In bearing applications, the development of new materials has become a focus of scientific research in order to make bearing systems smaller and rotate more accurately. Bulk metallic glass (BMG), which has high strength, stiffness and resistance to corrosion, is becoming a promising candidate for bearing and shaft materials. When used as shafts, the friction feature of BMG needs to be evaluated comprehensively. In this work, the friction and wear properties of Ni-based, Zr-based, and Cu-based BMGs sliding against brass lubricated with lithium grease were investigated, using traditional bearing materials (GCr15 steel) as comparison. The results showed that the wear mechanism of the BMGs was primarily abrasive, supplemented by an adhesive wear behavior when sliding against brass plates, just like GCr15 steel. The wear loss of the friction pair (brass plates) increases when the applied normal load increases and the sliding speed decreases. Compared with GCr15 steel, BMGs exhibit better friction performance at low sliding speed, and Ni-based BMG always exhibits a smaller wear loss, especially under large load and low sliding speed. The wear loss of brass plates against Ni-based BMG pin is 24.3% lower than that against GCr15 steel under an applied load of 10 kg, which indicates that Ni-based BMG is an attractive bearing and shaft material for industrial application.

Abstract Alloys used as bearings in aircraft landing gear are required to reduce friction and wear as well as improve the load-carrying capability due to the increased aircraft weights. Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.8Nb alloy is well known for possessing good mechanical and wear properties that satisfy such requirements. In this study, the microstructure, mechanical properties, and grease-lubricated sliding wear behavior of Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.8Nb alloy with 0.8 wt% Nb are investigated. The nanoscale NbNi3 and NbNi2Sn compounds can strengthen the alloy through the Orowan strengthening mechanism. A Stribeck-like curve is plotted to illustrate the relationship among friction coefficient, normal load, and sliding velocity and to analyze the grease-lubricated mechanism. The wear rate increases with normal load and decreases with sliding velocity, except at 2.58 m/s. A wear mechanism map has been developed to exhibit the dominant wear mechanisms under various friction conditions. When the normal load is 700 N and the sliding velocity is 2.58 m/s, a chemical reaction between the lubricating grease and friction pairs occurs, resulting in the failure of lubricating grease and an increase in wear.

In order to search for new wear resistant materials used as drilling tools and improve the service life and drilling efficiency, the 7Cr7Mo2V2Si steel was prepared and its abrasive wear behavior and mechanisms were studied under both dry and water wear conditions. The research results show that the wear losses of the 7Cr7Mo2V2Si steel increase with the increase of normal load and sliding speed at both of dry and water wear conditions. The wear losses become greatly increase at high sliding speed and heavy normal load wear conditions. The wear rates of the 7Cr7Mo2V2Si steel at water wear conditions are bigger than those at dry wear conditions. The existence of water will aggravate the wear loss of the steel because water can clean the tribo-interface by taking away the fine powder or debris, which may keep the corundum abrasives protruding and remaining sharp edge state to produce more serious two-body abrasive wear to the steel, and meanwhile the collaborative action of the friction stress and the corrosion may result in stress corrosive wear of the steel. The main wear mechanisms of the 7Cr7Mo2V2Si steel are micro-cutting wear, multi-plastic deformation wear at dry wear conditions and accompanied with stress corrosive wear at water wear conditions.

Friction and wear processes of AgCuX ( G , CF and AlN ) composites- CuAgV alloy friction pair and effects of different additive content in silver based composite on friction and wear behavior are studied in this paper. The microstructure of the brush wear surface is observed by SEM. The results show that when graphite content is up to 9 wt.%, Ag - Cu - CF - G composite exhibits the best wear properties; when the content of aluminum nitride is up to 0.5 wt.%, Ag - Cu - AlN - G composites has the most comprehensive performance. The wear loss of both composites arises with the increase of both pressure and speed, but when speed reaches a critical value, the increased amplitude of wear loss tends to be steady.

The paper assesses and compares the friction and wear behavior of SAE-AISI 1055 steel and brass (CuZn39Pb2) under dry sliding condition. The tribological behavior was investigated and compared by conducting two different experiments, the first experiment conducted on a CSM tribometer, and the second experiment was carried out on a test bench in horizontal lathe machine where device holder pin is fabricated and mounted on a test bench and a rotating disc, varying the normal load exert on the disc by the pin and the rotation speed of the disc. These tests consisted of measuring friction coefficient and wear loss of samples. Experiments are carried out in normal load 5-10 N, sliding speed 0.24-0.35 and 0.48 m/s. Variations of coefficient of friction during sliding at different initial surface roughness, normal load and sliding speed are investigated. Results show that the two alloys had different friction and wear behavior, for steel friction coefficient increase slowly with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. For brass friction coefficient decreases with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. On the other hand, it is also found that wear loss increase with sliding distance. Microscopic of worn surfaces for each alloy were carried out and compared.

The present work was primarily conducted to study the wear behavior of as-received and severely deformed Al-15%Mg2Si in situ composites. The severe plastic deformation was applied using accumulative back extrusion (ABE) technique (one and three passes). The continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) was recognized as the main strain accommodation and grain refinement mechanism within aluminum matrix during ABE cycles. To investigate the wear properties of the processed material, the dry sliding wear tests were carried out on both the as-received and processed samples under normal load of 10 and 20 N at room temperature, 100 °C, and 200 °C. The results indicated a better wear resistance of processed specimens in comparison to the as-received ones at room temperature. In addition, the wear performance was improved as the ABE pass numbers increased. These were related to the presence of oxide tribolayer. At 100 °C, the as-received material exhibited a better wear performance compared to the processed material; this was attributed to the formation of a work-hardened layer on the worn surface. At 200 °C, both the as-received and processed composites experienced a severe wear condition. In general, elevating the temperature changed the dominant wear mechanism from oxidation and delamination at room temperature to severe adhesion and plastic deformation at 200 °C.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the delamination wear properties of a carbon strip in a carbon strip rubbing against a copper wire at the high-sliding speed (380 km/h) with or without electrical current. Design/methodology/approach The friction and wear properties of a carbon strip in a carbon strip rubbing against a copper wire are tested on the high-speed wear tester whose speed can reach up to 400 km/h. The test data have been collected by the high-speed data collector. The worn surfaces of the carbon strip are observed by the scanning electron microscope. Findings It was found that there was a significant increase of the delamination wear with the decrease of the normal load when the electric current is applied. The size of the flake-like peeling also increases with the decrease of normal load. The delamination wear extends gradually from the edge of the erosion pits to the surrounding area with the decrease of the normal load. However, the delamination wear never appears in the absence of electric current. It is proposed that the decreased normal load and the big electrical current are the major causes of the delamination wear of the carbon strip. Originality value The experimental test at high-sliding speed of 380 km/h was performed for the first time, and the major cause of the delamination was discovered in this paper.

To guarantee the smooth operation of trains, rail grinding and wheel turning are necessary practices to remove surface defects. Surface integrity of machined wheel/rail materials is significant to affect their tribological performance. In this paper, firstly, the wheel specimens were turned by a CNC lathe and the rail specimens were ground by a cylindrical grinding machine with various machining parameters. Then, the wear and damage behavior of the machined wheel/rail discs was systematically investigated via a twin-disc wear testing apparatus under dry rolling-sliding condition. The experimental results show that the surface hardness of rail discs after machining is slightly higher than that of wheel discs, while the surface roughness and plastic deformation layer of wheel discs are much larger than those of rail discs. The surface hardness increase degree of rail discs and their thickness of plastic deformation layer are greater than those of wheel discs after the rolling-sliding test. The wear loss of wheel discs is much larger than that of rail discs. Surface roughness, hardness and plastic deformation layer of wheel/rail discs after machining exert a comprehensive effect on the wear behavior, and friction pair with appropriate original surface hardness and roughness generates the smallest amount of wear loss.

The friction and wear properties of several common metal materials (45#, 25CrMn, and 40CrNiMo) friction pair under oil lubrication was investigated on M-200 Type wear tester, and studied the friction under the condition of differ sliding speed and pressure. The results show that: the 25CrMn/45# steel pair has better tribological and wear performance; the load is the main factor which influences the friction of the material at the low sliding speed; the main wear form is adhesive wear, but the wear mechanism is gradually became from adhesive wear to abrasive wear and flaking wear with the contact pressure and sliding speed increased.

The present study deals with the wear data analysis of high carbon steels to investigate the relationship between the operating variables and the heat treatment. The steel selected was 1095 in the AISI standard which is equivalent to C105W1 in the German standard. The wear studies were carried out by using pin on disc apparatus at room temperature in dry sliding. The wear data were carried out based on an experimental design (24 factorial design ) following by analysis of variance method (ANOVA) to examine the main effect of sliding velocity, normal load, sliding distance, heat treatment, and their interactions on wear behavior. The results show that severe deformation of annealed and quenched 1095 steels on the contact surface was responsible for high wear loss at high normal loads and low sliding velocities. At high normal load and low sliding velocity, severe wear by oxidative-metallic was main mechanism and at low normal load for the same sliding velocity, mild wear by oxidative was main mechanism. The ANOVA results show that the operating variables have more significant effect on wear loss than that of heat treatment.

ABSTRACTA comparative study of the microtribological properties of native oxide covered single crystal silicon and silicon coated with atomic layer deposited (ALD) alumina films is presented. The dry friction and wear behavior were investigated using a novel microelectromechanical system (MEMS) tribotester. The coefficient of friction for alumina coated surfaces and for silicon uncoated surfaces was monitored before and after wear. The friction versus normal load curves of uncoated silicon can be described by a Johnson-Kendall-Roberts model with pressure dependent shear strength while for the alumina coated surfaces, a linear dependence between the friction force and the normal load was found. Both uncoated silicon surfaces and alumina coated surfaces showed a decrease of the friction force with the number of sliding cycles.
