The aim of the present research was focused on the study of the effect of replacing vanadium by niobium and iron on the tribological behavior of Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIPed) titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) biomaterial, using a ball-on-disk type Oscillating tribometer, under wet conditions using physiological solution conditions (Ringer solution) in accordance with the ASTMG 99, ISO 7148-1:2012, and ASTM G 133–95 standards. The tests were carried out under a normal load of 6 N, with an AISI 52100 grade steel ball as a counter face. The morphological changes and structural evolution of the nanoparticle powders using different milling times (2, 6, 12 and 18 h) were studied. The morphological characterization indicated that the particle and crystallite size continuously decreases with increasing milling time to reach the lowest value of 4 nm at 18 hours milling. The friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the samples milled at 18 h (0.226, 0.297 and 0.423) and (0.66 x10-2, 0.87x10-2 and 1.51x10-2 µm3.N-1.µm-1) for Ti-6Al-4Fe, Ti-6Al-4Nb and Ti-6Al-4V, respectively. This improvement in friction and wear resistance is attributed to the grain refinement at 18 hour milling. The Ti-6Al-4Fe samples showed good tribological performance for all milling times

Al6061-TiC in-situ composite was developed using hexafluorotitanate salt and graphite powder. Microstructure studies, hardness and dry sliding friction and wear behavior were investigated for both base alloy and in-situ composite. Friction and wear tests were performed at the normal load and sliding speeds in the range 20-100N and 0.314-1.57m/s respectively. For a given TiC content, coefficient of friction was lower than base alloy for all the loads and sliding speeds. A tremendous improvement in the wear resistance of the composite was found when compared with base alloy.

The present work aims at the study of the dry disc pion contact and the complex phenomenon of the wear as well as the sliding friction of our sample elaborated by a hot isotactic compression and the pion. This study consists in determining the coefficient of friction and the influence of the tribological parameters on this phenomenon as well as determining the loss of mass and the wear rate of study sample. In order to enhance the assurance of the validity of the results of tribological study of Ni-Cr-B-Si-C-W alloy in laboratories and compare that to the tribological conditions in reality and industries. This work presents the results of the new approach to compares the wear behavior of the sample between a theoretical study (tribometer)and another in service (a test bench) that reproduces approximately the same conditions as the tribometer (normal load, sliding speed and distance traveled) by measuring the loss of mass and wear rate.

The effect of various operational factors, such as sliding speed, normal load and temperature on the tribological properties of Date palm fruit syrup (DPFS) as an environmentally friendly lubricant, is investigated. Ball-on-disc wear tests are conducted on mild steel samples in the presence of DPFS as a lubricant under different conditions and the coefficient of friction and wear rate are measured. Scanning electron microscopy, stylus profilometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to evaluate the wear tracks to determine the underlying wear mechanisms. Results showed that DPFS has excellent tribological properties in terms of low friction and low wear rates making it a potential candidate to be used as a lubricant in tribological applications.
