In this work, tribological investigations on the neat polyester (NP) and woven (600 g/m2)-glass fabric reinforced polyester (WGRP) composite were carried out. Friction and wear characteristics of the WGRP composite were measured in three principal orientations, i.e., sliding directions relative to the woven glass fabric (WGF) orientations in the composites. These are longitudinal (L), transverse (T), and parallel (P) orientations. The experiments were conducted using a pin-on-disc (POD) machine under dry sliding conditions against a smooth stainless steel counterface. Results of friction coefficient and wear resistance of the composites were presented as function of normal loads (30–100 N) and sliding distances (0.5–7 km) at different sliding velocities, 1.7, 2.8, and 3.9 m/s. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the mechanisms of worn surfaces. Experimental results revealed that woven glass fabric improved the tribological performance of neat polyester in all three tested orientations. In L-orientation, at a low velocity of 1.7 m/s, WGRP exhibited significant improvements to wear resistance of the polyester composite compared to other orientations. Meanwhile, at high velocities (2.8 and 3.9 m/s), T-orientation gave higher wear resistance. SEM microphotographs showed different damage features on the worn surfaces, i.e., deformation, cracks, debonding of fiber, and microcracks.

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.

The effect of steel disc surface texturing on dry gross fretting in a ball-on-disc configuration was studied. Dimples were created with abrasive jet machining. The tribological performance of sliding pairs, steel–steel and steel–ceramics, was experimentally studied. The character of surface texturing effect was related to the dominant wear type. During steel–steel contact, the presence of dimples on disc surfaces could lead to increases in wear and friction. However, the escape of wear debris into dimples could result in reductions of friction and wear in the steel–ceramics configuration.

AbstractIn this study, the influence of micro- and nanofiller contents on the tribological performance of epoxy composites was studied. The fillers are micro-Al2O3, micro-TiO2, and micro-fly ash and nano-Al2O3, nano-TiO2, and nanoclay fillers. The microfillers were added to the epoxy by 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight. The nanofillers were added to the epoxy by 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. Friction and wear tests were conducted using the pin-on-disc arrangement. Tribo elements consisted of polymer pin and DIN 1.2344 steel counterface disc. A load value of 15 N, a sliding speed of 0.4 m/s, a sliding distance of 2000 m, and dry atmospheric conditions were applied to test conditions. The results show that the friction coefficients and the specific wear rates of the nanofilled composites increase as the filler content increases. For microfiller-filled epoxy composites, these values decrease as filler content increases. The tribological performance of epoxy composites is enhanced by the addition of microfillers, and the higher enhancement is reached with the addition of 30% fly ash filler. Finally, the pin and disc worn surface images show the presence of adhesive and some abrasive wear mechanisms.

Purpose In an internal combustion engine, piston ring-cylinder liner tribo pair is one among the most critical rubbing pairs. Most of the energy produced by an internal combustion engine is dissipated as frictional losses of which major portion is contributed by the piston ring-cylinder liner tribo pair. Hence, proper design of tribological parameters of piston ring-cylinder liner pair is essential and can effectively reduce the friction and wear, thereby improving the tribological performance of the engine. This paper aims to use surface texturing, an effective and feasible method, to improve the tribological performance of piston ring-cylinder liner tribo pair. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, influence of positive texturing (protruding) on friction reduction and wear resistance of piston ring surfaces was studied. The square-shaped positive textures were fabricated on piston ring surface by chemical etching method, and the experiments were conducted with textured piston ring surfaces against un-textured cylinder liner surface on pin-on-disc apparatus by continuous supply of lubricant at the inlet of contact zone. The parameters varied in this study are area density and normal load at a constant sliding speed. A comparison was made between the tribological properties of textured and un-textured piston ring surfaces. Findings From the experimental results, the tribological performance of the textured piston ring-cylinder liner tribo pair was significantly improved over a un-textured tribo pair. A maximum friction reduction of 67.6 per cent and wear resistance of 81.6 per cent were observed with textured ring surfaces as compared to un-textured ring surfaces. Originality/value This experimental study is helpful for better understanding of the potency of positive texturing on friction reduction and wear resistance of piston ring-cylinder liner tribo pair under lubricated sliding conditions.

Friction And Wear Characteristics

The effects of phosphorus on the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-5 at. percent Sn-P alloys containing 1–5 at. percent P were studied using a pin on disc apparatus. The results showed that the decrease in both the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear became conspicuous with the increase in quantity of Cu3P coexisting in the matrix; its amount increases with the content of phosphorus. The structural changes in the surface of the specimen due to heating in a vacuum were observed by using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was seen that the surface concentration of phosphorus strongly increased after heating at 573K, whereas the diffusion of tin atoms was markedly retarded. It was concluded from these results that the behavior of phosphorus atoms in the surface during sliding played an important role in the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-Sn-P alloys.

In many instances machined parts experience sliding motion while in contact with a counter surface. The performance of the contacting parts depends on their friction and wear characteristics. In this work the effects of the machining condition on the tribological performance of steel, brass, and duralumin are investigated. For steel, it is shown that the friction coefficient value remains about the same whereas the rate of wear varies as the cutting condition is altered. The friction coefficients for brass and duralumin were lower than that of steel and their tribological properties seem to be less sensitive to the machining condition. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the machining condition directly influences the surface integrity which in turn affects the tribological performance of the machined parts, and therefore, the machining condition for parts that experience contact sliding motion should be optimized for best tribological performance in addition to dimensional accuracy and surface roughness.

Abstract Friction and wear characteristics correlating the fiber reinforcement percentage of carbon-carbon (C/C) composites solely developed from petroleum pitch matrices were investigated. This study exhibits the tribo-characteristics of C/C composites developed in a single-step carbonization process for varying loads for the first time without a reimpregnation process. A pin-on-disc tribometer with a sliding speed of 0.5 m/s and loads of 5, 10, and 20 N with a flat tool grade stainless steel pin as a static partner was employed. Further, polarized light optical and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) were utilized for a morphological analysis. Elastic modulus and strength were determined by a compression test. A result analysis is conducted to analyze sliding wear accompanied with minor abrasion. The composites with a high percentage of reinforcement exhibit credible wear resistance and mechanical robustness.

ABSTRACTBiological materials such as shells possess a useful combination of mechanical properties. For instance, good fracture toughness combined with a relatively high hardness has been reported. The response of these properties to a tribological performance could presumably be very beneficial. Unfortunately no such research has been reported, although this kind of information is invaluable in possible utilization of biomimetic or biological processes in producing of materials.In this work chemical composition of Unio Crassus shells were characterized using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and the microstructure was determined with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Specimens of 20×10 mm in size with a thickness of a few millimetres were cut and mechanically polished followed by ultrasonic cleaning in deionized water. Wear and friction measurements were performed in a pin-on-disc tester with a hardened steel pin 6 mm in diameter as a counter face. Tests were carried out in a relative humidity of 50 % at room temperature with a sliding speed of 15 mm/s. The measurements indicate a friction coefficient of 0.3 – 0.4 which is reasonable low. Moreover, wear resistance was found to be excellent. The wear resistance of the material was similar to those of the best synthetic diamond-like carbon films. The storage of the specimen at room temperature for 150 days deteriorated the material resulting in much worse tribological properties.

The friction and wear behavior of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites was investigated, which are reinforced with nanometer Al2O3 or nanometer TiO2 and blended with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in a fixed weight fraction of 10% and are prepared by heat compression moulding. The studies emphasized particularly on the nanometer Al2O3 filled PEEK composites. The tests were performed on a pin-on-disc test apparatus with a PEEK composite pin sliding against AISI 1020 carbon steel disc under dry friction conditions and were all carried out at room temperature. The worn surfaces of the PEEK composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that the above PEEK composites exhibited lower friction coefficient and wear rate in comparison with the mixture of PEEK with PTFE. The SEM micrographs of the worn surfaces indicated that the scratched and ploughed marks appeared on the wear scar of PEEK filled with PTFE, while the scuffing on the worn surfaces of nanometer Al2O3/PTFE/PEEK was obviously abated. The optimal content of nanometer Al2O3 in the filled PEEK composite should be recommended as 6.5 wt %. The friction behavior of the nanometer TiO2/PTFE/PEEK composites was far better than that of the nanometer Al2O3/PTFE/PEEK composites under the same test conditions and with the same content of nanometer compounds, which was perhaps due to much more strong synergistic effect between nanometer TiO2 and PTFE than that between nanometer Al2O3 and PTFE.

Enhanced corrosion and wear resistance are crucially important to prolong the service life of biomaterials. Boronizing has been reported to enhance the wear resistance of pure chromium. In this research, we investigate friction and wear behavior of boronized chromium. Pin-on-disc tribometer was used to conduct the wear and friction tests. Experiments were conducted in dry conditions as well as in simulated body fluid (SBF). Fundamental aspects of wear mode and lubrication behavior were studied using surface characterization techniques such as TEM, and X-ray diffraction. Results showed evidence of tribo-chemical interactions between SBF and work piece materials.
