The current work is an attempt to reduce friction coefficient of the treated betelnut fibre reinforced polyester (T-BFRP) composites by aging them in twelve different solutions with different kinematic viscosities. The test will be performed on a pin on disc (POD) wear test rig using different applied loads (5–30 N), different sliding distances (0–6.72 km) at sliding speed of 2.8 m/s subjected to a smooth stainless steel counterface (AISI-304). Different orientations of the fibre mats such as anti-parallel (AP) and parallel (P) orientations subjected to the rotating counterface will be considered. The worn surfaces were examined through optical microscopy imaging and it was found that the aged specimens had significantly lower damages as compared to neat polyester (NP) and the unaged samples. Besides, P-O samples revealed lower friction coefficients as compared to AP-O, i.e., reduction was about 24.71%. Interestingly, aging solutions with lower kinematic viscosities revealed lower friction coefficients of the aged T-BFRP composites when compared to the ones aged in higher kinematic viscosities.

AISI 304 stainless steel categorized under austenitic, has good resistance to corrosion and applicable for high resistance to pitting and stresses. But it has poor hardness, sterngth and resistance to wear. In order to overcome the above problem, various hardening techniques like nitriding, carburizing, carbonitriding, Cyaniding etc are preferred. In this work, aqueous soluted nitriding process is carried out to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance on AISI 304 specimens. Three specimens in cylindrical shape with a diameter of 10mm and length 35mm are treated with salt bath nitriding process for a time period of 45 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes and named as SBN 1, SBN 2, SBN 3 respectively. One specimen is kept untreated to compare the results with treated specimens. After the heat treatment procedure is completed, pin on disc wear testing instrument was used to conduct a wear test at a constant speed and load. All the specimens were subjected to Scanning Electron Microscope test and the results were compared.

The paper presents the results of investigations into the mechanical properties and tribological characteristics of 316 LVM processed by hydrostatic extrusion (HE). The mechanical properties were characterized by microhardness measurements and compression tests. The wear properties were investigated using a pin-on-disc tribometer under dry and lubricated conditions. The friction coefficient was measured as a function of the time of the wear test. The results indicate that the hydrostatic extrusion process significantly improves the mechanical properties and the wear resistance of 316 LVM stainless steel. The results are discussed in terms of the microstructural changes induced during processing by hydrostatic extrusion.

This paper examines the relation between friction/wear and different types of steel materials under different normal loads and sliding velocities and to explore the possibility of adding controlled normal load and sliding velocity to a mechanical process. In order to do so, a pin on disc apparatus is designed and fabricated. Experiments are carried out when different types of disc materials such as stainless steel 304 (SS 304), stainless steel 316 (SS 316) and mild steel slide against stainless steel 304 (SS 304) pin. Variations of friction coefficient with the duration of rubbing at different normal loads and sliding velocities are investigated. Results show that friction coefficient varies with duration of rubbing, normal load and sliding velocity. In general, friction coefficient increases for a certain duration of rubbing and after that it remains constant for the rest of the experimental time. The obtained results reveal that friction coefficient decreases with the increase in normal load for all the tested materials. It is also found that friction coefficient increases with the increase in sliding velocity for all the materials investigated. Moreover, wear rate increases with the increase in normal load and sliding velocity. At identical operating condition, the magnitudes of friction coefficient and wear rate are different for different materials depending on sliding velocity and normal load.

AbstractRoom-temperature 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (IL) reduces friction and wear of epoxy resin/AISI 316L stainless steel contacts when used as neat external lubricant. In order to study the internal lubricant performance of IL, variable concentration epoxy+IL dispersions containing 0.5-3.3 wt.% IL were obtained by mechanical mixing and casting. SEM cryofracture and EDS show dispersed rounded IL particles within the epoxy matrix. The new dispersions have slightly lower Tg and hardness values than the unmodified resin. Fracture modes and tensile strength are similar for epoxy and epoxy+2.7%IL, although the elongation at break reduces in presence of IL. Pin-on-disc tests show that dry friction coefficients decrease exponentially as the IL proportion increases and wear resistance improves in several orders of magnitude for a critical IL concentration of 2.7 wt.%. Wear mechanisms are discussed on the basis of SEM and AFM observations. The surface modification of the new dispersions gives lower static and dynamic friction coefficients when sliding against steel or polytetrafluoroethylene sheets under mild conditions.

This project investigates on salt bath nitriding process in order to improve the wear behavior of the material. This process increases the hardness of the material. The specimens were nitrided at 580°c on three different timing hours such as 60 minutes, 90 minutes & 120 minutes. A pin on disc machine is used to conduct wear test, so that wear loss can be determined. The specimens are to be magnified by metallographic test like scanning electron microscope. The untreated specimen is used to compare with the nitrided specimen. The best specimen is chosen which determines the life of material & improves the better wear resistance. The hardness of untreated material and nitrided material are compared. The material AISI stainless steel has many unique properties but it lacks wear resistance and hardness because of which it has limited applications. By conducting heat treatment operation, the hardness of the material does not improve, but by conducting case hardening process the hardness of the outer case will be high compared to base metal. If the hardness and wear resistance of the material improves the material can be used in wide range of applications.

The friction coefficient in the simulation of stamping processes should be defined. Modern simulation software allows its definition as constant or its dependence on pressure or temperature. It is also useful in stamping processes to define different values in different regions, as it often reflects the nature of deformation process. This article deals with the regression and analytical models commonly used to determine the friction coefficients in specified areas of the stamping process. Analytical models were verified by an experimental strip drawing test under the same contact conditions. Steel sheets for the automotive industry were used in experiments and simulations—extra deep drawing quality DC 05 and austenitic stainless steel AISI 304. Friction coefficients were also evaluated when the cup test was performed. A regression model of drawing to the blankholding force was applied to the results. Conformity of friction coefficients when measured by cup tests and strip tests was confirmed. The values of the friction coefficient reached from the experiment were applied in FEM simulation software.

The Duplex stainless steel AISI 2205 is well known for its corrosion resistance, applicable to high pitting and stress resistance. Cryogenic treatment is chosen to boost the mechanical properties of AISI 2205 Stainless Steel. The specimens undergo cryogenic treatment, one of them being treated to the saturated limit. For comparison purpose, one specimen is kept as untreated. Wear test will be conducted at a constant speed and variable load by a pin on disc wear testing apparatus. Wear test is completed to assess the capability of utilizing a specific surface building innovation to diminish wear for a particular application and to research the impact of treatment conditions on the wear execution, so upgraded surface treatment conditions can be figured it out. Eventually, all specimens were undergone with Scanning Electron Microscope analysis.

The present work is aimed to experimentally determine the mechanical properties such as Rockwell Hardness Number (RHN), tensile strength and two parameters of Weibull distribution curve (i.e. Weibull shape and characteristic life parameters) of fatigue life for the Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (PTFE) material. The ultimate stress of PTFE specimen is determined using tensometer and its shape parameter and characteristic life are determined from rotary test bending machine. The PTFE specimen is also tested for wear and friction performance on pin-on-disc test rig. Based on the hardness test, RHN of PTFE was found to be 57 and its ultimate engineering stress was observed to be 20.5N/mm2. The Weibull shape parameter and characteristic life of PTFE specimen were observed to be 13.33 and 6734.5 cycles respectively. From the wear test result the sliding speed was found to have maximum influence on wear volume followed by sliding distance where as the load has least influence. .

Using laser cladding method, the coating of Fe-Mn-Si shape memory materials (SMM) was prepared on the surface of AISI 304 stainless steel. The microstructure and microhardness of SMM laser cladding coating were measured by using a metallographic microscope and a scanning electron microscope, respectively. The phase composition was determined by X-ray diffraction. The wear resistance was evaluated on a high speed reciprocating friction tester. The results show that microhardness of the SMM coating is about Hv263, higher than that of the substrate (Hv225); the SMM coating is composed of ε-martensite and γ-austenite phases; the average friction coefficient of the substrate and SMM coating is about 0.85 and 0.71; the SMM laser cladding coating is of excellent wear resistance validated by friction coefficient, worn-out appearance and wear loss.
