Tribological behavior of Mg-WC nano-composites at elevated temperature

The composites of Ni-W-Cr-Fe-Cu-MoS2-Graphite with nano-MoS2 were prepared by powder metallurgy. Its tribological properties were investigated using the UTM-2 Nano+Micro Tribometer from room temperature to 600°C. The effects of amount of MoS2 and Ni-W-Cr prealloy powder, load, and temperature on the tribological properties were investigated and discussed. The results indicated that the addition of 43~45wt.% Ni-W-Cr prealloy powder had a strengthening effect on the hardness, anti-press and tensile strength. The tensile strength of the composite decreases with the addition of Nano-MoS2 and graphite, and the friction coefficient decrease with increase of the additives over the wide temperature range of 25°C∼600°C. The friction coefficients and wear rates of the composites reach the optimization value at 2.5wt.% MoS2,While its wear rates increase with the increasing temperature and load.

The tribological performance of Si3N4ball sliding against Ti3SiC2disc lubricated by lithium-based ionic liquids (ILs) was investigated using an Optimol SRV-IV oscillating reciprocating friction and wear tester at room temperature (RT) and elevated temperature (100°C). Glycerol and the conventional imidazolium-based IL 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (L-F106) were used as references under the same experimental conditions. The results show that the lithium-based ILs had higher thermal stabilities than glycerol and lower costs associated with IL preparation than L-F106. The tribotest results show that the lithium-based ILs were effective in reducing the friction and wear of Si3N4/Ti3SiC2contacts. [Li(urea)]TFSI even produced better tribological properties than glycerol and L-F106 both at RT and 100°C. The SEM/EDS and XPS results reveal that the excellent tribological endurance of Si3N4/Ti3SiC2contacts lubricated by lithium-based ILs was mainly attributed to the formation of surface protective films composed of various tribochemical products.

State Processing

Mg-Mg2Si in-situ composites by the addition of Si in Mg have become more attractive since the Mg2Si phase impedes the grain boundary sliding at elevated temperature because of its inherent properties which greatly improve the heat and wear resistances. In the present work, Mg-Mg2Si composites have been prepared by the liquid state processing with different amount of silicon additions. The microstructure and dry sliding tribological behavior of the composites have been studied. SEM studies reveal the wear mechanisms involved in these composites. The results indicate that wear rate of the composites is a function of Mg2Si content in the composite. The effect of Mg2Si morphology and distribution on the overall mechanism is also discussed.

The tribological behaviors of Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, prepared by the radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) method, were studied in the room temperature and the elevated temperature. The ball-on-disk tests with DLC films on steel specimens were conducted at a sliding speed of 60 rpm, a load of 10 N, and surrounding temperatures of 25°C and 75°C. The results show that the coefficients of friction and the amounts of wear of DLC films were decreased at higher temperature. After tests the wear tracks of hydrogenated DLC film were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy.
