In this paper, we report on the tribological and wear properties of Ti3SiC2 and its derivatives. Coarse-grained Ti3SiC2 was not wear resistant at room temperature. Preoxidation of the material at 700 °C for 5 h also failed to ameliorate the situation at room temperature. Addition of 20 vol.% Cu in the matrix improved the wear rate for up to 1500 m; beyond that distance the friction and wear increased. Ti3SiC2 tested at 500 °C showed improved wear resistance most probably due to the formation of oxide tribofilms. More work is being done to understand the basic mechanism behind this behavior.

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.

A considerable test was made to figure out the effects of temperature and sliding conditions on the wear properties of the translucent Dy--Sialon. The friction coefficient was 0.54 at RT, 0.26 at 100 oC, and 0.81 at 600 oC respectively under an applied load of 5N. The wear rate was 6.91×10-15 at RT and 1.0×10-15 at 100 oC for the same Dy--Sialon sample. Obviously Dy-Sialon shows an excellent wear resistance under a suitable sliding condition, a load of 5N and at 100 oC. This appears attractive and important for Dy-Sialon ceramics to be used as a type of special wear resistant materials, with an optical translucence.

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.

In order to increase the surface hardness and wear-resistance property of sled track slippers, a Ni80Al20-MoS2 composite coating was fabricated on the surface of a stainless steel 0Cr18Ni9Ti sled track slipper via atmospheric spray and hot dipping. The microstructure, composition and surface hardness of coatings under different spraying powers were characterized and measured. The wear-resistant properties of the slipper substrate and the coating were also checked. The results showed that the higher the spraying power was, the greater the smoothness, density and hardness was of the Ni80Al20 coating, while the thickness initially increased and then decreased. When the spraying power was 18 kW, the thickness was 342.5 μm, the surface hardness was 304.1 Hv0.2, and the coating was composed of Ni, Al, Ni3Al, NiAl and a little Al2O3. The friction coefficient of the slipper substrate against GCr15 balls at room temperature in air was 0.7, while the coated substrate with MoS2 lubrication film was 0.3 and the volume wear rate declined by 1/5. The friction coefficient of the Ni80Al20 coating was 0.5 and the Ni80Al20-MoS2 composite coating was 0.15, while the volume wear rate declined by 1/4 and 1/3.

AbstractThe need for development of high temperature wear resistant composite materials with superior mechanical properties and tribological properties is increasing significantly. The high temperature wear properties of aluminium boron carbide composites was evaluated in this investigation. The effect of load, sliding velocity, temperature and reinforcement percentage on wear rate was determined by the pin heating method using pin heating arrangement. The size and structure of base alloy particles change considerably with an increase of boron carbide particles. The wettability and interface bonding between the matrix and reinforcement enhanced by the addition of potassium flurotitanate. ANOVA technique was used to study the effect of input parameters on wear rate. The investigation reveals that the load had higher significance than sliding velocity, temperature and weight fraction. The pin surface was studied with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. Regression analysis revealed an extensive association between control parameters and response. The developed composites can be used in the production of automobile parts requiring high wear, frictional and thermal resistance.

Cr3C2-NiCr has high quality of wear resistant properties and is widely used in abrasive environment. In this paper, Cr3C2-NiCr coating was prepared on 45 steel by laser cladding technology. Analysis and research of the coatings were achieved by SEM and XRD to determine the main component and the different region on coatings. The hardness and the element component were investigated by micro-hardness tester and EDS. Abrasion tests were performed to contrast the wear resistance of two materials. The results indicate that the hardness of the coatings is nearly 3 times as the substrate. The coatings are well combined with the substrate and the phase of Cr3C2 has a large proportion in the coatings. Abrasion tests show that the average of wear rate on substrate is 5.2 times as the coatings.

Purpose This paper aims to obtain high mechanical and good tribological properties of epoxy resin-based coatings under dry friction conditions. Design/methodology/approach Bonded solid lubricant coatings containing Kevlar fibres were prepared by a spraying method. The friction and wear properties of the coatings were experimentally investigated with a face-to-face tribometre under dry friction conditions. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and 3D laser scanning technologies were used to characterise the tribological properties. The action mechanism of the Kevlar fibres on a solid lubricant transfer film was also analysed. Findings Adding Kevlar fibres can significantly improve the wear resistance of the coatings. When the Kevlar fibre content increases, the tribological properties of the coatings improve and then worsen. Superior properties are obtained with 0.03 g of Kevlar fibres. Appropriately increasing the load or speed is beneficial to the removal of the outer epoxy resin and the formation of a lubricant film. During friction, the solid lubricants wrapped in the epoxy resin accumulate on the surface to form a transfer film that shows a good self-lubricating performance. In the later friction stage, fatigue cracks occur on the solid lubricant film but cannot connect to one another because of the high wear resistance and the entanglement of the rod-like Kevlar fibres. Thus, no large-area film falls from the matrix, thereby ensuring the long-term functioning of solid lubricant coatings. Originality/value Epoxy resin-based solid lubricant coatings modified by Kevlar fibres were prepared, and their friction and wear properties were investigated. Their tribological mechanisms were also proposed. This work provided a basis for the analysis of the tribological properties and design of bonded solid lubricant coatings containing Kevlar fibres.

AbstractTo reduce the friction coefficient of cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-12Co) wear-resistant coatings, graphene was compounded into WC-12Co powder via wet ball milling and spray granulation. Self-lubricating and wear-resistant graphene coatings were prepared via detonation gun spraying. The presence, morphologies, and phase compositions of graphene in the powders and coatings that are obtained through different powder preparation processes were analyzed. The analysis was performed using the following technologies: energy-dispersive X-ray-spectroscopy (EDXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of the coatings were studied using a microhardness tester and a universal drawing machine. The friction and wear properties of the coatings were studied using an SRV-4 friction and wear tester. The results showed that the graphene content in the WC-12Co coating modified with graphene was higher than that without modification; graphene was embedded in the structure in a transparent and thin-layer state. The adhesive strength of this coating at approximately 25 °C was approximately 60.33 MPa, and the hardness was approximately 984 HV0.3. After high-temperature treatment, the adhesive strength and hardness of the graphene oxide (GO)/WC-12Co coating decreased slightly (the lowest adhesive strength of 53.16 MPa was observed after treatment at 400 °C, and the lowest hardness of approximately 837 HV0.3 was observed after treatment at 300 °C). Compared to the friction coefficient (0.6) of the WC-12Co coating obtained at room temperature, the friction coefficient of the GO/WC-12Co coating was decreased by approximately 50% of that value. The graphene-modified coating was continuously exposed to the wear tracks on the surface of the contacting materials during friction, and a lubricating film was formed in the microareas in which the wear tracks were present. The coating exhibited improved self-lubricating and wear-resistant effects compared to the unmodified WC-12Co coating. The results of this study demonstrated that graphene could be effective in self-lubrication and wear-reduction in a temperature range of 100–200 °C, as a friction coefficient of 0.3 was maintained.
