The article presents theoretical and experimental studies of tribosystems operating under conditions of normal and abnormally low friction and wear when changing the external conditions of their operation. A comparative analysis of self-organization mechanisms of tribosystem operating under conditions of normal mechanochemical and abnormally low friction and wear is performed to determine the conditions of transition to such a mode. There was determined another possible way of converting tribosystems to conditions of abnormally low friction and wear by modifying the surface layer of bronze specimens using finishing treatment with the use of a mineral of amphiboles (jade) group.

AbstractUnder ion irradiation collisional mixing competes with phase separation if the irradiated solid consists of immiscible components. If a component is a chemical compound, there is another competition between the collisional forced chemical dissociation of the compound and its thermally activated re-formation. Especially at interfaces between immiscible components, irradiation processes far from thermodynamical equilibrium may lead to new phenomena. If the formation of nanoclusters (NCs) occurs during ion implantation, the phase separation caused by ion implantation induced supersaturation can be superimposed by phenomena caused by collisional mixing. In this contribution it will be studied how collisional mixing during high-fluence ion implantation affects NC synthesis and how ion irradiation through a layer of NCs modifies their size and size distribution. Inverse Ostwald ripening of NCs will be predicted theoretically and by kinetic lattice Monte-Carlo simulations. The mathematical treatment of the competition between irradiation-induced detachment of atoms from clusters and their thermally activated diffusion leads to a Gibbs-Thomson relation with modified parameters. The predictions have been confirmed by experimental studies of the evolution of Au NCs in SiO2 irradiated by MeV ions. The unusual behavior results from an effective negative capillary length, which will be shown to be the reason for inverse Ostwald ripening. Another new phenomenon to be addressed is self-organization of NCs in a d-layer parallel to the Si/SiO2 interface. Such d-layers were found when the damage level at the interface was of the order of 1-3 dpa. It will be discussed that the origin of the d-layer of NCs can be assigned to two different mechanisms: (i) The negative interface energy due to collisional mixing gives rise to the formation of tiny clusters of substrate material in front of the interface, which promotes heteronucleation of the implanted impurities. (ii) Collisional mixing in the SiO2produces diffusing oxygen, which may be consumed by the Si/SiO2 interface. A thin layer parallel to the interface becomes denuded of diffusing oxygen, which results in a strong pile up of Si excess. This Si excess promotes heteronucleation too. Independent of the dominating mechanism of self-organization of a d-layer of NCs, its location in SiO2 close to the SiO2/Si interface makes it interesting for non-volatile memory application.

Wear Analysis

Deep rolling is an established mechanical surface treatment technology based on local plastic deformation of the surface layer. By these means, residual stresses, and strain hardening are induced into the surface layer as well as its surface structure is smoothed. Vibrorolling is a derivate technology of deep rolling characterized by sinusoidal rolling lanes. Due to process kinematics of vibrorolling the surface layer is incrementally deformed multiple times in different directions. As a result, a more intensive plastic deformation of the surface layer is achieved and potentially tribologically active surface structures are produced. To investigate and compare the effects of both surface treatment technologies on the tribological behavior of a processed component, a friction and wear analysis under lubricated conditions was conducted in this work. Friction and wear behavior of untreated, deep rolled, and vibrorolled specimens using a pin-on-cylinder tribometer was conducted. Hardness, roughness, and geometrical measurements of the wear traces were used to characterize the specimens. Additionally, qualitative assessments of the wear traces using scanning electron microscopy imaging were made. The measurements were performed before, during, and after the friction and wear analysis. Furthermore, contact forces between a tribometer pin and the workpiece were determined to analyze the development of contact shear stresses. Based on the conducted investigations, the effects of deep rolling and vibrorolling on the friction and wear behavior of the treated specimens are discussed and explanations for the observed phenomena are formulated in this work.

Linear dominance hierarchies, which are common in social animals, can profoundly influence access to limited resources, reproductive opportunities and health. In spite of their importance, the mechanisms that govern the dynamics of such hierarchies remain unclear. Two hypotheses explain how linear hierarchies might emerge and change over time. The ‘prior attributes hypothesis’ posits that individual differences in fighting ability directly determine dominance ranks. By contrast, the ‘social dynamics hypothesis’ posits that dominance ranks emerge from social self-organization dynamics such as winner and loser effects. While the prior attributes hypothesis is well supported in the literature, current support for the social dynamics hypothesis is limited to experimental studies that artificially eliminate or minimize individual differences in fighting abilities. Here, we present the first evidence supporting the social dynamics hypothesis in a wild population. Specifically, we test for winner and loser effects on male hierarchy dynamics in wild baboons, using a novel statistical approach based on the Elo rating method for cardinal rank assignment, which enables the detection of winner and loser effects in uncontrolled group settings. Our results demonstrate (i) the presence of winner and loser effects, and (ii) that individual susceptibility to such effects may have a genetic basis. Taken together, our results show that both social self-organization dynamics and prior attributes can combine to influence hierarchy dynamics even when agonistic interactions are strongly influenced by differences in individual attributes. We hypothesize that, despite variation in individual attributes, winner and loser effects exist (i) because these effects could be particularly beneficial when fighting abilities in other group members change over time, and (ii) because the coevolution of prior attributes and winner and loser effects maintains a balance of both effects.

The article discusses the prospects of using combined thermal deformation surface processing to improve the performance properties of metal products. There is a new method of thermal deformation surface hardening (shot peening (SP) followed by laser heat treatment (LHT)) for tools and crown housings operating under difficult conditions proposed. For carrying out experimental studies, flat samples of 30KhGSA steel and steel 45 were selected. Preliminary hardening and finishing with static or dynamic methods of surface plastic deformation were carried out on a modernized installation based on a DYNAMITE 2800 numerical control machine, and SP was implemented on industrial equipment. Laser surface hardening of the samples was carried out in single passes with a sample moving speed of 300...500 mm/min with a laser beam diameter of 7.3 mm and a laser power of 1 kW using the ROFIN-SINAR DY 044 technological unit. The optimal regimes of surface hardening are determined under the deformation action of a gas-dynamic flow with solid particles and thermal action by a laser beam to obtain maximum values ​​of hardening depth and hardness. In particular, with SP, the gas-feed stream feed pressure is 0.5 MPa, the processing time is 1 min, regardless of the type of material. The optimal laser beam power is 1 kW at a sample travel speed of 300 mm/min. There are the results of experimental studies of the change in the hardening depth as a function of time and pressure after SP, the speed of movement of the treated sample from carbon steel 45 and medium alloyed steel 30KhGSA after LHT and combined SP+LHT, and also the distribution of microhardness over the depth of the hardened layer presented. It is revealed that the combined SP+LHT of 30 KhGSA steel at optimal modes forms 1.5 times (1.3 mm) greater depth of the strengthened surface layer in comparison with LHT, while providing the surface layer hardness of ~5400 MPa.
