Traditional lubrication by oil sometimes does not work because of the high temperature, fast speed and excessive load of the aeroengine bearings. The Graphite-like Carbon coating is used to improve the insufficient lubrication in this paper. And the micro hardness, the friction coefficient and the wear rate tests are offered: with GLC, the hardness is increased twice at least, its friction coefficient is 25% and the wear rate is 1/100 when contrasted with that of the typical bearings material. The tests and calculation results show:the wear cycles of the GLC coated W9Cr4V is more than 400 times of that of the uncoated W9Cr4V and even when the GLC coating is worn out, the friction coefficient of W9Cr4V is only 0.15 which can effectively lubricate for the bearing for a short period of time when the liquid lubrication does not work. So it is proved to be effective in improving the wear resistance and reliability of bearings.

The tribological characteristics of nickel-aluminium bronze CuAl10Ni5Fe4 against 30CrMnSiA steel after the prior corrosion treatment was studied at the M2000A model wear tester. The wear rate of corroded specimen was less than that of uncorroded specimen at the early stage of prior corrosion treatment, while the wear resistances deteriorated and the average friction coefficient slightly declined with the extension of prior corrosion period. The tests of CuAl10Ni5Fe4 sliding bearing at PLS-100 swing tribometer were used to validate the results. The wear resistances of CuAl10Ni5Fe4 sliding bearing increased slightly after a short period of prior corrosion, and the average friction coefficient decreased slightly after a long term of prior corrosion. A suitable period of prior corrosion treatment can enhance the wear resistance performance of CuAl10Ni5Fe4 bearing. The tribological characteristics of CuAl10Ni5Fe4 sliding bearing tested by PLS-100 rack swing tribometer are consistent with the conclusions of the tests at M2000A model wear tester.

Cr3C2-NiCr has high quality of wear resistant properties and is widely used in abrasive environment. In this paper, Cr3C2-NiCr coating was prepared on 45 steel by laser cladding technology. Analysis and research of the coatings were achieved by SEM and XRD to determine the main component and the different region on coatings. The hardness and the element component were investigated by micro-hardness tester and EDS. Abrasion tests were performed to contrast the wear resistance of two materials. The results indicate that the hardness of the coatings is nearly 3 times as the substrate. The coatings are well combined with the substrate and the phase of Cr3C2 has a large proportion in the coatings. Abrasion tests show that the average of wear rate on substrate is 5.2 times as the coatings.

Incorporation of metallic elements, titanium and copper, into carbonaceous mesophase (CM) was performed through mechanical alloying in a ball mill apparatus. The structures of the raw CM as well as the Ti/Cu-added CM were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The tribological behavior of the Ti/Cu-added CM used as lubricating additives was investigated by using a high temperature friction and wear tester. The results show that, compared with the raw CM, the Ti/Cu-added CM exhibits a drop in the crystallinity and a transition to the amorphous. The Ti/Cu-added CM used as lubricating additive displays an obvious high temperature anti-friction and wear resistance effect, and the lager the applied load, the lower the friction coefficient and the wear severity.

Abstract To improve the wear resistance of polyurethane (PU) coating and its adhesion to the steel substrate, a series of simple and practicable techniques were designed to mix nano-SiO2 with PU powder to cast a coating layer onto the steel. When the addition of nano-SiO2 was small, a network structure of PU-SiO2 was produced. It improved the wear resistance of the composite coating and its adhesion to the steel substrate. When the addition of nano-SiO2 was excessive, agglomerated nano-SiO2 particles not only affected the bond between the PU resin and the steel substrate but also became abrasive materials, intensifying the abrasion of the composite coating during friction. It resulted in lower bonding strength and poorer wear resistance of the composite coating. The wear rate and friction coefficient of 2 wt.% SiO2/PU composite coating were 1.52×10−6 cm3/min N and 0.31, respectively. Its wear resistance was about 10 times as high as that of the pure PU coating. Furthermore, a simple and practicable installation was designed to test the bonding strength between the coating and the steel substrate. The bonding strength between 2 wt.% SiO2/PU composite coating and the steel substrate was 7.33 MPa, which was 39% higher than that of the pure PU coating.

Work-hardening of machined surface plays an important role in the evaluation of surface quality and performance of wear resistance in the process of machining components. In this study work-hardening of machined surface during milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy is investigated using micro-hardness experiments under different cutting conditions. Moreover, the wear resistance of machined surface including wear quantity and friction coefficient are obtained and studied by means of high speed ring-block friction-wear tester. The work-hardening and wear resistance are particularly sensitive to cutting speed. Friction coefficient has marked drop trends and the tendency of wear quantity is ascend in first and descend at last as work-hardening increases. The comparison of wear resistance under different cutting conditions shows that the wear resistance of machined surface can be directly affected by work-hardening and machined surface obtained by high speed milling with higher micro-hardness have more superior in wear resistance performance.

This paper is about the study of the KF301/WS2composite lubrication wear-resisting coatings prepared by supersonic plasma spraying. Basing on the research of the tribological characteristics, it has been discussed the self-lubricity and the failure mechanism showed by composite lubrication coatings under high-temperature conditions. Research shows that the wear rate of the coatings increased with the increase of the temperature. At 300°C, the wear rate is 1.02×10-4mg/m; At 750°C, the wear rate is 2.61×10-4mg/m. With the increase of temperature, friction coefficient of the coatings shows gradually increasing. When the temperature falls below 600°C, friction coefficient keeps around 0.08; At 750°C, the friction coefficient is 0.12. Temperature has great effect on the friction and wear properties ofthe self-lubricating wear-resisting coatings, mainly manifests in two aspects: first, with the increase of the temperature, under the common influence of thermal stress and frictional contact stress, it promotes the WS2solid lubricant film cracking, breakage, shedding process, and lubrication and abrasive resistance reduces; on the other hand, the WS2occurs chemical reaction under high temperature, generating lubricity phase of NiWO4, CrS, and lubricity phases are well supplied, lubricating film has an effect of continuous lubrication on the rubbing surface, So the coating shows low-friction, and it also represents that the KF-301/ WS2self-lubricating composite coating has good lubrication and abrasive resistance under high temperature.

In this work we intend to investigate the surface properties of laser sintered and coated parts, by measurement of friction coefficient and wear rate. The main aim of this research is to justify laser sintered prototype tools for injection molding of fibre-reinforced polymers. For increase of wear resistance we used hard Co-based and Fe-based coatings on laser-sintered phosphorous bronze and unalloyed steel substrate. Short carbon- and glass-fibre-reinforced polymers were used as counter bodies. For the tribological laboratory model tests a pin-on-disk test rig was used. In case of coated parts – with higher wear resistance – we used a cylinder-on-cylinder tribometer. The tribological properties were determined at different load conditions. Our results show that the friction coefficient and wear resistance of laser treated surfaces are good. The coefficient of friction of coated specimens is slightly less, but the wear rate is significantly less.

Abstract Carbon-copper composite coatings reinforced with titanium were deposited using high power magnetron sputtering technique. Tribological and metrological tests were performed using Taylor Hobson Talysurf Intra 50 measuring equipment and CSM Instruments ball-on-disk type tribometer. Friction coefficient and wear rate were determined at 2N, 4N, 6N loads. It was revealed that friction coefficient decreased at a higher Ti concentration, which was particularly expressed at bigger applied loads. However, wear volume values tended to increase in the beginning, till Ti concentration reached about 11 %, but then decreased, thus providing better nanocoating wear resistance.

AbstractIn the glass molding process, the sticking reaction and fatigue wear between the glass and mold hinder the service life and functional application of the mold at the elevated temperature. To improve the chemical inertness and anti-friction properties of the mold, an amorphous carbon coating was synthesized on the tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC–8Co) substrate by magnetron sputtering. The friction behavior between the glass and carbon coating has a significant influence on the functional protection and service life of the mold. Therefore, the glass ring compression tests were conducted to measure the friction coefficient and friction force of the contact interface between the glass and amorphous carbon coating at the high temperature. Meanwhile, the detailed characterization of the amorphous carbon coating was performed to study the microstructure evolution and surface topography of the amorphous carbon coating during glass molding process by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Ramon spectroscopy, and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results showed that the amorphous carbon coating exhibited excellent thermal stability, but weak shear friction strength. The friction coefficient between the glass and coating depended on the temperature. Besides, the service life of the coating was governed by the friction force of the contact interface, processing conditions, and composition diffusion. This work provides a better understanding of the application of carbon coatings in the glass molding.

Purpose Aluminium and its alloys are the most preferred material in aerospace and automotive industries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio. However, these alloys are found to be low wear resistance. Hence, the incorporation of ceramic particles with the aluminium alloy may be enhanced the mechanical and tribological properties. The purpose of this study is to optimize the specific wear rate and friction coefficient of titanium dioxide (TiO2) reinforced AA7075 matrix composites. The four wear control factors are considered, i.e. reinforcement (Wt.%), applied load (N), sliding velocity (m/s) and sliding distance (m). Design/methodology/approach The composites were fabricated through stir casting route with varying weight percentages (0, 5, 10 and 15 Wt.%) of TiO2 particulates. The mechanical properties of the composites were studied. The specific wear rate and friction coefficient of the newly prepared composites was determined by using a pin-on-disc apparatus under dry sliding conditions. Experiments were planned as per Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal design. Signal-to-noise ratio analysis was used to find the optimal combination of parameters. Findings The mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and hardness of the composites significantly improved with the addition of TiO2 particles. The analysis of variance result shows that the applied load and reinforcement Wt.% are the most influencing parameters on specific wear rate and friction coefficient during dry sliding conditions. The scanning electron microscope morphology of the worn surface shows that TiO2 particles protect the matrix from more removal of material at all conditions. Originality/value This paper provides a solution for optimal parameters on specific wear rate and friction coefficient of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) using Taguchi methodology. The obtained results are useful in improving the wear resistance of the AA7075-TiO2 composites.
