Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-temperature aluminizing process on the microstructure and dry sliding wear properties of Mirrax steel. Low-temperature aluminizing process was applied on Mirrax steel at 600, 650, and 700 °C for 2, 4, and 6 h. The packs for the process were prepared using pure aluminum powder as aluminum deposition source. Ammonium chloride NH4Cl and Seydisehir Al2O3 powder were used as the activator and the inert filler, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were applied for characterization of the coating surfaces. The through-thickness variation in the layer microstructure was determined and it was found to vary between 1 µm and 45 µm which increased with higher process temperature and time. After the deposition process, the coating layer hardness increased to 1000 HVN, whereas the hardness of the matrix was 250 HVN. The wear tests were performed using a ball-on-disc tribometer under 5 N load at room temperature and 500 °C on aluminized and untreated Mirrax steel. In both room temperature and high-temperature wear tests, it was determined that the aluminizing process increased the wear resistance of Mirrax steel. Increasing aluminizing time and temperature also increased the wear resistance. The uncoated and thin-coated samples generally exhibited wear in the form of plastic deformation and adhesion related ruptures. A high degree of tribological layer was observed on the wear trace on samples with high coating thickness, especially in high-temperature tests. Therefore, the volume losses in these samples were induced by fatigue crack formation and delamination.

The sliding wear of four different compositions of novel low temperature degradation-free zirconia/alumina (LTD-free Z/A) composites were characterized in a ceramicceramic point contact pair. The wear tests were performed by a pin-on-disk type wear tester in a linear reciprocal sliding motion with a point contact in both dry and bovine serum lubricated conditions at room temperature. For the dry sliding wear tests, AZ-2 (20 vol% (Y,Nb,Ce)-TZP/ 80 vol% Al2O3) showed the best wear resistance among four kinds of LTD-free Z/A composites. For the bovine serum lubricated sliding wear tests, wear was too little to be measured for all kinds of Z/A composites. These novel LTD-free Z/A composites having excellent wear resistance demonstrated a potential as the alternative materials for the ceramic- ceramic contact pairs of femoral head and acetabular liner in total hip replacement.

Cr3C2-Ni cermet is a kind of promising material especially for wear applications due to its excellent wear resistance. However, researches were mainly concentrated on the experiment condition of room temperature, besides high-temperature wear mechanism of the cermet would be utilized much potential applications and also lack of consideration. In present paper, the influence of Mo content on the high-temperature wear behavior of in-situ Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet was investigated systematically. The friction-wear experiment was carried out range from room temperature to 800 °C, while Al2O3 ceramic was set as the counterpart. According to experimental results, it is indicated that the coefficient of friction (COF) of friction pairs risen at the beginning of friction stage and then declined to constant, while the wear rate of Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet risen continuously along with temperature increased, which attributes to the converted wear mechanism generally from typical abrasive wear to severe oxidation and adhesive wear. Generally, the result of wear resistance was enhanced for 13.4% (at 400 °C) and 31.5% (at 800 °C) by adding 1 wt. % Mo. The in-situ newly formed (Cr, Mo)7C3 ceramic particle and the lubrication phase of MoO3 can effectively improve the wear resistance of Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the high-temperature wear behavior of the TiN- and AlTiN/TiSiN-coated WC materials. Design/methodology/approach The coating process was carried out using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Wear tests were performed by a ball-on-disc wear device with a high-temperature wear module. In microstructural investigation of the materials, it was benefited from traditional characterization methods such as, SEM, EDX analysis and microhardness measurement. Findings The best wear performance was obtained with AlTiN/TiSiN-coated WC materials at all loads and temperatures, followed by TiN-coated and uncoated WC samples. An important wear was not observed on the samples tested at room temperature tests. It was found that the temperature increase is an effective parameter on the decrease of the wear resistance of the samples. In addition, it was seen that the increasing load and temperature change the wear mechanism on the uncoated WC sample. The wear mechanisms observed at high temperatures were delamination and oxidation for the WC, fatigue for AlTiN/TiSiN-coated WC and micro-scratch and micro-spalling for TiN-coated WC. Originality/value The results of the experimental studies demonstrated that hard coatings improving wear resistance of WC.

The sliding wear behaviors of three different compositions of novel low temperature degradation-free zirconia/alumina (LTD-free Z/A) composites were examined in a ceramicceramic contact pair. The wear tests were performed by using a pin-on-disk type wear tester in a linear reciprocal sliding motion with a line contact in both dry and bovine serum lubricated conditions at room temperature. From the results of dry sliding wear tests, Z/A#1 ((5.3Y,4.6Nb)-TZP/80 vol% Al2O3) showed the best wear resistance among three kinds of LTD-free Z/A composites. For the bovine serum lubricated sliding wear tests, wear was too little to be measured for all kinds of Z/A composites. These novel LTD-free Z/A composites having excellent wear resistance demonstrated a potential as the alternative materials for the ceramicceramic contact pairs of femoral head and acetabular liner in total hip replacement.

This study explored the friction and wear behavior of a Ni-based exhaust valve at high temperatures. Nickel-based superalloy was used with two types of processing states: the original forged sample and the sample under the standard T1 heat treatment. At room temperature and a loading force of 10[Formula: see text]N, the average friction coefficient of the T1 heat-treated specimen is 0.61, which was lower than that of the forged sample (0.78). The wear rate of this specimen was also lower than that of the forged sample at the same temperature and loading force. Thus, T1 heat treatment can significantly improve the wear resistance of the alloy because of [Formula: see text] phase and carbides. The wear rate was the minimum at 550∘C and increased again at 750∘C dominated by the formation and flake-off of the oxide film.

Ni-based TiN-TiC composite coating was fabricated on DZ125 superalloy surface by laser cladding. The phase constitution and microstructures were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Microhardness measurements and wear experiments without lubrication were also accomplished. The experimental results showed that a pore- and crack-free coating with metallurgical bonding to the substrate was obtained. Solidification morphologies along the section of the coating varied from directional dendrite in the interface to random dendrite in the surface. The coating was mainly composed of γ-Ni, M23C6, TiN, TiC particles and a small amount of NiTi, respectively. The average microhardness of 705HK for the coating was 2.3 times higher than that of the substrate. Wear tests indicated that wear resistance of the coating was significantly improved compared with that of the substrate. The improvement in hardness and wear resistance was attributed to TiN and TiC phase and chromium carbide uniformly dispersed in the matrix of the Ni-based TiN-TiC composite coating.

ABSTRACTMechanically polished Ti6Al4V samples were implanted with 100 key nitrogen ions to a fluence of 5.1017 ions/cm2 at two different bulk tenneratures: 370°C and 470°C. Wear tests were carried out with a reciprocating slidina tribotester. Structural modifications and wear morphologies were studied by TEM and SEM. 370°C implanted sample showed the same wear behavior as unimplanted ones, while 470°C implanted sample showed better wear resistance because of a TiN hardened layer. Correlations- between microstructural modifications, wear behavior and mechanisms are reported: results agree with the delamination theory. Comparison with ion- and gas-nitrided samples are presented.

Wear-resistant Cu-based solid-solution-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy with a microstructure consisting of predominantly the dual-phase primary dendrites with a Cr5Si3 core encapsulated by CrSi phase and a small amount of interdendritic Cu-based solid solution (Cuss) was designed and fabricated by the laser melting process using Cr–Si–Cu elemental powder blends as the precursor materials. The microstructure of the Cuss-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy was characterized by optical microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The Cuss-toughened silicide alloys have excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction under room temperature dry sliding wear test conditions with hardened 0.45% C carbon steel as the sliding–mating counterpart.

The present work was primarily conducted to study the wear behavior of as-received and severely deformed Al-15%Mg2Si in situ composites. The severe plastic deformation was applied using accumulative back extrusion (ABE) technique (one and three passes). The continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) was recognized as the main strain accommodation and grain refinement mechanism within aluminum matrix during ABE cycles. To investigate the wear properties of the processed material, the dry sliding wear tests were carried out on both the as-received and processed samples under normal load of 10 and 20 N at room temperature, 100 °C, and 200 °C. The results indicated a better wear resistance of processed specimens in comparison to the as-received ones at room temperature. In addition, the wear performance was improved as the ABE pass numbers increased. These were related to the presence of oxide tribolayer. At 100 °C, the as-received material exhibited a better wear performance compared to the processed material; this was attributed to the formation of a work-hardened layer on the worn surface. At 200 °C, both the as-received and processed composites experienced a severe wear condition. In general, elevating the temperature changed the dominant wear mechanism from oxidation and delamination at room temperature to severe adhesion and plastic deformation at 200 °C.

In a hydrogen-doped metallic glass, there appear low-temperature and high-temperature internal friction peaks respectively associated with a point-defect relaxation and the crystallization. The high-temperature-side slope of low-temperature peak and also the low-temperature-side slope of high-temperature peak enhance the background internal friction near the room temperature. A hydrogen-doped Mg-base metallic glass was proposed as a high-damping material to be used near and somewhat above the room temperature. Stability of the high damping was also checked.
