The friction and wear behaviors of Si3N4/GCr15 were studied on the pin-on-disk machine under three different lubrication conditions. The results showed that both the friction and the wear were significantly lower in glycol than in deionized water and kerosene. The steady friction coefficient was 0.02 in glycol, 0.05 in deionized water and 0.20 in kerosene. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that formation and dissolution of the film may occur in deionized water and glycol. The main wear mechanisms were tribochemical and abrasive wear in deionized water, fretting wear for tribochemical film by esterification of oxidized surface of Si3N4 in glycol, corrosive and adhesive wear in kerosene.

Friction and wear studies of Nimonic 80A and 21-4N valve materials against GGG-40 under dry sliding conditions, at temperatures ranging from 50 °C to 500 °C, are presented in this paper. Friction coefficient was found to be continuously decreased with time for all tests with prominent running-in behavior seen in the 50 °C and 500 °C tests. Higher friction coefficient and wear were observed at 300 °C as compared to those at 50 °C and 500 °C. Formation of oxide Fe3O4, at 300 °C, was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, which resulted in a higher friction coefficient and wear. Raman spectroscopy further revealed the presence of α-Fe2O3, hematite, in most cases, with the presence of oxides of Ni–Cr and Ni–Fe as well. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) results on the samples confirmed the same. Wear at 500 °C was found to be the least for both the valve materials with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirming the formation of well-developed glaze layers.

The soft body of dipteran larva has been posing a difficulty for entomologist to go for scanning electron microscopy. Dehydration by the conventional methods results in crumpling of the larval integument thereby distorting the minute details. The cuticle is impermeable to various types of fixatives and its puncturing with needle causes severe distortion of structure due to haemoiymphloss. To avoid this a new method was developed to prepare specimen for scanning electron microscopy. The specimen was kept in doubled is tilled deionized water at 60°C for half an hour before further treatment. It was sonicated in mild detergent (Sodium bicarbonate) for 30 sec. It was again washed with deionized water and specimen was placed in modified super skiper's solution (Grodowitz et al., 1982) and then rinsed twice in Carl's solution, after dehydration through ethanol series, critical point drying was done. Specimen was coated with gold pulludium and photographed by using JEM - 1200 EX (Jeol) electron microscope and Indu Panchromatic 125 ASA black and white film.

Nanometer-silicon dioxide encapsulated in lithium grease is prepared, and the frictional behavior of the lithium grease and nanometer-silicon dioxide–contained lithium grease is compared with respect to the additive content, load, and frictional temperature in this article. The structure and morphology of nanometer-silicon dioxide is characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Friction and wear tests were conducted on a four-ball friction and wear tester. The morphology of worn steel surface is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and three-dimensional surface profiler. Results show that the addition of nanometer-silicon dioxide in grease can markedly improve the friction-reducing performance and anti-wear ability of base grease. When the nanometer-silicon dioxide in grease is 0.3 wt%, the friction coefficient and wear scar diameter decrease by 26% and 7% compared with base grease, respectively. The nanometer-silicon dioxide (0.3 wt%)–contained grease exhibits the lowest average friction coefficient at the load of 342 N, which decreases by 39% as compared with that of base grease. The worn surface is quite smooth with few shallow furrows and the wear scar diameter decreases under the lubrication of the grease containing 0.3 wt% nanometer-silicon dioxide. Moreover, it was found that the nanometer-silicon dioxide have been incorporated into the surface protective and lubricious layer by energy dispersive spectrometer analysis.

Brush plated of Cu/Ni multilayer coating from a single sulfate electrolyte was prepared. The influence of applied voltage on the composition of the deposit and deposition rate was investigated to optimize the plating parameters. Wear tests were carried out in ball-on-plate geometry unlubricated. Wear scar morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. It was found that the brush plated multilayer coating was highly dense and free from porosity. The multilayer coating showed less wear than Ni coating brush plated from the same solution. The increase in the wear resistance of the multilayer coating was attributed to lubricating effect of the transform film formed by Cu wear particles.

The wear behavior of different plant abrasive to 45# steel was studied by using an abrasive rubber wheel tester. The worn surface of the frictional samples morphology was observed by using Scanning Electron Microscopy, and the wearing mechanism of different abrasive to 45# steel was analyzed. The results show that: on the experiment conditions, the wear loss from big to small is alfalfa abrasive, corn abrasive and wheat abrasive, and the wear rules of corn abrasive and wheat abrasive are similar, but the wear loss of alfalfa abrasive is much higher than the former two. The wear dominant mechanism of the wheat abrasive to 45# steel is mechanical polishing, the wear dominant mechanism of the corn abrasive to 45# steel is mechanical polishing and adhesive wear, the wear dominant mechanism of the alfalfa abrasive to 45#steel is micro-cutting and adhesive wear.

Aluminum-based composite materials reinforced with fullerene soot, which is a mixture of fullerene and amorphous carbon, are promising materials for friction and wear applications. Composite materials: aluminum with 2% fullerene soot (f.s) and Al with 2% f.s and 2% Cu were obtained via mechanical milling followed by hot pressing. The tribological properties (friction and wear) of the listed composites were investigated and compared with the results for pure aluminum obtained under similar conditions. It has been shown that the addition of fullerene soot reduces the friction coefficient by 25%. At additional alloying with copper, the friction coefficient decreased by 35% in comparison with pure aluminum and also lad to a decrease in friction fluctuations. The wear rate of composite Al with 2% f.s decreased twice in comparison with that of pure aluminum, and with additional alloying it decreased 2.5 times. The morphology of the wear surfaces was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of fullerene soot and additional alloying on the wear mechanism was shown.

Poly(phenylene-sulfide)/ Poly(ether-sulfone) polymer composites (coded as PPS/PES) reinforced by Potassium Titanate Whisker(PTW) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were prepared by compression molding. The effect of the filler on the mechanical and tribological properties of the PPS/PES composites was investigated, based on the evaluation of the composites’ properties and examination of the worn surfaces by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that the incorporation of the PTW contributed to greatly increase the impact strength,tensile strength,and bending strength of the composites, and apparently improve its tribological performance. The composite had a best synthetical performance when the PTW content was about 20wt. %. The wear mechanism of the composites,which could be closely related to the content of PTW, gradually changed from adhesive wear to particle abrasion with the addition of PTW.

Recently, the wear properties of high-leaded tin bronze were greatly concerned. In this work, the effect of size refinement and distribution of the lubricating lead phases in the spray forming (SF) high-leaded tin bronze on wear rates was studied by using scanning electron microscopy and sliding adhesive wear tests. It was observed that compared to the conventional casting bronze, the SF bronze features finer and more dispersed lead phases that formed more lubricating films in microstructure, which leads to the less wear rates.
