Friction And Wear Properties

The role of surface roughness on the coefficient of friction and wear of polished CVD diamond films has been investigated. Diamond films grown on single crystal silicon (001) substrates by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD) process were polished by a chemomechanical process in which a diamond film was polished against another diamond film in the presence of a fused alkaline oxidizer at 320°C. Friction and wear properties of these polished films were measured at elevated temperatures and in the presence of various gaseous environments. The coefficient of friction of the polished diamond films was found to be about 0.09, which is very close to that of natural diamond (0.07). The wear rate of the mating alumina ball slid against a polished diamond film was also found to be comparable, when slid natural diamond.

Friction And Wear Properties

The tribological performance of pure polyamide 66 (PA66) and Carbon fibre (CF) reinforced PA66 composite were studied at dry sliding and oil lubricated conditions. The results show that the coefficient of friction and specific wear rates for pure PA66 and CF/PA66 composite slightly in increase with the increase in applied pressure values. On the other hand the coefficient of friction is in decrease while the specific wear is in increase with the increase in sliding speed values.

Adhesion Friction

The adhesion of diamond films deposited by microwave plasma-enhanced CVD on various substrates can be quantitatively determined by an indentation method. The friction behaviors of diamond-coated cemented carbides sliding against a brass ring were studied. The wear resistance of the diamond-coated cemented carbide inserts and the commercial inserts with the other ceramic coatings were compared and directly evaluated by turning tests. Effects of the coating conditions, the substrate materials, and the surface pretreatments of the substrate on adhesion, friction, and wear properties are discussed.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Silicon is an attractive material for the construction of read/write head sliders in magnetic recording applications from the viewpoints of ease of miniaturization and low fabrication cost. In the present investigation we have studied the friction and wear behavior of single-crystal, polycrystalline, ion-implanted, thermally oxidized (wet and dry), and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) oxide-coated silicon pins while sliding against lubricated and unlubricated thin-film disks. For comparison, tests have also been conducted with Al2O3–TiC and Mn–Zn ferrite pins which are currently used as slider materials. With single-crystal silicon the rise in the coefficient of friction with sliding cycles is faster compared to Al2O3–TiC and Mn–Zn ferrite pins. In each case, the rise in friction is associated with the burnishing of the disk surface and transfer of amorphous carbon and lubricant (in the case of lubricated disks) from the disk to the pin. Thermally oxidized (under dry oxygen conditions) single-crystal silicon and PECVD oxide-coated single-crystal silicon exhibit excellent tribological characteristics while sliding against lubricated disks, and we believe this is attributable to the chemical passivity of the oxide coating. In dry nitrogen, the coefficient of friction for single-crystal silicon sliding against lubricated disks behaves differently than in air, decreasing from an initial value of 0.2 to less than 0.05 within 5000 cycles of sliding. We believe that silicon/thin-film disk interface friction and wear is governed by the uniformity and tenacity of the amorphous carbon transfer film and oxygen-enhanced fracture of silicon.

Ti (C,N)/ZrO2/WC nanocomposite cermet die materials were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing process, the materials have better comprehensive mechanical properties. The friction and wear properties of Ti (C,N)-based nanocomposite cermet die materials were studied, and the worn surfaces microstructure were observed and analysed by SEM and XRD. The experimental results showed that when the rotate speed was higher, the coefficient of friction of the developed cermet die material, which is 0.3-0.4, was lower than that without the addition of nanoZrO2 and micrometer WC. The main wear mechanisms were abrasive wear, oxidation wear and adhesive wear.

Friction And Wear Properties

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.

MoSi2 was prepared by SHS, and then pressed under 300 MPa at room temperature and sintered at 1600 °C for 1 h in a vacuum furnace. The tribological properties of MoSi2 against Al2O3 in the temperature range from 700°C to 1100 °C were investigated. Microphotographs and phases of the worn surface of MoSi2 were observed by SEM and XRD. Results showed that MoSi2 has well friction and wear properties below 900 °C. When temperature rises from 900 °C to 1000 °C, wear rate of MoSi2 is raised by 20.8% which is attribute to the change of wear mechanism. The main wear mechanisms of MoSi2 are adhesion and oxidation at high temperatures. When over 900 °C, because of ductile - brittle transition characteristic of this material, plastic deformation and fracture are also found on the worn surface of MoSi2. This leads to the high wear rate of MoSi2.

Adhesion Friction

Sliding friction experiments were conducted with various iron-base alloys (alloying elements were Ti, Cr, Mn, Ni, Rh, and W) in contact with a single-crystal silicon carbide (0001) surface in vacuum. Results indicate atomic size misfit and concentration of alloying elements play a dominant role in controlling adhesion, friction, and wear properties of iron-base binary alloys. The controlling mechanism of the alloy properties is as an intrinsic effect involving the resistance to shear fracture of cohesive bonding in the alloy. The coefficient of friction generally increases with an increase in solute concentration. The coefficient of friction increases as the solute-to-iron atomic radius ratio increases or decreases from unity. Alloys having higher solute concentration produce more transfer to silicon carbide than do alloys having low solute concentrations. The chemical activity of the alloying element is also an important parameter in controlling adhesion and friction of alloys.
