Parquet flooring is one of the most common types of flooring, the surface of which can be covered with various coatings. To avoid possible damage to the parquet during use, it is necessary to test the surfaces before installation according to various non-standard and standard protocols. The present study provides an overview of the interactions between the properties of selected waterborne coatings (solids content, hardness, resistance to cracking, tensile strength) and the properties of oak wood flooring surfaces (dry film thickness, coating adhesion, resistance to scratching, impact, abrasion and cold liquids). The tests conducted showed that the performance of the surface systems was highly dependent on the coating formulations, as they were either one- or two-component systems. Although no major differences in surface resistance to cold liquids were found, there was a correlation between coating thickness, hardness and tensile strength. The harder coatings had higher tensile strengths and lower elongations. The coatings with higher tensile strength and better hardness achieved better adhesion properties. The coatings that exhibited ductile behavior showed the worst scratch resistance. A statistically significant relationship was found between the higher resistance of the flooring systems to impact stress and the improved abrasion resistance. The obtained results provide potential end users of surface coatings with valuable information on the quality that can be expected in wood flooring.

In this study, the effects of ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technology on the tribological properties and scratch-induced adhesion behavior of a heat-resistant KHR 45A steel cracking tube, which is used for the pyrolysis process, were investigated. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of pre- and post-carburizing UNSM treatment on the tribological and adhesion performances of carburized domestic KHR 45A (A) steel and to compare the results with the existing carburized Kubota-made KHR 45A steel (B). A carburizing process was carried out on the polished and UNSM-treated KHR 45A steel substrates, which were cut out from the cracking tube, at 300 °C heat exposure for 300 h. The thickness of the carburizing layer was about 10 μm. UNSM technology was applied as pre- and post-carburizing surface treatment; both reduced the friction coefficient and wear rate compared to that of the carburized KHR 45A steel substrate. It was also found that the application of UNSM technology increased the critical load, which implies the improvement of adhesion behavior between the carburizing layer and the KHR steel substrate. The application of UNSM technology as pre- and post-carburizing surface treatment could help replace carburized Kubota-made KHR 45A steel (B) thanks to the improved tribological performance, enhanced scratch resistance, load bearing capacity, and adhesion of domestic KHR 45A (A) steel.

Aramid/Al2O3/epoxy resin laminated composites were fabricated using ultrasonic mixing and casting technique. This novo material could be exhibited to the ideal mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, hardness, flexural strength and lightweight which may be used to replace metal parts in vehicles. Moreover, Al2O3 powder was mixed to epoxy resin to improve the scratch resistance. To improve the bending force and interaction between Al2O3 powder phase and epoxy resin phase, the ultrasonic mixing was used for fabricating these laminate composites. The physicals and mechanical properties such as density, hardness, impact test, wear resistance and tensile strength of the composites samples were investigated. It was found that the amounts of percent by volume of the Al2O3 have affected the properties of the laminated composites. Furthermore, microstructures of specimens were also investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). From the results, SEM images showed good distribution and adhesion between reinforced phase and epoxy resin matrix phase.

Adhesion Properties

Scratch test is one of widely used, fast, and effective methods to obtain the critical loads that are related to adhesion properties of coatings. The determination of adhesion and the scratch resistance is essential for the mechanical characterization of surface layers for research and industry. To evaluate the performance of coatings the scratch test with a Rockwell-C diamond stylus as indenter is a commonly used test for the characterization of hard coatings on predominant metallic substrates due to its comparatively robust experimental setup, the easy use and the representative results. This is the only technique capable of imaging such interface defects which are due to the stressin duced by the scratch experiment.This paper aims to characterize the adhesion and scratch resistance using Millennium200 - Technical Tribo equipment of Ti layer deposited on steel surfaces by means of TIG/WIG welding technique. Ensuring appropriate functional properties of WIG welding coatings (Ti) requires a good compatibility with the substrate material (S235). For this reason was used to deposit titanium WIG welding an intermediary layer of copper, obtained in the same experimental conditions. The optimal selection of the coating material takes into consideration the metallurgical, mechanical and process technology compatibility. The mechanical properties of coatings must match the substrate. From this point of view, maintaining a high corrosion resistance is mainly conditioned by achieving a good adhesion and a microstructure free of internal cracks or other defects.

Abstract Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatments can be used to improve certain properties of underutilized wood species, especially those with low densities. These treatments densify the wood by softening the cell walls using heat, pressure, and moisture but are subject to set-recovery (recovery of compressive deformation) when exposed to humidity. Phenol-based resins have been successful in mitigating this issue when impregnated into the wood. This work explores the use of a new phenol-based resin combined with a THM treatment to limit set-recovery and produce products with the potential for flooring applications. Scratch resistance, hardness, and glue-line shear strength were used to assess the performance. The THM treatment and impregnated phenol resin used in this study increased the scratch resistance, density, and hardness of natural poplar wood and created satisfactory bonding conditions for flooring purposes. With optimization of THM parameters and resin solids content, the resulting product could provide a high-quality flooring material used alone or as a thin laminate from a low-density species like poplar.

Effect of wood preservatives (waterborne and organicborne) on the performance of surface finishing properties is investigated. Sapwood of scots pine, (Pinus sylvestrisL.), oriental beech (Fagus orientalisLipsky), and chestnut (Castanea sativaMill.) specimens (300 × 100 × 15 mm along the grain) were impregnated with aqueous solution of 2% CCA, 2% Tanalith E, 1% boric acid, and Immersol aqua. Surface roughness, dry film thickness, adhesion strength, gloss measurement, scratch, and abrasion resistance were determined according to related standards for treated and untreated samples. The results indicated that surface roughness and adhesion strength depended on wood species and the chemical composition of preservatives. Generally, waterborne wood preservatives increased the surface roughness of wood while the organic-based wood preservatives decreased it. The organic-based wood preservatives decreased adhesion but they increased gloss value. Wood preservatives did not affect the scratch resistance which was found to depend on properties of the coating. All the wood preservatives increased abrasion resistance.

Effects of h-BN particles on mechanical properties and adhesion of semi-crystalline poly (ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) coatings were studied. PEEK powder was mixed with various contents of h-BN nanoparticle in ethanol under ultrasonic mixing. As-mixed powders were sprayed onto low carbon steel substrate with thermal spray technique. The hardness, scratch hardness, specific scratch wear rate, prevailing deformation mechanisms and adhesion were obtained from scratch tests by varying the applied load. The damage geometry on scratched polymer surfaces and scratch wear volume loss were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and surface profilometer, respectively. The results indicated that the addition of h-BN content improved the hardness of the composite. In addition, the specific scratch wear rate and the adhesion between PEEK coatings and substrate decreased with increasing h-BN content. The poor adhesion resulted from the reductions of flow-ability and viscosity between PEEK and substrate caused by heat dissipation from the h-BN particles.

This paper presents the potential benefits of using nanopolyacrylate (NP) and nanocomposite (NC) polymers as modified binders in SMA mixtures. The optimum binder content of the SMA control mix was designed using PG76 binder and Modified Lottman test (AASHTO T283) was used to determine the stripping performance. A total of six (6) SMA modified mix were prepared using NP and NC modified binder formulations at 2%, 4% and 6%. Results from tensile strength test showed that SMA-NC6 have the highest IDT (521kPa) followed by SMA-NP6 (511 kPa), SMA-Control (500 kPa), SMA-NC4 (449kPa), SMA-NC2 (403kPa) and SMA-NP2 (379kPa). The stripping test on both control and modified SMA mixtures showed that TSR values for all the mix pass the 80 percent limit which fulfils the AASTHO T283 standard requirement and are therefore least susceptible to stripping. Based on the tensile strength test results and stripping performance, it was found that the addition of NC and NP modified binder demonstrate great potential in SMA mixtures showing significantly improved cohesion as well as adhesion properties of the binder. The results from this study found that all the SMA mix are resistance to moisture damage which could sustain the load from vehicles and exposed to severe condition without large degradation of the structure.

In this paper, the influence of paraffinic oil on the physical mechanical, thermal and adhesion properties of three blends of EPDM Buna EP T.6465, Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D and CIIR have been investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength values and elongation at break of keltan 5260Q/CIIR and keltan 6160 D/CIIR with 10 wt.% paraffinic oil represent the improvement of 57.8%, 57.6% and 71% to 81% respectively, compared with one without oil. The mean peel force of EPDM keltan 6260D with 10% oil loaded is about 36% and 32.5% higher than that of EPDM keltan 5260Q and EP.T 6465 blends respectively. With suitable oil content, in this case is 10% wt., the thermal resistance of keltan 5260 Q and 6160D seems to be higher than that of without processing oil and suitable for thermal resistance rubber application.

An optimization of a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process parameter is currently investigated for producing a dissimilar SS400/SUS304 steels joint because a requirement of a sound joint with higher tensile strength. A gas shielding type is one of the important parameter because it could produce a good arc, protect the weld pool from atmosphere and so on. So, this research work aimed to study an effect of the shielding gas type on the mechanical properties of the dissimilar SS400/SUS304 steels butt joint. A relation between microstructure and the mechanical properties of the butt joint was also investigated and compared. The summarized results are as follows. The optimized shielding gas that produced a maximum tensile stregnth of 550 MPa was 95%Ar+5%N2. Nitrogen gas that mixed to the shielding gas affected to decrease dendrite size and to increase the hardness and tensile strength of weld metal. Fracture characteristic of the joint produced by N2 mixed gas showed a larger deformation at the location that was closely the fracture location that implied a ductile behavior. The dissimilar SUS304/SS400 metals joint showed a low hardness base metal, a higher hardness interface and a highest hardness weld metal.
