Rollers of three different material structures were examined: rollers consisting of pure EP resin; homogeneous EP/SiC composite rollers containing 5 vol.% SiC; and EP/SiC composite rollers with functionally gradient (FG) material structure. Wear tests were performed on the rollers. The wear tests showed that rollers of gradient structure are the most wear-resistant of all. Microhardness measurements were performed on the materials of the three different rollers. SEM images were made of the surface of wear traces. In order to get to know better the effect of SiC reinforcement particles on the wear mechanism, microhardness measurements were simulated by 3D FE micro-models. The SEM images and the FE models were used to explain the excellent wear behavior of the tread of rollers with gradient material distribution.

AbstractFor the application of immersed combustion-radiant tubes in glass melters, a Mo-MoSi2 functionally gradient composite was developed. A gradient profile mixture with varying amounts of powders of these two compounds was hot pressed at 1650°C and 17.4 MPa. Mo5Si3, and Mo3Si reaction products were detected by XRD in the hot pressed composite. Limited cracking was apparent in regions where pure Mo regions applied tensile stresses to regions rich in Mo3Si product. Cyclic heat treatments in a reducing atmosphere showed no signs of further CTE mismatch induced cracking, but did indicate a propensity to creep under load at ∼ 1400°C. A functionally gradient material with MoSi2 on all exterior surfaces showed excellent oxidation protection to the Mo center.
