Experimental investigation on tribological properties of carbon fabric composites: effects of carbon nanotubes and nano-silica

In this study, the effects of nano-[Formula: see text] and carbon nanotubes on the friction and wear properties of carbon-epoxy woven composites have been explored. The unfilled carbon fabric composites and carbon fabric composites filled with carbon nanotubes and nano-[Formula: see text] were fabricated by vacuum infusion process. The worn surfaces were examined and possible wear mechanisms of unfilled and filled carbon fabric composites were discussed. In addition, the friction coefficient curves of unfilled and filled carbon fabric composites were analyzed and compared. The experimental results showed that either of the two nano-particles improved the friction coefficient and wear rate of carbon fabric composites; however, better improvement was observed for nano-SiO2. By adding these nano-particles to unfilled carbon fabric composites, a primary steady-state period with a low friction coefficient appeared in the friction coefficient curve of the composites, which indicates enhancement in bonding strength between carbon fiber and epoxy matrix due to the interfacial reinforcing action of the nano-particles.

In the present work, the friction and wear properties of Polypropylene (PP) based composites filled with Hydroxyapatite (HA) particles were studied. Fillers contents in the PP were 10, 20, and 30 wt%. The effects of hydroxyapatite ratio on the water absorption, friction and wear properties of the polymer composites is presented. The result showed that the addition of HA to the composite changed the water absorption, friction coefficient and wear rate.

Antiwear Ability

Nb1-xTixSe2(x=0～1) micro/nano-particles have been successfully prepared via solid-state thermal (750°C) reaction between microsized Nb, Ti with Se powders under seal environment in a seal quartz tube and characterization by X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the morphologies of the as-prepared products changed from microplates to micro-nanoparticles or aggregations composed of layer structure with the doping of Ti. And the amount of regular hexagonal microplates evidently reduced and nanoscaled particles increased with the increase of the contents of Ti dopant within a certain limit (1-20 atwt. %). The tribological properties of the as-prepared products as additives in paraffin were investigated by UMT-2 multispecimen tribotester. By the addition of Nb1-xTixSe2micro/nanoparticles in paraffin, the antiwear ability was improved and the friction coefficient was decreased. The paraffin with Nb1-xTixSe2micro/nanoparticles showed better tribological properties than that with pure NbSe2. A combination of the molecule-bearing mechanism of sliding friction, and fill in-repair work between the rubbing surfaces can explain the good friction and wear properties of Nb1-xTixSe2micro/nanoparticles.

Friction And Wear Properties

The friction and wear properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings before and after gamma irradiation were studied under vacuum conditions. Experimental results indicated that the friction and wear properties of PTFE coatings were improved by gamma irradiation. Results showed that the wear process of PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation consists of three stages. The steps for the irradiated PTFE are slightly longer than that for the non-irradiated samples. The friction coefficient of irradiated PTFE coatings reduces slightly compared to that of the non-irradiated samples. The friction coefficients of the PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation first increase with the increase of sliding velocity and then decrease with the increase of sliding velocity, and The friction coefficient of PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation decreases with the increase of load. The wear of irradiated PTFE coatings is slightly lower than that of non-irradiated PTFE coatings. The wear of PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation first decreases with the increase of sliding speed and then increases as the sliding speed increases. The wear of PTFE coatings first decreases with the increase of load and then increases with the increase of load. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to investigate the worn surfaces.

Diamond Bit

To reduce the friction coefficient between impregnated diamond bit and rock, experiments on addition of graphite to the matrix material of bit cutters were conducted. The cutters were made up of diamond contained working layers and binding layers. The friction and wear properties of cutters and binding layers were investigated using a pin-on-disc friction & wear tester with granite as tribopair. The results showed that with addition of graphite, the hardness and friction coefficient of binding layer decreased, but its wear resistance increased; compared to cutters without graphite, those cutters containing graphite had lower wear loss and friction coefficient and their sliding wear process was much steadier, but diamond protrusion was still normal.
