Investigation’s results of the surface geometric structure and tribological properties of the aluminum alloy EN AW-AlCu4MgSi(A) processed by various finishing treatments: grinding, polishing and ball burnishing are presented in the paper. The test of abrasive resistance and friction coefficient determination was carried out by usage of the T-01M tester. The tests were carried out under dry friction conditions using the ball-on-disc method. As a counter-sample, a polished Al2O3 ceramic ball with a diameter of 6 mm was used. After burnishing, comparing to grinding and polishing, an approximate twice reduction of the volume wear rate was obtained. Depending on the type of surface treatment mean friction coefficients are 0.45 after grinding, 0.34 after polishing and 0.32 after ball burnishing.

Wear tests were performed using a ball-on-disc tribological tester. In this study, 42CrMo4 steel disc of hardness 40 HRC co-acted with 100Cr6 steel ball with hardness of 60 HRC. Disc surfaces were created using vapor blasting to obtain values of the Sq parameter close to 5 µm. However, other disc surface topography parameters varied. Dry friction tests were carried out. Wear levels of discs and balls were measured using a white light interferometer Talysurf CCI Lite. It was found that the surface topography had a significant impact on tribological properties under dry sliding conditions. The research also allowed to identify significant dependencies between surface topography parameters and wear.

The paper presents mechanical and tribological properties of Al2O3/ZrO2 composite sinters with different proportions of Al2O3 and ZrO2 phases. These materials are commonly used in dry friction contact due to relatively low manufacturing costs of even complex shapes of products and the possibility of working at elevated temperatures. The tests were carried out by the ball-on-disc method at temperatures of 20, 150, 300, and 500°C. A ball made of Al2O3 was used as a counterpart. The results were compared with the following sintered mono-phase materials: Al2O3(alumina) and tetragonal yttria-stabilized ZrO2 polycrystallines (Y-TZP). The tests showed the significantly better properties of composite materials.

One of the most effective ways of shaping the operating parameters of functional elements is to modify the properties of a surface layer using modern technologies of surface engineering. The prospective directions in the development of surface engineering solutions are nanomultilayer coatings that enable effective shaping of surface layer properties. A very important factor in designing properties of PVD coatings, apart from their chemical composition, is their microstructure.The paper presents the influence of the microstructure of the nanomultilayer AlN-CrN-TiN coating on their tribological properties at elevated temperatures. The research methods were concentrated on the analysis of mechanical properties, microstructure, and tribological properties at increased temperatures. The studies on mechanical properties included tests on hardness using the nanoindentation method and tests on adhesion using the scratchtest method. The analysis of microstructure was performed using scanning microscopy. The tribological properties at high temperature were examined using the ball-on-disc method. The authors indicate that the AlN-CrN-TiN layers are characterised by excellent mechanical properties and tribological resistance. In this paper, the authors confirm that the microstructure of a nanomultilayer coating is important in shaping the mechanical and tribological properties of a PVD coating.

The main aim of the study was the evaluation of magnesium alloy surface treatment effectiveness using high-energy heat sources, i.e. a Yb-YAG Disk Laser and the GTAW method. The AZ91 and AM60 commercial magnesium alloys were subject to surface layer modification. Because of the physicochemical properties of the materials studied in case of the GTAW method, it was necessary to provide the welding stand with additional equipment. A novel two-torch set with torches operating in tandem was developed within the experiment. The effectiveness of specimen remelting using a laser and the GTAW method was verified based on macro- and microscopic examinations as well as in X-ray phase analysis and hardness measurements. In addition, the remelting parameters were optimised. The proposed treatment methodology enabled the achieving of the intended result and effective modification of a magnesium alloy surface layer.

The tribological properties of polyimide (PI) composites reinforced with graphite or MoS2 sliding in liquid alkali and water as well as dry friction were investigated using a ring-on-ring tester. The results show that the friction coefficient (μ) and wear rate (W) for both graphite/PI and MoS2/PI composites in different liquid mediums are μdry>μwater >μalkali and Wwater>Wdry >Walkali. Results also indicate that the friction coefficient and wear rate of the PI composites filled with different solid lubricants are μMoS2 >μgraphite and W MoS2 >Wgraphite in different liquid mediums. In addition, the hydrophobic inorganic fillers are fit for the reinforcement of polymer-based composites sliding in liquid mediums. It is also concluded from the authors’ work that the wear rate and friction coefficient of polymer-based (such as PI, PTFE) composites in the alkali lubricated conditions is lowest among all the friction conditions. This may be attributed to the ionic hydration in the alkaline solution.

Friction And Wear Properties

Purpose This paper aims to obtain high mechanical and good tribological properties of epoxy resin-based coatings under dry friction conditions. Design/methodology/approach Bonded solid lubricant coatings containing Kevlar fibres were prepared by a spraying method. The friction and wear properties of the coatings were experimentally investigated with a face-to-face tribometre under dry friction conditions. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and 3D laser scanning technologies were used to characterise the tribological properties. The action mechanism of the Kevlar fibres on a solid lubricant transfer film was also analysed. Findings Adding Kevlar fibres can significantly improve the wear resistance of the coatings. When the Kevlar fibre content increases, the tribological properties of the coatings improve and then worsen. Superior properties are obtained with 0.03 g of Kevlar fibres. Appropriately increasing the load or speed is beneficial to the removal of the outer epoxy resin and the formation of a lubricant film. During friction, the solid lubricants wrapped in the epoxy resin accumulate on the surface to form a transfer film that shows a good self-lubricating performance. In the later friction stage, fatigue cracks occur on the solid lubricant film but cannot connect to one another because of the high wear resistance and the entanglement of the rod-like Kevlar fibres. Thus, no large-area film falls from the matrix, thereby ensuring the long-term functioning of solid lubricant coatings. Originality/value Epoxy resin-based solid lubricant coatings modified by Kevlar fibres were prepared, and their friction and wear properties were investigated. Their tribological mechanisms were also proposed. This work provided a basis for the analysis of the tribological properties and design of bonded solid lubricant coatings containing Kevlar fibres.

Abstract In this study, modification of the AZ91 magnesium alloy surface layer with a CO2 continuous wave operation laser has been taken on. The extent and character of structural changes generated in the surface layer of the material was being assessed on the basis of both macro- and microscopy investigations, and the EDX analysis. Considerable changes in the structure of the AZ91 alloy surface layer and the morphology of phases have been found. The remelting processing was accompanied by a strong refinement of the structure and a more uniform distribution of individual phases. The conducted investigations showed that the remelting zone dimensions are a result of the process parameters, and that they can be controlled by an appropriate combination of basic remelting parameters, i.e. the laser power, the distance from the sample surface, and the scanning rate. The investigations and the obtained results revealed the possibility of an effective modification of the AZ91 magnesium alloy surface layer in the process of remelting carried out with a CO2 laser beam.
