatment on porosity, phase composition, microhardness, and wear and corrosion resistances of the thermal sprayed NiCr20 coating after sealing with aluminum phosphate. The annealing temperatures were varied in a range of 400 to 1000°C. The obtained results indicated the porosity of coating decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. After treatment at temperatures in range of 800-1000°C, more than 90% of initial pores in the coating were successfully filled with the sealants. The XRD data revealed not only the formation of new phases of other compounds, but also the interaction between coating and sealant. After heat treatment, wear resistance of coating was 12 times higher than that without heat treatment. The corrosion test in H2SO4 solution indicated that the presence of sealant in coatings increased their corrosion resistance. From these findings, application of these NiCr20 coatings to protect steel against wear and corrosion appears very promising.

The wear properties of ADZ (alumina dispersed in Y-TZP) and MDZ (mullite dispersed in Y-TZP) were investigated by using a ring-on-block tribometer. The results showed that for Y-TZP ceramic, the addition of alumina phase (with 10-20% in mass fraction) leads to an improved wear resistance. With the increase of the normal load, the wear rates of ADZ ceramics increase. Under low and medium normal load (100N and 300N), the wear resistance is controlled by the hardness of ceramics, and under high normal load (500N) the fracture toughness is obviously contributed to the wear resistance of the ceramics. For MDZ ceramic, the wear resistance of 15MDZ (15wt% mullite dispersed in Y-TZP) is better than that of 20 MDZ (20wt% mullite) under the normal load from 100 N to 500 N. The mechanical properties of 15MDZ are worse than that of Y-TZP ceramic, but the wear resistance is enhanced due to the action of “needle roller bearing” of the fractured rod-like mullite particles.
