Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to assess the influence of the volume fraction solid lubricants like talc lead and graphite in oil separately and in combination towards controlling the sliding wear behaviour of a grey cast iron and understand the factors controlling the response of the material in a given set of experimental conditions. Design/methodology/approach – The composition of the lubricating medium (oil) has been changed by dispersing 5 per cent graphite, talc and lead particles separately and in combination. Sliding wear tests were conducted on grey cast iron samples over a range of applied pressures. Parameters determined were wear rate and frictional heating. The wear behaviour of the samples was further substantiated through the features of wear surfaces, subsurface regions and debris particles. Material removal mechanisms and factors responsible for a specific response of the samples have also been analysed. Findings – The wear rate increased with increasing applied pressure. Addition of graphite and lead to the oil separately or in combination brought about a reduction in the wear rate of the samples; talc and talc + lead produced a reverse trend. Temperature near the specimen surface increased with test duration and applied pressure. The test environment influenced the frictional heating in a manner similar to that of the wear rate. Adhesion and abrasion were observed to be the operating material removal mechanisms. Smearing of the solid lubricating phase and delamination resulting from cracking tendency also controlled the wear response. Research limitations/implications – Oil is a very popular lubricant used in engineering applications involving friction and wear. Solid lubricants are used along with the oil. The nature, characteristics and content of the solid lubricants very much control the performance. Limited information is available pertaining to assessing the influence of the type and fraction of solid lubricants in the oil towards controlling the wear behaviour of cast irons (popularly known tribomaterials). The present study enables to understand the effectiveness of talc, lead and graphite in oil towards governing the wear characteristics of cast iron and analyse wear mechanisms and controlling parameters. Practical implications – Graphite and talc are available in nature in abundance. Graphite is a popularly known solid lubricant, while talc is less explored. Lead is also well-known as a solid lubricant but poses health hazard in practice due to its toxic nature. The present study explores the lubricating capability of talc when mixed with oil separately or in combination with lead and graphite towards controlling the wear response of a grey cast iron. It enables to understand the factors responsible for the specific response of talc. Social implications – Assessment of the lubricating potential of talc as a possible substitute to lead is important in view of the toxic nature of the latter. If successful, the exercise could enable to replace lead with talc. Originality/value – The present manuscript is an original piece of the author's research work.

Among several nanocoatings, Ti and B4C hard coating shows excellent wear performance in cutting tool operation. This hard nanocoating Implemented on GCI substrate using EB-PVD coating is to make them suitable for engine components and to act as a protective coating against surface wear and reduce the wear of the components. The wear test was conducted using Pin-on-disc equipment at the room temperature and surface roughness was measured using surface roughness tester.The wear parameters such as sliding speed and sliding distance were kept constant and the load is varied. Coating hardness was measured using Brinell hardness tester.The investigation shows that Ti, B4C coatings have significant effect on GCI sleeve. Also, the result shows that the coating of Ti, B4C improved the wear resistance of the grey cast iron.

This article presents an experimental study to investigate wear resistance of grey cast iron samples with different additions of copper from 0.00 to 3.15 wt%. A pin-on-disc apparatus was designed and built to conduct the experimental trials and assess the influence of wear time, rotational speed and normal load on wear behaviour. Experiments on wear time were from 5 to 20 min, rotational speed from 90 to 1400 r/min and applied pressure from 2.0 to 8.0 MPa, all in dry conditions. Results showed that morphology and microstructure are important parameters in relation to the wear regime exhibited by the material. It is confirmed that wear losses increased with increase in wear time, rotational speed and applied pressure. Also, it is clearly seen that adding copper to the cast iron changed the ferrite matrix into a pearlite matrix. This led to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties, especially wear resistance, with slight increase in the hardness. Generally, wear losses were quantified for cast iron with added copper; an increase in copper from 0.00 to 3.15 wt% reduced the material loss by about 30%.
