Properties Of Composites

In order to improve the wear resistance, Fe–Cr–C alloy and β-Si3N4 whiskers were chosen as the hard phases in bronze-graphite to prepare self-lubricating composite. Friction behaviors were tested with counter material 45# steel to evaluate the tribological properties of composites. The results indicated that Fe–Cr–C alloy and β-Si3N4 whiskers played different roles in composites. β-Si3N4 whiskers can obviously decrease the wear rate by excellent wear resistance. While the Fe–Cr–C alloy had better wettability with matrix, which improved the interfacial bonding and provided a continuous wear resistance. Moreover, Fe–Cr–C alloy also played a role in maintaining the friction coefficient stability, and this effect was more significant in the conditions of high rotational speeds. The composite containing 12.5 vol.% β-Si3N4 whiskers and 2.5 vol.% Fe–Cr–C alloy in this research showed good friction performance.

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.

Purpose Aluminium and its alloys are the most preferred material in aerospace and automotive industries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio. However, these alloys are found to be low wear resistance. Hence, the incorporation of ceramic particles with the aluminium alloy may be enhanced the mechanical and tribological properties. The purpose of this study is to optimize the specific wear rate and friction coefficient of titanium dioxide (TiO2) reinforced AA7075 matrix composites. The four wear control factors are considered, i.e. reinforcement (Wt.%), applied load (N), sliding velocity (m/s) and sliding distance (m). Design/methodology/approach The composites were fabricated through stir casting route with varying weight percentages (0, 5, 10 and 15 Wt.%) of TiO2 particulates. The mechanical properties of the composites were studied. The specific wear rate and friction coefficient of the newly prepared composites was determined by using a pin-on-disc apparatus under dry sliding conditions. Experiments were planned as per Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal design. Signal-to-noise ratio analysis was used to find the optimal combination of parameters. Findings The mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and hardness of the composites significantly improved with the addition of TiO2 particles. The analysis of variance result shows that the applied load and reinforcement Wt.% are the most influencing parameters on specific wear rate and friction coefficient during dry sliding conditions. The scanning electron microscope morphology of the worn surface shows that TiO2 particles protect the matrix from more removal of material at all conditions. Originality/value This paper provides a solution for optimal parameters on specific wear rate and friction coefficient of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) using Taguchi methodology. The obtained results are useful in improving the wear resistance of the AA7075-TiO2 composites.

Abstract The present paper discusses and analyses tribological properties of various coatings that increase surface wear resistance. Four Ti/C-N nanocoatings with different coating deposition settings are analysed. Tribological and metrological tests on the samples are performed: 2D and 3D parameters of the surface roughness are measured with modern profilometer, and friction coefficient is measured with CSM Instruments equipment. Roughness parameters Ra, Sa, Sz, Str, Sds, Vmp, Vmc and friction coefficient at 6N load are determined during the experiment. The examined samples have many pores, which is the main reason for relatively large values of roughness parameter. A slight wear is identified in all four samples as well; its friction coefficient values range from 0,.21 to 0.29. Wear rate values are not calculated for the investigated coatings, as no expressed tribotracks are detected on the coating surface.

This present study aims to investigate the dry sliding wear behaviour of tungsten disulfide (WS2) particle reinforced bronze matrix composite against surface hardened steel and to discover the optimum wear parameter values such as applied load, sliding distance, sliding velocity and volume fraction of reinforcement to reduce the specific wear rate. The composite specimens were fabricated by liquid metallurgy route by varying the volume fraction of solid lubricant particles and prepared as per American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM) G99-95. The experiments were carried out based on Taguchi design of experiments technique with L27 orthogonal array. The wear tests were conducted in pin-on disc wear testing machine for different loads - 20N, 40N and 60N, sliding velocities - 2.09m/s, 2.62 m/s and 3.14m/s and sliding distances of 600m, 1200m and 1800m in unlubricated conditions. The significant influence of wear parameters on sliding wear, interactions and optimum combination of wear parameter values to minimize the wear rate were obtained by signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results demonstrated that inclusion of tungsten disulfide particles decreased the wear rate of bronze and also the increases in amount of secondary phase increase the wear resistance of composites. The effect of solid lubricant particle on interfacial temperature was also studied and reported. It was found that percentage of solid lubricant and load are the most significant factors influencing the friction and wear properties of composites. The results revealed that, WS2 particle reinforced bronze matrix composites were the potential component can be replaced for pure bronze products in wear resistance applications.

The dry-sliding tribological properties of the dendrite composite eutectic Fe-B alloys (Fe94.3B5.7, Fe75B25 Fe67B33) were studied comparatively with various sliding speeds. The friction coefficient of the Fe-B alloy changes slightly with the boron content. The wear rate of the Fe94.3B5.7 alloy with about 30 vol. % dendrite t-Fe2B is only one third of Fe75B25 alloy with 15 vol. % dendrite and Fe67B33 alloy with 90 vol. % dendrite in the high sliding speed. First, a hard t-Fe2B phase reduced the wear of the Fe-B alloy directly. Second, the compactly oxide layers resulting from oxidation of the α-Fe on the worn surfaces also decreases the wear rate of Fe-B alloys. On the whole, the wear rate of the Fe94.3B5.7 is lower than Fe67B33 and Fe75B25.

Due to their excellent synergistic properties, Aluminum Matrix Composites (AMC) have achieved a high degree of prominence in different industries. In addition to strength, the wear resistance of materials is also an important criterion for numerous applications. The wear resistance depends on the surface topography as well as the working conditions of the interacting parts. Therefore, extensive experiments are being conducted to improve the suitability of engineering materials (including AMC) for different applications. This paper presents research on manufactured aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced with 10 wt.% of Al2SiO5 (aluminum sillimanite). The manufactured and prepared samples were subjected to surface topography measurements and to tribological studies both with and without lubricant using a block-on-ring tester. Based on the results, analyses of the surface topography (i.e., surface roughness parameters, Abbott–Firestone curve, and surface defects) as well as of the tribological characteristics (i.a. friction coefficient, linear wear, and wear intensity) were performed. Differences in the surface topography of the manufactured elements were shown. The surface topography had a significant impact on tribological characteristics of the sliding joints in the tests where lubrication was and was not used. Better tribological characteristics were obtained for the surfaces characterized by greater roughness (determined on the basis of both the profile and surface texture parameters). In the case of tribological tests with lubrication, the friction coefficient as well as the wear intensity was significantly lower compared to tribological tests without lubrication. However, lower values of the friction coefficient and wear intensity were still recorded for the surfaces that were characterized by greater roughness. The obtained results showed that it is important to analyze the surface topography because surface characteristics influence tribological properties.

In this study, 5 wt. % Ti3SnC2/Cu composite was synthesized by hot pressed sintering, and its tribological properties against AISI52100 steel balls were investigated using a ball-on-disk wear tester. The effects of sliding speeds and applied loads on the tribological behavior of Ti3SnC2/Cu were studied. The results showed the wear rate of Ti3SnC2/Cu composite increased with the increase of applied load and decreased with increase of sliding speed. The main tribological mechanisms of Ti3SnC2/Cu were abrasive wear and slightly oxidative wear. The friction coefficient of Ti3SnC2/Cu composite was stable and much lower than that of Cu at the same conditions. The loads were effectively born by the Ti3SnC2particles and the wear resistance of the matrix was obviously improved.

Copper–graphite composites reinforced with SiO2 particles were fabricated by powder metallurgy technique. Electroless copper plating was introduced to improve the interfacial bonding between SiO2 particles and copper matrix. The microstructure, density, and hardness of the composites were characterized. The tribological properties, such as friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites, were studied using a pin-on-ring tribometer. The results show that the hard SiO2 can restrict the severe plastic deformation and adhesion contact in the process of wear. At the same time, parts of SiO2 particles can be broken into fine particles during wear process, which is helpful for decreasing adhesion wear and abrasive wear. Therefore, the addition of SiO2 leads to increasing friction stability and friction coefficient, and decreasing wear rate. In addition, the electroless copper plating improves the interfacial bonding between SiO2 and copper matrix, which prevents separation of SiO2 from copper matrix and further increase tribological properties of the composites.

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.
