Abstract Abstract Austenitic 316L steel is well-known for its good resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Therefore, this material is often used wherever corrosive media or high temperatures are to be expected. The main drawback of this material is very low hardness and low resistance to mechanical wear. In this study, the laser boriding was used in order to improve the wear behavior of this material. As a consequence, a composite surface layer was produced. The microstructure of laser-borided steel was characterized by only two zones: re-melted zone and base material. In the re-melted zone, a composite microstructure, consisting of hard ceramic phases (borides) and a soft austenitic matrix, was observed. A significant increase in hardness and wear resistance of such a layer was obtained.

Friction stir Processing is an important surface modifying technique to produce composite surface layer. This paper evaluates the effect of tool rotational speed, traverse speed and shoulder diameter on hardness and wear behavior of Al-B4C surface nano composite produced by FSP method. A Five level rotatable central composite design is used to predict the optimum input process parameters to fabricate the sound composite layer. Response surface methodology (RSM) Technique was used for analyzing the relationship between responses and process parameters. The results revealed that the shoulder diameter has more influence on achieving maximum hardness and wear resistance. To study the wear mechanisms, the selected wear worn out samples are analyzed through SEM studies

Corrosion And Oxidation

Austenitic 316L stainless steel is known for its good resistance to corrosion and oxidation. However, under conditions of appreciable mechanical wear, this steel had to demonstrate suitable wear protection. In this study, laser surface alloying with boron and some metallic elements was used in order to improve the hardness and wear behavior of this material. The microstructure was described in the previous paper in detail. The microhardness was measured using Vickers method. The “block-on-ring” technique was used in order to evaluate the wear resistance of laser-alloyed layers, whereas, the potentiodynamic method was applied to evaluate their corrosion behavior. The produced laser-alloyed layers consisted of hard ceramic phases (Fe2B, Cr2B, Ni2B or Ni3B borides) in a soft austenitic matrix. The significant increase in hardness and wear resistance was observed in the case of all the laser-alloyed layers in comparison to the untreated 316L steel. The predominant abrasive wear was accompanied by adhesive and oxidative wear evidenced by shallow grooves, adhesion craters and the presence of oxides. The corrosion resistance of laser-alloyed layers was not considerably diminished. The laser-alloyed layer with boron and nickel was the best in this regard, obtaining nearly the same corrosion behavior as the untreated 316L steel.

The wear behavior of brush-plating a Ni-W-Co/SiC composite layer on 1045 steel with oil lubrication is investigated. The composite layer is determined by OM, XRD and TEM. The worn surface of the plated layer is observed with SEM and laser profile analysis. The composition and average size of worn debris are analyzed by means of ferrograph and fluid spectrum. The results show that the brush-plated composite layer with added SiC particles reveals high wear resistance compared to the Ni-W-Co brush-plated layer.

316L Steel

Austenitic 316L steel is known for its good oxidation resistance and corrosion behavior. However, the poor wear protection is its substantial disadvantage. In this study, laser surface alloying with boron and some metallic elements was used in order to form the surface layers of improved wear behavior. The microstructure was studied using OM, SEM, XRD, and EDS techniques. The laser-alloyed layers consisted of the only re-melted zone (MZ). The hard ceramic phases (Fe2B, Cr2B, Ni2B, or Ni3B borides) occurred in a soft austenitic matrix. The relatively high overlapping (86%) resulted in a uniform thickness and homogeneous microstructure of the layers. All the laser-alloyed layers were free from defects, such as microcracks or gas pores, due to the use of relatively high dilution ratios (above 0.37). The heat-affected zone (HAZ) wasn’t visible in the microstructure because of the extended stability of austenite up to room temperature and no possibility to change this structure during fast cooling. The use of the mixtures of boron and selected metallic elements as the alloying materials caused the diminished laser beam power in order to obtain the layers of acceptable quality. The thickness of laser-alloyed layers (308–432 μm) was significantly higher than that produced using diffusion boriding techniques.

Tungsten (W) based alloy composite layer reinforced with TiC particles has been successfully prepared on unalloyed steel sample by LMI technology. In order to obtain in situ produced TiC reinforcement, pure titanium has been introduced to the melt pool. WC powder was added for increasing the carbon content of the layer in order to avoid the softening of the matrix (with low carbon content) during TiC formation. The present study aims to investigate the optimum amount of injected WC and Ti powder to improve wear resistance and hardness of the layer. Samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The maximum hardness of the layer has been reached ~900HV in case of 2-4wt% of titanium content. Ti has been collected all of the carbon from the matrix when titanium content was 9,6wt%, which resulted that the austenite and (Fe,W)6C phases have been disappeared. Only α-Fe and TiC phases were presented in the layer. The hardness of the layer reduced to the hardness of the base material.

In this paper, Al7075 alloy and 15 wt% VN/7075 composite were prepared by ball milling and hot-press sintering. The microstructure, hardness, and wear behavior under different working conditions (environmental condition: dry friction, sulfur-containing boundary lubrication, and oil lubrication) were studied. The results showed that the distribution of VN was dispersive and uniform in 15 wt% VN/7075 composite without obvious agglomeration. The hardness (119.5 Hv) of 15 wt% VN/7075 composite was 46.1% higher than the Al7075 alloy (81.8 Hv). Friction and wear behavior test results showed that under sulfur-containing boundary lubrication condition, according to the tribofilm layer on the worn surface of 15 wt% VN/7075 composite, the friction coefficient of 15 wt% VN/7075 composite decreased by 37.6% compared with the Al7075 alloy. The main wear mechanism of 15 wt% VN/7075 composite was delamination wear and abrasive wear under dry friction, while under sulfur-containing boundary lubrication and oil lubrication, it changed to mild abrasive wear.

Laser cladding process is used to obtain protective coatings using as heat source a laser. This melts the substrate and the feedstock material to create a protective coating and provides a strong metallurgical bond with minimal dilution of the base material and reduced heat affected zone. In the present study a commercial NiCrSiFeB composition was deposited by laser cladding process using different parameters onto the surface of a steel substrate. The obtained coatings were investigated in terms of microstructure, hardness and wear behavior. The experimental results revealed that the laser power had a considerable influence on the wear resistance of NiCrSiFeB coatings.

In the present investigation, the surface of a commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) substrate was modified to Ti/SiC nanocomposite layer employing friction stir processing technique; nanosized SiC powder was introduced into the stir zone provided by a rotating and advancing tool. The fabricated nanocomposite surface layer exhibited a micro hardness value of ~535HV which is much greater than 160HV of the substrate material using Vickers micro hardness testing. In addition, the un-treated CP-Ti substrate showed sever wear regime in the pin-on-disc test against the hardened AISI 52100 steel. It suffers extensive typical adhesive wear dominated by plastic deformation as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy. Also, deep grooves were formed, i.e. evidence of abrasive wear. Contrary to this, enhanced wear properties were detected for the Ti/SiC nanocomposite surface layer, i.e. lower coefficient of friction and weight loss. The nanocomposite surface layer was found to be adherent to the underlying substrate during the pin-on-disc test. The superior wear behavior of the nanocomposite surface layer is attributed to its improved micro hardness value due to the presence of hard nanosize SiC particles in a refined titanium matrix.

Good Thermal Stability

Polyimide (PI) composites have been widely used in a space science due to extraordinary properties, such as excellent mechanical and electrical properties, good thermal stability and chemical inertness, as well as high wear resistance. However, atomic oxygen (AO), as one of the main radiated constituents in low earth orbit, had an important influence on the structrural and tribological properties of the polyimide matrix. To investigate the mechanism of AO erosion on polyimide, MoS2/Al2O3/PI composites were fabricated by means of a hot-press molding technique and irradiated by AO in a ground-based simulation system. The chemical composition change of the irradiated surface was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then, the friction and sliding wear behavior against GCr15 steel balls were evaluated in a ground-based simulation facility using ball-on-disk tribology test rig. The worn morphologies and radiated surfaces of the materials were observed by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) to reveal the wear mechanism. Experimental analysis indicated that oxidation induced by AO irradiation and degradation of PI molecular chains on the composite’ surface results in change in chemical composition and formation of “carpet-like” structures. Affected layer, gradually formed during the process of irradiation, plays an important role for wear performance of the materials increasing friction coefficient and wear rate. Incorporation of Al2O3 nanofibers and MoS2 nanoparticles is shown to be favourable for AO resistance, which is helpful for improvement in wear resistance of the PI.

AbstractIt has been established that the wear behavior of ceramic materials can be modified through ion implantation. Studies have been done to characterize the effect of implantation on the structure and composition of ceramic surfaces. To understand how these changes affect the wear properties of the ceramic, other mechanical properties must be measured. To accomplish this, a commercially available ultra low load hardness tester has been used to characterize Al 2O3 with different implanted species and doses. The hardness of the base material is compared with the highly damaged crystalline state as well as the amorphous material.
