From comparative dry sliding pin-on-plate experiments on distinctive WC-Co and WC-Ni cemented carbides, machined by grinding or wire-EDM, correlations are derived between wear rate, wear volume and coefficient of friction and contact load, sliding distance, microstructure and surface finish condition. The EDM induced surface modification turns out to deteriorate wear resistance, especially during the wear-in stage of sliding. These findings are in agreement with X-ray diffraction measurements of the residual stress level in the WC phase.

At present, cobalt is the most commonly used binder material in tungsten carbide based hardmetals. Current research on sliding wear performance of these cemented carbides, however, reveals promising results for nickel binder as well. Test samples of WC-Co and WC-Ni hardmetals have been machined and surface finished by wire-EDM and grinding. From comparative dry sliding pin-on-plate experiments on wire-EDM’ed, ground and polished grades, correlations are derived between wear volume loss and friction on the one hand and contact pressure, sliding distance, binder phase and microstructure on the other hand. The lowest wear levels are encountered with polished cemented carbides. The EDM induced surface modification turns out to deteriorate wear resistance, especially during the running-in stage of sliding. These findings are in agreement with Xray diffraction measurements of the residual stress level in the WC phase.

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of friction and wear properties of WC-Cocemented carbides. A comparison is made between unlubricated rotating and linearly reciprocating pin-onplate sliding pairs. The plate specimens were WC-10wt%Co grades surface finished by polishing orsequential wire-EDM steps, whereas WC-6wt%Co pins were used as counter body. The tests were carriedout at room temperature using a sliding speed of 0.30m/s and mean Hertzain contact pressures of 1.76 and2.08 GPa, i.e., normal contact loads of 15N and 25N, respectively. The worn surfaces on plate sampleswere quantified in terms of 2–D wear profiles obtained by means of surface topography scanningequipment. Wear mechanisms such as polishing and abrasion were identified using optical microscopy.Inferior tribological characteristics for wire-EDM surface finish compared to polishing were found. Higherfriction coefficient and wear levels were measured in unidirectional rotating sliding experiments comparedto linearly reciprocating test conditions.

Incorporation of metallic elements, titanium and copper, into carbonaceous mesophase (CM) was performed through mechanical alloying in a ball mill apparatus. The structures of the raw CM as well as the Ti/Cu-added CM were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The tribological behavior of the Ti/Cu-added CM used as lubricating additives was investigated by using a high temperature friction and wear tester. The results show that, compared with the raw CM, the Ti/Cu-added CM exhibits a drop in the crystallinity and a transition to the amorphous. The Ti/Cu-added CM used as lubricating additive displays an obvious high temperature anti-friction and wear resistance effect, and the lager the applied load, the lower the friction coefficient and the wear severity.

sp2 rich carbon films were produced by using magnetron sputtering deposition. The hardness, friction coefficient and wear volume were elevated by Knoop micro-hardness and pin-on-disk tester; The composition and microstructure of the carbon films have been characterized in detail by combining the techniques of Rutherford Backscattering Spectrum (RBS), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrum (XPS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); the electrical resistivity was measured by Four Probe Methods (FPM). It is found that: the films hardness are 11~17GPa (HK0.05), the friction coefficients are 0.1-0.2, the wear rate is 10-15m3/Nm; The maximum intensity position in the C1s indicates the chemical bonds are mainly sp2; the electrical resistivity is 1~2×10-4Ω·m. XRD proves these carbon films are amorphous.

The present chapter aims to determine optimal tribo-testing condition for minimum coefficient of friction and wear depth of electroless Ni-P, Ni-P-W and Ni-P-Cu coatings under lubrication using grey relational analysis. Electroless Ni-P, Ni-P-W and Ni-P-Cu coatings are deposited on AISI 1040 steel substrates. They are heat treated at suitable temperatures to improve their hardness. Coating characterization is done using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-Ray analysis and X-Ray diffraction techniques. Typical nodulated surface morphology is observed in the scanning electron micrographs of all the three coatings. Phase transformation on heat treating the deposits is captured through the use of X-Ray diffraction technique. Vicker's microhardness of the coatings in their as-deposited and heat treated condition is determined. Ni-P-W coatings are seen to exhibit the highest microhardness. Friction and wear tests under lubricated condition are carried out following Taguchi's experimental design principle. Finally, the predominating wear mechanism of the coatings is discussed.

18Ni(300) maraging steel, which has exceptional strength and toughness, is used in the field of aviation and aerospace. In this paper, using a high-speed tribo-tester, tribological behaviors of 18Ni(300) maraging steel were investigated under high-speed dry sliding conditions. Morphology of the worn surfaces and the debris was analyzed by scanning electron microscope, and the oxides of worn surfaces caused by friction heat were detected by X-ray diffraction. The experiment results reveal that the friction coefficient of frictional pairs declines with increasing load and speed. With the speed and load increasing, oxides of the worn surfaces of 18Ni(300) maraging steel change from FeO to Fe3O4 and the wear mechanism converts from adhesive wear into severe oxidative or extrusion wear.
