The tribological behavior of a steel/glass ball-on-flat contact was studied by synchronizing the friction measurements with an acoustic emission device and a vision system. The results highlight two distinct friction regimes identified with low and high friction values. Their transition is characterized by a modification of acoustic emission signals. In addition, two main damage and wear mechanisms are identified: the creation and propagation of Hertzian cracks visible on the glass surface and the constitution of an interfacial layer of debris. The different accommodation mechanisms, activated successively or simultaneously, are identified for acoustic emission frequencies between 300 and 700 kHz. Eventually, this approach allows a real-time wear mechanisms identification and gives better insights about acoustic emission signals in relation to tribological systems.

Owing to its outstanding physical and mechanical properties, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is ideal for cutting titanium alloys. However, the high temperature and stress caused by the interaction of tool surface and chip flow lead to different types of wear. This paper investigates the wear mechanisms of PCD tools in three different tribological regions: sticking zone, transition zone, and sliding zone, when machining titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. The tribological behavior of PCD tools in the wear processes were analyzed through both experiments and theoretical calculations. Analytical models of stresses and temperature distribution were developed and validated by turning experiments. PCD tools, consisting of diamond grains of different sizes: CTB002 (2 μm), CTB010 (10 μm), and CTM302 (2–30 μm), were used to cut Ti6Al4V at the normal cutting speed of 160 m/min and high cutting speed 240 m/min. It was found that adhesion, abrasion and diffusion dominated the wear process of PCD tools in different worn regions. Microscopic characters showed that the wear mechanisms were different in the three tribological regions, which was affected by the distribution of stresses and temperature. “Sticking” of workpiece material was obvious on the cutting edge, abrasion was severe in the transition zone, and adhesion was significant in the sliding zone. The shapes and morphological characters in different worn regions were affected by the stresses distribution and the types of PCD materials.

Due to its ability to resist thermal fatigue and creep resistance at higher temperature, nimonic C-263 super alloy is frequently applied in the hot combustion chamber of gas turbines. By virtue of the above they induce tool wear while machining which seriously affect the life of the component, and it is a serious concern, since it is used in critical applications. To monitor the status of the tool condition, several sensors are utilised, of which acoustic emission is most widely used due to its nature of generation phenomenon. In this paper PVD coated carbide insert is utilised to conduct tool wear study through turning of nimonic C-263 super alloy. The experiments were performed at different combinations of cutting conditions. The life of the cutting tool at different cutting conditions and the tool wear mechanisms were analysed. Results revealed that acoustic signal predict the condition well and that cutting velocity play a major role in the tool wear progression. Abrasion, micro chipping and plastic deformation are observed to be the major tool wear mechanisms.

Abstract In this study, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) technique was used to determine the wear mechanisms acting on uncoated and AlCrN-coated carbide tools and their variations during the machining process. To this end, tensile tests were performed on hardened AISI 4340 steel to characterize the acoustic emission (AE) signals and subsequently isolate the steel deformation and fracture mechanisms from the signs of tool wear during the steel turning. Machining tests were carried out using the following parameters: cutting speeds of 150, 200 and 250 m/min and feed rates of 0.10 and 0.20 mm/rev. The results demonstrate that AE signals in conjunction with STFT analysis can be used to identify abrasive wear, adhesive wear and other phenomena that occur during cutting.

Weldox960 steel is widely used in mechanical structure of military equipments as anti-wear parts. The tribological behavior and mechanisms of weldox960 steel were investigated under dry sliding friction conditions. The results show that friction coefficient of the steel increases from 0.268 to 0.365 with the increase of load. When the loads are smaller than 8N, the wear rates of the steel are in the range of 0.57~0.67×10-3 mm3/m, and the wear mechanism is multi-plastic deformation wear. If the loads are bigger than 10N, the wear rates increase to the range of 1.29~1.43×10-3 mm3/m, and the wear mechanisms change into delamination of the work-hardening layer and abrasive wear. The friction coefficients keep in a steady state of about 0.31 when the sliding speeds change from 0.05m/s to 0.2m/s. At the low speeds of 0.05m/s and 0.1 m/s, the wear rates are in the range of 1~1.3×10-3 mm3/m and the wear mechanisms are multi-deformation wear and abrasive wear. When the sliding speed increases to a critical value of 0.15m/s, the wear rates increase to 6.2×10-3 mm3/m and the wear mechanisms change into fatigue delamination of the work-hardening layer and multi-plastic deformation wear as well as oxidation wear.
