Excellent wear resistance of alumina ceramics is a desirable quality for many products. The purpose of this work was to improve the wear resistance of 99% alumina ceramics in an Al2O3–Gd2O3–SiO2–CaO–MgO (AGSCM) system. The content of Gd2O3 varied from 0.01% to 1%. A test of wear rate was performed in a ball milling apparatus in a water environment according to the Chinese industry standard. The compositions and microstructure of this material, as well as the effect of bulk density on wear rate, were studied. The effect of Gd2O3 on phases, grain growth mode, and grain boundary cohesion was investigated. It was found that Gd2O3 could refine grain size, form compressive stress of the grain boundary, and promote the crystallization of CaAl12O19. The wear rate of this material was as low as 0.00052‰ (the Chinese industry standard wear rate is ≤0.15‰). The mechanisms for wear resistance of AGSCM ceramics were also determined.

Wear behaviour of nanocrystalline Fe88Si12alloy has been investigated in water environment compared with the coarse grained counterpart. The friction coefficient of the Fe88Si12alloy changes slightly with the grain size. The wear resistance is enhanced as the grain size decreases first and then reduces when the grain size continues to decrease, although the hardness of the Fe88Si12alloy decreases monotonically with the grain size. It is contrary to the predications of Archard’s formula. The best wear resistance of Fe88Si12alloy with grain size of 40 nm in our present work is attributed to the proper grain boundary volume fraction and composite phase structures of disordered B2 and ordered D03.

Worn Surfaces

The wear resistances of four standard-grade high-alumina ceramics were evaluated and related to their machining ability. Three of the material grades contained 96% of alumina and 4% of either calcium silicate, or magnesium silicate, or manganese titanate in the starting-powder composition. The nominal alumina content in the fourth material was 99.7%. The specimens were fabricated using a low-pressure injection-molding forming technique, followed by thermal de-binding and sintering. After sintering the four materials differ significantly in their grain size, bending strength and Vickers hardness. No direct relationship between the microstructural parameters and the mechanical properties was found, but there was a grain-size dependence of the surface finish after grinding under industrial conditions. The two silicate-containing ceramics exhibited considerably higher wear resistances than the two silicate-free ceramics, but no direct relationship between the abrasive wear rate during grinding and the cutting time was observed. The cutting ability represents a valuable material characteristic for industrial practice, but it should not be directly used for predicting the wear rate during grinding. Quantitative differences in the cutting time and abrasive wear rate were manifested in the different topographies of the worn surfaces. Cutting resulted in relatively large area fractions of plastically deformed surfaces, whereas pullouts dominated the worn surfaces after grinding.

Carburizing Process

To improve the fracture strength and wear resistance of WC-Co cemented carbide, various technologies have been developed related producing the nano crystalline. There have been extensive studied conducted to retard grain growth during liquid phase sintering. However, when this inhibitor is added by simple mixing, a micro-pores forms during sintering In this study, WC-Co nanocrystalline powders with grain growth inhibitor in the site were prepared by MTP (Mechano-Thermic carburizing Process) to minimize this formation of micro pores and to retard grain growth effectively during sintering. In addition, then the phase and grain size of WC-Co nanocrystalline powders were evaluated according to the condition of MTP.

ABSTRACTThe thermal stability of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni-1.2%P and Ni-0.12%S alloys is evaluated by in-situ electron microscopy studies. Isothermal grain size versus annealing time curves at 573K and 623K show an unexpected thermal stabilization in form of a transition from rapid initial grain growth to negligible grain growth. This behaviour is discussed in terms of the various grain boundary drag mechanisms which may be operative in these alloys.

In order to investigate the effect of WC grain size on coatings’ properties and abrasive wear performance, a few WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni coatings with three different WC grain sizes were deposited by the high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. The phase compositions, microstructures, and mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated. Furthermore, the two- and three-body abrasive wear performances of the three coatings were tested by using SiC and SiO2 abrasives, respectively. The results show that all the three coatings were composed of WC, Cr3C2, and the Ni binder as well as the (W,Cr)2C phase. The abrasive wear resistance of the WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni coating monotonously increased with increasing WC grain size when the SiC abrasive was used in the two- and three-body abrasive wear tests. However, the wear resistance trend was reversed when the SiO2 abrasive was used in the three-body abrasive wear test. The specific wear rate of the WC-20Cr3C2-7Ni coating exposed to the SiC abrasive under the two-body abrasive wear test was the largest. The wear resistance of the coatings was more significantly affected by the hardness of the abrasive particles than the size of carbides present within the coating. The high hardness of SiC can cut both the carbide and the binder phase of the WC-based cermet coatings, resulting in a high wear rate, whereas the low hardness of SiO2 cuts and/or scratches the binder initially, and then it dislodges the carbides from the matrix. The dislodged carbides which were subsequently pulled out from the matrix by the repeated impact of the SiO2 abrasives result in a milder wear rate.

Pinning Effect

The properties of alloys depend on its microstructure, such as the size of grains. In general, the balanced mechanical properties of alloys can be obtained with small grain size. While the grain size of alloys may increases under heat treatment, thermal mechanical processing and service condition of high temperature, i.e., the grain growth is inevitable. The effort of most research is to control the rate of grain growth and avoid abnormal grain growth. For example, pinning the grain boundary and reduce its mobility with the second phase particles in order to prevent grain growth. Therefore, the properties of the alloys will not decreases dramatically and the structure retains a high degree of integrity. The details of grain growth with particle pinning were investigated by phase field simulations in the present paper. It is found that, with the same size of pinning particles, the pinning effect increases with the increases of the pinning particle number. With the same pinning particle number, the pinning effect increases with the increases of pinning particle size. Under the same total volume of pinning particles while different particle size and number, the pinning effect is complicated and it will be discussed in details. The pinning effect decreases with the increases of grain boundary energy. These findings could shed light on the understanding of the grain growth kinetics with particle pinning.

Abstract This review focuses on grain growth behaviors and the underlying mechanisms of bulk electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel and nickel-iron alloys. Effects of some important factors on grain growth are described. During thermal-induced grain growth process, grain boundary migration plays a key role. For similar thermal conditions, due to grain boundary mobility with solute drag, limited grain growth occurs in nanocrystalline alloys, as compared to pure metals. Nonetheless, in the case of stress-induced grain growth process, there are a variety of mechanisms in samples having various deformation histories. As an example the grain growth of nanocrystalline nickel and Ni-20%Fe alloy with nearly the same grain-size distribution and average grain size is compared in this paper. Thermal analysis indicates nanocrystalline nickel is much more prone to rapid grain growth than nanocrystalline Ni-20%Fe alloy. Nevertheless, grain growth of nanocrystalline Ni-20%Fe is found to be more pronounced than nanocrystalline nickel during rolling deformation.

In this paper, the effect of grain boundary energy in AZ31 Mg alloy with multi-order parameters phenomenological phase field model has been discussed during the progress of recrystallization. The average grain size of the recrystallization grain at a certain temperature and a certain restored energy but various grain boundary energies have been studied, and the simulated results show that the larger the grain boundary energy is, the larger the average grain size will be, and the speed of grain growth will increase with the increase of grain boundary energy. Additionally, temperature will also increase the grain growth rate.
