A serials of experiments were carried on the pin-on-disc friction and wear tester. The friction and wear behaviors of on four materials couple with electric current were studied on in different conditions. The result indicates that properties of materials couple have a significant influence on the test results. The friction coefficient is the highest in process of the copper-impregnated metallized carbon rubbing against pure copper couple, and its wear volume of carbon strip material is also the largest. However, the friction and wear volume of copper-impregnated metallized carbon/stainless steel and pure carbon/pure copper couples are lower. Therefore, both friction couples are appropriate for pantograph strip/contact wire couple.

Increasing, demand for more efficient power generation forces turbomachinery to operate at higher temperatures and compression ratios. High speeds combined with high temperatures make turbomachinery sealing applications even more challenging. In order to confirm sufficient service life, seal material pairs should be tested similar to engine operating conditions. The high temperature friction and wear characteristics of cobalt superalloys, Haynes 25, 188 and 214 sheets, rubbed against Hastelloy X pins are presented in this work. Tests are conducted at 25, 200 and 400°C with a validated custom design linear reciprocating tribometer. Sliding speed and distance are 1Hz and 1.2 Km respectively. Friction coefficients are calculated with friction force data acquired from load cell and the dead weight where wear coefficient is calculated through mass loss after the tests.

A series of experiments on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire is performed on high-speed friction and wear tester with electric current. The results show that the friction coefficient is generally maintained between 0.24 and 0.37. In the absence of electric current, the coefficient of friction is higher than that in the presence of electric current. The wear rate of carbon strip materials is generally not more than 0.014g/km. In particular, the wear rate under the electric current of 240 A is 14 times more than that in the absence of electric current. By observing the scar of worn surface with optical microscope, it can be found that there are obvious slip scars and arc erosive pits. The dominated wear mechanisms are abrasive wear and arc erosion in electrical sliding frictional process.

In this paper, the process of Cu-Ag contact wire with adding rare-earth elements was presented. The additive process of the rare-earth elements and the function of the rare earth were chiefly analyzed. Adding the rare-earth elements into melt alloy, the oxide and sulfur can be removed from the liquid, so we can get the purified alloy. At the same time, adding rare-earth can reduce the external crack flaws which produced during the casting and makes the grain refined, as the result, the properties of the Cu-Ag alloy contact wire can be greatly improved and meliorated. Such as the conductivity, the specific elongation, tensile strength and so on, are improved.

Experimental investigations of the friction and wear of four copper alloys and pure nickel are presented. Measurements of the shape and dimensions of the wear tracks and of the extent of subsurface layers are also reported. The results are discussed in terms of mechanical behavior and possible correlations with conventional mechanical properties are considered. The role of cyclic plastic deformation is emphasized and areas of interest for future research are suggested.
