The effective means to solve material wear is to develop self-lubricating composite materials with excellent tribological, thermal, and mechanical properties. Herein, the composites of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) nanosheet decorated with Silicon Carbide (SiC) were facilely prepared with employing a silane coupling agent, and the corresponding r-GO/SiC/thermosetting polyimide (r-GO/SiC/TPI) nanocomposite films were obtained by in situ polymerization method. The mechanical, tribological, and thermal properties of these nanocomposite films were investigated. When the content of r-GO/SiC was at 1.0 wt%, the compression strength and compression modulus of the composite increased by 37.7% and 47.3%, respectively, which were much higher than that of TPI composites addition of r-GO or SiC alone. Furthermore, r-GO/SiC/TPI composites also exhibited the lowest wear rate and friction coefficient in these reinforced TPI nanocomposites. When the content of r-GO/SiC was 0.8 wt%, particularly, the friction coefficient and wear rate of r-GO/SiC/TPI decreased by 22.8% and 79.8% compared to pure TPI, respectively. Additionally, trace amount r-GO/SiC hybrids also significantly enhance the thermal stability of TPI matrix. Compared to the polyimide composites reinforced by common nano-scale inorganic fillers, the outstanding mechanical and tribological properties of this r-GO/SiC/PI composites could be attributed to the ball on plane structure of GO/SiC, which lead to crack reflection, strength increment. These r-GO/SiC/TPI composites demonstrate the promising potential to be used as high-performance tribological materials in industry applications.

Wear And Friction

Wear and friction hold an important place in engineering. Currently, scientific societies are struggling to control wear by means of studies on lubricants. Boric acid constitutes an important alternative with its good tribological properties similar to MO2S and graphite alongside with low environmental impacts. Boric acid can be used as a solid lubricant itself whereas it can be added or blended into mineral oils in order to yield better mechanical and tribological properties such as low shear stress due to the lamellar structure and low friction, wear and surface roughness rates. In this study, distinguishing from the literature, boric acid addition effect considering the temperature was investigated for the conventional ranges of internal combustion engines. Surface roughness, wear and friction coefficient values were used in order to determine tribological properties of boric acid as an environmentally friendly additive and mineral oil mixture in the present study. Wear experiments were conducted with a ball on disc experimental setup immersed in an oil reservoir at room temperature, 50[Formula: see text]C and 80[Formula: see text]C. The evolution of both the friction coefficient and wear behavior was determined under 10[Formula: see text]N load, at 2[Formula: see text]m/s sliding velocity and a total sliding distance of 9000[Formula: see text]m. Surface roughness was determined using atomic-force microscopy (AFM). Wear rate was calculated utilizing scanning electron microscope (SEM) visuals and data. The test results showed that wear resistance increased as the temperature increased, and friction coefficient decreased due to the presence of boric acid additive.

AbstractTo compare the merits of Ni and Cu, the mechanical and tribological properties of CrBN coatings modified by Ni or Cu incorporation were studied. The results demonstrated that the CrBN-Cu coatings presented a lower friction coefficient than CrBN and CrBN-Ni coatings owing to the improved lubrication effect of the CuO layer originating from the tribochemical reaction. However, the hardness decline due to Cu incorporation was much greater than that of Ni incorporation. Thus, the CrBN-Cu coatings exhibited a higher wear rate than the CrBN coating. In contrast, the plastic deformation enhancement induced by Ni incorporation exceeded the hardness decline. Therefore, the wear of CrBN-Ni coatings partially turned to plastic deformation to present a lower wear rate than that of the CrBN coating.

The mechanical and tribological properties of PA6/PPS blend reinforced by different content of carbon fiber were studied in the manuscript. It was found that the strength, modulus and hardness of PA6/PPS blend is improved apparently though breaking elongation rate and impact strength decreases to some extent. Average friction coefficient value of the carbon fiber reinforced PA6/PPS (PA6/PPS-CF) composites at the state stage is lower than PA6/PPS blend and PA6/PPS-CF10% exhibits the lowest friction coefficient of 0.34. As the content of carbon fiber increases, wear rate of the PA6/PPS-CF composites trends to increasing. These results is useful for providing some practical guidance for the application of polymer materials in the tribological field.

Mechanical And Tribological Properties

Abstract Background: Polyimide is one of the organic polymer materials with the best comprehensive performance. It has outstanding mechanical properties, excellent thermal stability and excellent corrosion resistance, but pure polyimide has high coefficient of friction and wear rate. By combining graphene with polyimide, the mechanical properties of the composite are significantly reformatived, and the friction coefficient and wear rate can be reduced. Objective: The molecular models were developed to study the mechanical and tribological properties of graphene as a reinforced material. Methods: In this paper, the mechanical properties and friction and wear mechanism of materials are studied by molecular dynamics method from the microscopic point of view. The Young’s modulus and hardness of composites were calculated using the strain constant method. Results: Molecular dynamics simulation results expressed that the Young’s modulus and hardness of polymer composites benefited by approximately 115% and 42%, respectively, after the addition of the graphene-reinforced material. The average friction coefficient and wear rate of polymer composites fall by 35% and 48%, respectively. Through the calculation and statistics of the micro-information in the process of friction simulation, the internal mechanism of various situations is revealed in the atomic dimension. Conclusions: Graphene can adsorb on the surface of polymer chain segment, a strong polymer matrix, through van der Waals and electrostatic forces and can effectively resist external loading.

The effect of nanoscale surface texture on the frictional and wear performances of nanocrystalline diamond films under water-lubricating conditions were comparatively investigated using a reciprocating ball-on-flat tribometer. Although the untreated nanocrystalline diamond film shows a stable frictional state with an average friction coefficient of 0.26, the subsequent textured films show a beneficial effect on rapidly reducing the friction coefficient, which decreased to a stable value of 0.1. Furthermore, compared with the nanocrystalline diamond coating, the textured films showed a large decreasing rate of the corresponding ball wear rate from 4.16 × 10−3 to 1.15 × 10−3 mm3/N/m. This is due to the fact that the hydrodynamic fluid film composed of water and debris can provide a good lubrication environment, so the entire friction process has reached the state of fluid lubrication. Meanwhile, the surface texture can greatly improve the hydrophilicity of the diamond films, and as the texture density increases, the water contact angle decreases from 94.75° of the nanocrystalline diamond film to 78.5° of the textured films. The proper textured diamond film (NCD90) exhibits superior tribological properties among all tested diamond films, such as short run-in period, low coefficient of friction, and wear rate.

The tribological properties of polyimide (PI) composites reinforced with graphite or MoS2 sliding in liquid alkali and water as well as dry friction were investigated using a ring-on-ring tester. The results show that the friction coefficient (μ) and wear rate (W) for both graphite/PI and MoS2/PI composites in different liquid mediums are μdry>μwater >μalkali and Wwater>Wdry >Walkali. Results also indicate that the friction coefficient and wear rate of the PI composites filled with different solid lubricants are μMoS2 >μgraphite and W MoS2 >Wgraphite in different liquid mediums. In addition, the hydrophobic inorganic fillers are fit for the reinforcement of polymer-based composites sliding in liquid mediums. It is also concluded from the authors’ work that the wear rate and friction coefficient of polymer-based (such as PI, PTFE) composites in the alkali lubricated conditions is lowest among all the friction conditions. This may be attributed to the ionic hydration in the alkaline solution.

This article covers the efforts on characterising ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool in terms of the mechanical and tribological properties such as hardness, coefficient of friction, and wear rate. These studies were attempted on the tools prepared at different temperatures ranging from −10 °C to 0 °C with a view to identify the condition suitable to prepare ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool for effective polishing of Ti–6Al–4V alloy specimen. It also presents the methods adopted to determine various properties of ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool. Hardness was estimated from the measured penetration depth of cone shape indenter into the tool, coefficient of friction was determined from the change in power drawn by the motor rotating the tool mould, and wear behaviour of tool was assessed from the melting rate of the tool determined from the change in height of ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool at different stages of polishing. From the results of this study, it is clear that ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool prepared at −4 °C has possessed sufficient hardness, coefficient of friction, and reasonable wear rate suitable for polishing of Ti–6Al–4V specimens. This article also covers the details of low-temperature coolant supply unit developed to prepare the ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool at any desired temperature between 0 °C and −40 °C and thus to maintain it for a long time. Polishing studies with such ice-bonded abrasive polishing tool showed 72% improvement in finish after 90 min of polishing of Ti–6Al–4V specimen with tool, prepared at −4 °C.

Abstract Hybrid materials with the metal matrix are important engineering materials due to their outstanding mechanical and tribological properties. Here are presented selected tribological properties of the hybrid composites with the matrix made of aluminum alloy and reinforced by the silicon carbide and graphite particles. The tribological characteristics of such materials are superior to characteristics of the matrix – the aluminum alloy, as well as to characteristics of the classical metal-matrix composites with a single reinforcing material. Those characteristics depend on the volume fractions of the reinforcing components, sizes of the reinforcing particles, as well as on the fabrication process of the hybrid composites. The considered tribological characteristics are the friction coefficient and the wear rate as functions of the load levels and the volume fractions of the graphite and the SiC particles. The wear rate increases with increase of the load and the Gr particles content and with reduction of the SiC particles content. The friction coefficient increases with the load, as well as with the SiC particles content increase.

CO2 has been regarded as one of the most promising blowing agents for polystyrene (PS) foam due to its non-flammability, low price, nontoxicity, and eco-friendliness. However, the low solubility and fast diffusivity of CO2 in PS hinder its potential applications. In this study, an attapulgite (ATP)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposite was developed using the in situ polymerization method to generate the hierarchical cell texture for the PS foam based on the supercritical CO2 foaming. The results demonstrated that the nanocomposite could act as an efficient CO2 capturer enabling the random release of it during the foaming process. In contrast to the pure PS foam, the ATP/PPy nanocomposite reinforced PS foam is endowed with high cell density (up to 1.9 × 106) and similar thermal conductivity as the neat PS foam, as well as high compression modulus. Therefore, the in situ polymerized ATP/PPy nanocomposite makes supercritical CO2 foaming desired candidate to replace the widely used fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons as PS blowing agents.

Properties Of Composites

This paper presents a facile and effective method for preparing Ni/NbSe2 composites in order to improve the wettability of NbSe2 and copper matrix, which is helpful in enhancing the friction-reducing and anti-wear properties of copper-based composites. The powder metallurgy (P/M) technique was used to fabricate copper-based composites with different weight fractions of Ni/NbSe2, and tribological properties of composites were evaluated by using a ball-on-disk friction-and-wear tester. Results indicated that tribological properties of copper-based composites were improved by the addition of Ni/NbSe2. In particular, copper-based composites containing 15 wt.% Ni/NbSe2 showed the lowest friction coefficient (0.16) and wear rate (4.1 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1) among all composites.
