The wear resistance of carbide-free bainitic microstructures have recently shown to be excellent in sliding, sliding-rolling, and erosive-abrasive wear. Boron steels are often an economically favorable alternative for similar applications. In this study, the erosive-abrasive wear performance of the carbide-free bainitic and boron steels with different heat treatments was studied in mining-related conditions. The aim was to compare these steels and to study the microstructural features affecting wear rates. The mining-related condition was simulated with an application oriented wear test method utilizing dry abrasive bed of 8–10 mm granite particles. Different wear mechanisms were found; in boron steels, micro-cutting and micro-ploughing were dominating mechanisms, while in the carbide-free bainitic steels, also impact craters with thin platelets were observed. Moreover, the carbide-free bainitic steels had better wear performance, which can be explained by the different microstructure. The carbide-free bainitic steels had fine ferritic-austenitic microstructure, whereas in boron steels microstructure was martensitic. The level of retained austenite was quite high in the carbide-free bainitic steels and that was one of the factors improving the wear performance of these steels. The hardness gradients with orientation of the deformation zone on the wear surfaces were one of the main affecting factors as well. Smoother work hardened hardness profiles were considered beneficial in these erosive-abrasive wear conditions.

Al 7075 alloy was manufactured using the twin-roll strip casting (TRC) process, and the mechanical and wear properties of the fabricated TRC process were investigated. To compare the properties of the alloy manufactured by TRC, another Al 7075 alloy was fabricated by conventional direct chill (DC) casting as a comparative material. Based on initial microstructure observations, the Al 7075 alloy manufactured by the DC process showed relatively elongated grains compared to the Al 7075 alloy by TRC process. In both alloys, η(MgZn2) phases were present at the grain and grain boundaries. In the Al 7075 alloy manufactured by the DC process, the η(MgZn2) phases were coarse with a size of ~86 nm and were mainly concentrated in the local area. However, the Al 7075 alloy manufactured by TRC had relatively fine η(MgZn2) phases size of ~40 nm, and they were evenly distributed throughout the matrix. When the mechanical properties of the two alloys were compared, the TRC process showed higher hardness and strength properties than the DC process. In room temperature wear test results, the TRC process exhibited lower weight loss and wear rates compared to the DC process at all wear loads. In other words, the TRC process resulted in relatively superior wear resistance properties compared to the conventional DC process. The wear behavior of both alloys changed from abrasive wear to adhesive wear as the wear load increased. However, the TRC process maintained abrasive wear up to higher loads. Based on the above results, a correlation between the microstructure and wear mechanism of the Al 7075 alloy manufactured by TRC is also suggested.

Test Methodology

Wear rates obtained from different investigators could vary significantly due to lack of a standard test method. A test methodology is therefore proposed in this paper to enable the steady-state wear rate to be determined more accurately, consistently, and efficiently. The wear test will be divided into four stages: (i) to conduct the transient wear test; (ii) to predict the steady-state wear coefficient with the required sliding distance based on the transient wear data by using Yang’s second wear coefficient equation; (iii) to conduct confirmation runs to obtain the measured steady-state wear coefficient value; and (iv) to convert the steady-state wear coefficient value into a steady-state wear rate. The proposed methodology is supported by wear data obtained previously on aluminium based matrix composite materials. It is capable of giving more accurate steady-state wear coefficient and wear rate values, as well as saving a lot of testing time and labour, by reducing the number of trial runs required to achieve the steady-state wear condition.

Abstract In this study, B4C and FeCrC powders were alloyed on the surface of AISI 430 by a fusion process via plasma transferred arc welding. Mixtures of these powders at various amounts were used. The microstructure and wear behavior of the obtained coating layers were investigated. The wear behavior of the coating layers was planned using the Taguchi method. Abrasive wear mass loss results were optimized with the “smaller the better” control characteristic of the Taguchi method, and the results were analyzed graphically. The actual data obtained at the end of the study were formed by using an L16 (4 × 2, 2 × 2) mixed array, and the remaining wear rates were calculated with the help of theoretical formulas in order to obtain theoretical abrasive wear results.

Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and hot pressing. The phases and dry sliding wear behavior were studied. The results show that Fe-28Al bulk materials are mainly characterized by the low ordered B2 Fe3Al structure with some dispersed Al2O3 particles. Fe-28Al-10Ti exhibits more excellent wear resistance than Fe-28Al, especially after long distance sliding wear test. There are obvious differences in wear mechanisms of Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys under different testing conditions. Under the load of 100N, there is plastic deformation on the worn surface of Fe-28Al. The main wear performance of Fe-28Al-10Ti is particle abrasion, the characteristics of which are micro cutting and micro furrows, but micro-crack and layer splitting begin to form on the surface of Fe-28Al. Under the load of 200N, serious plastic deformation and work-hardening lead to rapid crack propagation and eventually the fatigue fracture of Fe-28Al. Plastic deformation is the main wear mechanism of Fe-28Al-10Ti under the load of 200N, which are characterized by micro-crack and small splitting from the worn surface.

In the present study, the statistical analysis on tribological behavior of RZ5/TiB2 magnesium-based metal matrix composites is carried out using Taguchi design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique. Taguchi analysis using signal-to-noise ratio indicates that the sliding distance and wt.% TiB2 are the most significant factors in evaluating weight loss and coefficient of friction, respectively. The regression equation is formulated utilizing the ANOVA technique to study the output responses based on the input abrasive wear test experimental results. The regression equation is validated through a comprehensive study taking a series of abrasive wear tests and indicates the percentage deviation of regression modeling is in the range of ± 10%. The individual and combined effect of wear parameters on tribological behavior are investigated through the main effect plots and response surface plots. The micrograph of the worn surface of RZ5/TiB2 composites is studied using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), indicating the formation of an oxide layer on the worn surface.

The effect of tungsten carbide (WC) particulate fillers incorporation on two-body abrasive wear behaviour of glass fabric reinforced-epoxy (GE) composites was investigated and findings are interpreted. The wear behaviour of the composites were performed using pin-on-disc tester at varying abrasive distances viz., 25,50,75 and 100 m at a constant load of 20 N. The experiment was conducted using two different water proof silicon carbide (SiC) abrasive papers and at two different velocity under multi-pass condition. The wear loss of the composites found increasing with increase in abrading distances. A significant reduction in wear loss and specific wear rates were noticed after incorporation of WC filler into GE composite. This result indicates a significant improvement in wear resistance after incorporation of WC filler. The WC loaded systems exhibit less wear of matrix during abrasion which in turn facilitates lower fiber damage, due to the presence of WC particles on the counter surface which act as a transfer layer and effective barrier to prevent large-scale fragmentation. The worn out surface features were examined through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to probe the wear mechanism.

Three Body

The traditional classification of abrasive wear into two-and three-body, high and low stress, open and closed etc. does not recognise the essential importance of particle motion, which is better described as either sliding or rolling. Abrasive wear tests with free abrasives can produce either type of motion, depending on the test conditions. The widely-used dry sand rubber wheel test often produces both motions over different areas of the sample. The more recent micro-scale abrasion test tends to favour one or the other over most of the wear scar area. Analytical models can be developed which allow the dominant particle motion to be predicted, and mapped using readily accessible parameters. In erosive wear, particle motion can also be important; recent work suggests that particle rotation is imparted in some types of erosive wear test, and that it may be responsible for the differences in wear rate found in tests under nominally identical conditions with different designs of apparatus. It is suggested that in the use of laboratory abrasion and erosion tests, and in the analysis of practical instances of wear by hard particles, close attention should be paid to the nature of particle motion, since this will influence both the dominant wear mechanisms and also the wear rates.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the microstructure and the abrasive wear features of the untreated and pack borided GGG 50 quality ductile iron under various working temperatures. Design/methodology/approach GGG 50 quality as-cast ductile iron samples were pack borided in Ekabor II powder at 900°C for 3 h, followed by furnace cooling. Structural characterization was made by optical microscopy. Mechanical characterization was made by hardness and pin-on-disc wear test. Pin-on-disc test was conducted on a 240-mesh Al2O3 abrasive paper at various temperatures in between 25 and 450°C. Findings Room temperature abrasive wear resistance of the borided ductile iron increased with an increase in its surface hardness. High-temperature abrasive wear resistances of the borided ductile iron linearly decreased with an increase in test temperature. However, the untreated ductile iron exhibited relatively high resistance to abrasion at a temperature of 150°C. Originality/value This study can be a practical reference and offers insight into the effects of boriding process on the increase of room temperature wear resistance. However, above 150°C, the untreated ductile iron exhibited similar abrasive wear performance as compared to the borided ductile iron.

This paper aims to model abrasive wear for polymers using intersecting scratching technique. Scratch test and pin-on-disc test were conducted on five different polymers. Wear debris generated by intersecting scratching test was compared and correlated with the specific wear rates of the same polymers in a pin-on-disk test using ground steel surface as the counterface. It is the purpose of this paper to establish that an intersecting scratching test can be used as a means to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize wear performance of polymers.
