AbstractThe problems of the creation of composite polymer-based materials with the use of nanosized molybdenum and tungsten fillers with the particle size of less than 10 nm are considered. The copolymer of formaldehyde and dioxolane (CFD) and the polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) are chosen as polymeric matrixes. A comparative analysis of the tribological properties of composite materials with fine nanosized fillers (5-10 nm) and nanosized analogues (100-200) is made. It is determined that the use of nanosized isotropic structure Mo fillers leads to improved wear-resistance up to three times for CFD-based composites and up to four times for PPS-based. The highest hardness values were observed while using isotropic nanosized tungsten fillers. The nanosized crystalline fillers also give positive results, but the bigger sized fillers decrease the polymer hardness characteristics comparatively nanosize isotropic analogues.

Friction and wear contribute to high energetic losses that reduce the efficiency of mechanical systems. However, carbon alloyed transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD-C) coatings possess low friction coefficients in diverse environments and can self-adapt to various sliding conditions. Hence, in this investigation, a semi-industrial magnetron sputtering device, operated in direct current mode (DC), is utilized to deposit several molybdenum-selenium-carbon (Mo-Se-C) coatings with a carbon content up to 60 atomic % (at. %). Then, the carbon content influence on the final properties of the films is analysed using several structural, mechanical and tribological characterization techniques. With an increasing carbon content in the Mo-Se-C films, lower Se/Mo ratio, porosity and roughness appeared, while the hardness and compactness increased. Pin-on-disk (POD) experiments performed in humid air disclosed that the Mo-Se-C vs. nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) friction is higher than Mo-Se-C vs. steel friction, and the coefficient of friction (CoF) is higher at 25 °C than at 200 °C, for both steel and NBR countersurfaces. In terms of wear, the Mo-Se-C coatings with 51 at. % C showed the lowest specific wear rates of all carbon content films when sliding against steel. The study shows the potential of TMD-based coatings for friction and wear reduction sliding against rubber.

This paper presents a facile and effective method for preparing Ni/NbSe2 composites in order to improve the wettability of NbSe2 and copper matrix, which is helpful in enhancing the friction-reducing and anti-wear properties of copper-based composites. The powder metallurgy (P/M) technique was used to fabricate copper-based composites with different weight fractions of Ni/NbSe2, and tribological properties of composites were evaluated by using a ball-on-disk friction-and-wear tester. Results indicated that tribological properties of copper-based composites were improved by the addition of Ni/NbSe2. In particular, copper-based composites containing 15 wt.% Ni/NbSe2 showed the lowest friction coefficient (0.16) and wear rate (4.1 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1) among all composites.

The high strength of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) indicates promising properties for industry applications to reduce frictional coefficient and improve mechanical properties, yet few researches have referred to its structural morphology on the thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties of composites. In this work, three different lengths of MWCNTs were used to prepare polyether ether ketone (PEEK) composites and investigate the effect of structural morphology of MWCNTs on the thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties of composites. Different lengths of MWCNTs endowed PEEK composites with different thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties. On thermal and mechanical properties, the incorporation of 10–30 μm length of MWCNTs increased more the effectiveness on the crystallization rate, showing a higher crystallization temperature and the best mechanical properties of the PEEK composites. On tribological properties, approximately 50 μm MWCNTs can effectively decrease adhesive wear, which is a benefit of forming a thin transfer film, thereby effectively decreasing the coefficient of friction and improving the wear resistance.

The effect of various operational factors, such as sliding speed, normal load and temperature on the tribological properties of Date palm fruit syrup (DPFS) as an environmentally friendly lubricant, is investigated. Ball-on-disc wear tests are conducted on mild steel samples in the presence of DPFS as a lubricant under different conditions and the coefficient of friction and wear rate are measured. Scanning electron microscopy, stylus profilometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to evaluate the wear tracks to determine the underlying wear mechanisms. Results showed that DPFS has excellent tribological properties in terms of low friction and low wear rates making it a potential candidate to be used as a lubricant in tribological applications.

The paper presents mechanical and tribological properties of Al2O3/ZrO2 composite sinters with different proportions of Al2O3 and ZrO2 phases. These materials are commonly used in dry friction contact due to relatively low manufacturing costs of even complex shapes of products and the possibility of working at elevated temperatures. The tests were carried out by the ball-on-disc method at temperatures of 20, 150, 300, and 500°C. A ball made of Al2O3 was used as a counterpart. The results were compared with the following sintered mono-phase materials: Al2O3(alumina) and tetragonal yttria-stabilized ZrO2 polycrystallines (Y-TZP). The tests showed the significantly better properties of composite materials.

For the sake of driving safety, the right choice of the brake pad friction material and its manufacturing processes to obtain the appropriate tribological properties is a matter of priority for brake pad manufacturers. Determination of the tribological properties is best done in component tests, i.e. in the setup: brake pads – brake disc. At the request of one of the domestic brake pad manufacturers, as part of the POIR project, an inertia dynamometer for testing friction and wear of brake pads and brake discs was developed and manufactured, which was given the symbol T-33. A test methodology was developed based on the “Cold application section” procedure described in SAE J2522:2003. The T-33 inertia dynamometer is designed for testing brake pads and brake discs intended for five vehicles representing the passenger vehicle class and vans. The paper presents the new test stand, test methodology, and results of verification tests of the T-33 dynamometer (interlaboratory comparison tests) performed on the Cinquecento vehicle brake setup.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) composites filled with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and sisal fibers (SF) were prepared by extrusion and injection molding. Sisal fibers were treated by various concentrations of NaOH solution to improve the poor compatibility between SF and matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) test were used to confirm the surface treatment. The effects of SF alkaline treatment on the mechanical and tribological properties of POM composites were determined by using tensile test, impact test and friction and wear test. The worn surfaces of composites were investigated by SEM. Results showed that the composite filled with 12.5% NaOH treated SF exhibited the optimal mechanical and tribological properties among the all composites. The major wear mechanism of the composites was adhesive wear and abrasive grain wear.
