ABSTRACTMechanically polished Ti6Al4V samples were implanted with 100 key nitrogen ions to a fluence of 5.1017 ions/cm2 at two different bulk tenneratures: 370°C and 470°C. Wear tests were carried out with a reciprocating slidina tribotester. Structural modifications and wear morphologies were studied by TEM and SEM. 370°C implanted sample showed the same wear behavior as unimplanted ones, while 470°C implanted sample showed better wear resistance because of a TiN hardened layer. Correlations- between microstructural modifications, wear behavior and mechanisms are reported: results agree with the delamination theory. Comparison with ion- and gas-nitrided samples are presented.

The aim of this work was to study the wear behavior of high-chromium white cast iron of families ASTM A-532 II (B, D) and III A, used in mining equipment, in order to establish relationships between the wear resistance, hardness and microstructure of the alloys, with the ultimate purpose of predicting their resistance to abrasion. Samples from these cast irons were subjected to mechanical wear tests by rotating drum, then their micro/macro hardness was measured and microstructure analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopy .It was found that when the macroscopic hardness differences were significant there was a strong correlation between the hardness and the loss of mass due to abrasion-impact wear. By contrast, when the alloys had similar hardness, the wear resistance was determined by morphology, size, and the distribution and connectivity of carbides and matrix and therefore was not predictable by an only simple hardness test.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-temperature aluminizing process on the microstructure and dry sliding wear properties of Mirrax steel. Low-temperature aluminizing process was applied on Mirrax steel at 600, 650, and 700 °C for 2, 4, and 6 h. The packs for the process were prepared using pure aluminum powder as aluminum deposition source. Ammonium chloride NH4Cl and Seydisehir Al2O3 powder were used as the activator and the inert filler, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were applied for characterization of the coating surfaces. The through-thickness variation in the layer microstructure was determined and it was found to vary between 1 µm and 45 µm which increased with higher process temperature and time. After the deposition process, the coating layer hardness increased to 1000 HVN, whereas the hardness of the matrix was 250 HVN. The wear tests were performed using a ball-on-disc tribometer under 5 N load at room temperature and 500 °C on aluminized and untreated Mirrax steel. In both room temperature and high-temperature wear tests, it was determined that the aluminizing process increased the wear resistance of Mirrax steel. Increasing aluminizing time and temperature also increased the wear resistance. The uncoated and thin-coated samples generally exhibited wear in the form of plastic deformation and adhesion related ruptures. A high degree of tribological layer was observed on the wear trace on samples with high coating thickness, especially in high-temperature tests. Therefore, the volume losses in these samples were induced by fatigue crack formation and delamination.

Titanium sintered alloys have a special use in the technique because they have multiple advantages. Titanium and its alloys are characterized by remarkable physic-chemical, mechanical and technological properties. However, there are several such properties that have a lower value, such as friction behavior. Titanium and its alloys are recognized as having low wear resistance. Titanium alloyed with certain elements, such as tin or graphite, can lead to alloys with improved wear properties, with the specification that graphite does not exceed 1%. The technology of manufacturing titanium-based alloys is specific to powder metallurgy, but it also has some originality by choosing special sintering cycles. The paper aims to present a tribological characterization of the sintered TiAl alloy; the method uses the disc of the alloy that has been researched in contact with an alumina ball. The paper presents a detailed analysis of the wear tests carried out for four types of specimens obtained by different methods.

Preliminary characterization of the microstructure of Al/SiCp composites prepared by Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) was analyzed, and the microhardness and wear behavior of the materials manufactured have been evaluated. It has been determined that the combined effect of the laser speed and power is decisive for the fabrication process. The microstructure characterization shows that the presence of hygroscopic Al4C3 can be avoided by adding Ti to the composite matrix. The wear behavior of the LMD samples and their microhardness have been compared with Powder Metallurgy samples with the same composition. The LMD samples showed higher hardness and wear resistance.

In this study, the wear behavior of 9SiCr steel under different treatment with plant abrasive was evaluated by using an abrasive rubber wheel tester. The samples’ microstructures were analyzed by a metallurgical microscope, the samples’ worn surface morphology was observed by using SEM.The results show that: With the increasing of hardness of sample, Its wear resistance is greatly improved. Hardness of laser quenching sample is the highest, wear resistance of it is the best, the second is sub temperature sample. The wear rates and the wear coefficients are proportional to the sliding distance. The Laser quenching samplel display a consistent behaviour with a very low wear rate and a small increase of the wear damage is observed during the abrasive wear tests. The worn surfaces of the three kind samples are characterized by the micro-cutting wear, and no treatment sample is accompanied by fatigue wear mechanism.

In the present study tribological performance of ZrN coatings deposited on hardened AISI D2 quality cold work tool steel by arc-Physical Vapor Deposition technique has been examined in as-deposited and oxidized conditions. ZrN coatings were oxidized at 400 oC for various times up to 12 h. Reciprocating wear tests carried out by rubbing Al2O3 balls on the coatings, revealed significant improvement in wear resistance of ZrN coating upon oxidation. Oxidation treatment at 400 oC for 12 h yielded seven times higher wear resistance than as-deposited ZrN coating, beside significant reduction in the wear of counterface (Al2O3 ball).

ABSTRACTTitanium and many of its alloys show very poor wear resistance considering their hardness. This together with high thermodynamic driving forces to form very hard compounds between titanium and nitrogen or carbon made titanium based alloys obvious candidates for ion implantation. In this paper the effects of similar implanted concentration profiles of nitrogen and carbon in two titanium alloys are compared. The wear behavior of pin on disk wear tests are reported along with the ultramicrohardness of the four samples.

Erbium-doped tellurite glasses show great potential for the fabrication of high-performance integrated optical amplifiers and lasers, thanks to their unique properties in terms of bandwidth and rare earth solubility. As a first step towards the development of smart multi-functional integrated optical circuits, the fabrication of multimode channel waveguides in a sodium-tungsten-tellurite glass, by using nitrogen ions implantation, has been recently demonstrated [1]. The effects of the ion implantation process, however, have not been fully clarified, and a deeper investigation would be necessary in order to optimize the process and to truly exploit the glass useful characteristics. We therefore report here the results of a broad optical, topographic, and structural characterization of tellurite samples irradiated with various doses of nitrogen ions, while keeping constant the beam energy at 1.5 MeV. Characterization techniques have included absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, modal (dark-line) spectroscopy, surface profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and EDX analysis.
