Abstract Gas atomized Al63Cu25Fe12 powders of varying size fractions were plasma sprayed to study the relationships between coating microstructure and tribological behavior. After spraying, annealing was performed on one of the coatings. Abrasion and sliding wear tests were performed on the coatings. The results indicate a correlation between the abrasion resistance and hardness of the coatings. Furthermore, sliding wear tests reveal lower coefficients of friction for the as-sprayed coatings compared to the annealed coatings.

Recent investigations have shown that SbSbS4 is a promising solid lubricant. It exhibits outstanding extreme pressure (EP) performance, and good antiwear behavior under laboratory test conditions. An investigation was undertaken to identify the mechanism by which SbSbS4 functioned when used as a lubricant in the dry powder form and as an additive to oils and greases. Friction and wear behavior of SbSbS^ was investigated using several different wear tests carried out in air at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 500°C.

In the present study, the tribological behavior of polyaryletherketones (PAEKs) and their composites was investigated in air and vacuum environment. Polymer matrices were filled with either glass or carbon fibers and compared with a standard bearing material containing 10% carbon fiber (CF), 10% graphite, and 10% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The samples were tested in a pin-on-disk configuration under continuous sliding against a rotating steel disk (AISI 52100) at different sliding speeds. The results indicated that the tribological performance of these materials in vacuum depends on both compositions and test conditions. At low sliding speed, a very low friction and wear coefficients were obtained while at higher speed, severe wear occurred. In particular, CF filled composites showed excessive wear that led to the ignition after opening the vacuum chamber. Experimental results are discussed by analyzing the transfer film and wear debris.

This paper summarizes the friction and wear behavior of some fluoride-metal, self-lubricating composites. Fluoride-infiltrated sintered nickel alloy composites and plasma-sprayed, co-deposited fluoride-nickel alloy composites are described. The importance of proper surface-conditioning of the composites is stressed. Performance of fluoride-metal composites in some machine application evaluations is discussed.

AbstractThe influence of grain orientation on the friction and wear behavior of single-phase quasicrystalline alloys is investigated. Pin-on-disc wear tests and friction coefficient measurements have been performed on bulk samples of icosahedral phase AlPdMn and decagonal phase AlNiCo alloys. Wear behavior has been evaluated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). Coefficient of friction values of the decagonal AlNiCo alloy are found to be widely scattered (between 0.03 and 0.55) compared to the far more consistent values of the icosahedral alloys. This is explained by considering the significant variation in wear behavior that is observed between different – sometimes adjacent – oriented grains in the decagonal specimens.
