An experimental study on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire was carried out on a pin-on-disc frictional tester under electric current. The result indicates that the coefficient of friction slowly increases with increasing of electric current. The value of friction coefficient is low, generally not more than 0.125. The wear volume of pin specimen increases with increasing of electric current. The wear volume of pin specimen is very low, generally not more than 0.075g. Through observing the SEM morphology of worn specimens, it can be found that there are obvious pits of arc ablation and traces of melting metal on worn surface. Worn surfaces of the worn specimens are analyzed by an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It can be observed that the oxidation wear occurs in the frictional process due to arc erosion and significant temperature rise. Therefore the arc erosion and oxidation wear are a main wear mechanism accompanied by materials transferring in the process of electrical sliding friction.

Friction and wear tests of stainless steel rubbing against copper-impregnated metalized carbon with electric current were carried on the pin-on-disc tester. The result indicates that arc discharge occurs in the process of experiments, and the intensity of arc discharge of interface increases with increasing of electric current and sliding velocity. As increasing of the arc discharge intensity, friction coefficient shows a tendency of slightly increase. While the rate of copper-impregnated metalized carbon material increase significantly with the increase of arc discharge intensity. Through observing the worn surface morphology of pin samples, it is found that the abrasive wear is dominant at small arc discharge due to worn particles and arc ablation craters, but arc erosion and oxidation wear are the main wear mechanisms in condition of large arc discharge due to arc discharge and its producing high temperature. The materials transfer of contact couple occurs in the process of friction and wear.

A series of experiments on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire is performed on high-speed friction and wear tester with electric current. The results show that the friction coefficient is generally maintained between 0.24 and 0.37. In the absence of electric current, the coefficient of friction is higher than that in the presence of electric current. The wear rate of carbon strip materials is generally not more than 0.014g/km. In particular, the wear rate under the electric current of 240 A is 14 times more than that in the absence of electric current. By observing the scar of worn surface with optical microscope, it can be found that there are obvious slip scars and arc erosive pits. The dominated wear mechanisms are abrasive wear and arc erosion in electrical sliding frictional process.

Using C/C composite and chrome bronze as a friction couple, the frictional wear properties of C/C composite with electric current is studied in this paper. The results have shown that current, velocity and load are important factors to affect the frictional wear properties of C/C composite with electric current. Wear rate of C/C composite increases with the increase of arc energy .The coefficient of friction and the wear rate increase with the increase of velocity when the electric current is constant of 100A. The coefficient of friction increases but the wear rate decreases with the increase of load when the electric current is constant at 100A. The coefficient of friction decreases but the wear rate increases with the increase of current when the load is constant of 80N. Comparing with no electric current, the coefficient of friction of C/C composite with electric current decreases but the wear rate of that increases obviously. The wear mechanism of C/C composite is mainly of electric wear caused by arc erosion under the condition of current-carrying.

Dry sliding friction and wear behavior of single-wall (SW) and multi-wall (MW) carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/ vinylester composite have been investigated, under several loads and sliding speeds. Three different contents (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 wt. %) of SWCNT and MWCNTs have been dispersed into the vinylester resin in order to obtain polymer nanocomposites. The present study discusses the coefficient of friction, specific wear rate and friction stability of vinylester composites with different CNTs content, using a pin-on-disc test. The friction and wear experiments were carried out following 3 loads×3 speeds, as test parameters. The best combination of friction and wear properties was found with the nanocomposite containing 0.2 wt.% MWCNT. Keywords: carbon nanotubes, vinylester, friction, wear

An experimental study on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire was carried out on a pin-on-disc frictional tester with and without windy conditions. The result shows that wear rate of pin specimen increases observably with increasing sliding distance with and without windy conditions. While the coefficient of friction slightly decreases with increasing of electric current with and without the wind. Observing the SEM morphology of pin specimens, it can be found that delamination wear is a main wear mechanism under no windy condition. While arc erosion is a dominant wear mechanism with windy condition. Worn surfaces of the materials were analyzed by an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It can be observed that oxidation wear occurs in the frictional process due to arc erosion and high temperature rise.

The pin-on-disc dry sliding friction and wear experiments have been made on 42CrMo4 steel in contact with Si3N4, SiC, WC, Al2O3, and ZrO2 ceramic balls. The tests were carried out at sliding speeds of 0.16 m/s, 0.24 m/s, and 0.32 m/s. During the tests, the friction force was monitored as a function of time. Discs and balls wear was measured after the tests using a white light interferometer Talysurf CCI Lite and Altisurf 520 optical profilometer with a CL1 confocal probe. To decrease variations in the experimental results, during the tests, wear debris was continuously removed from the disc surfaces. It was found out that with Al2O3 counterpart the wear volume of the steel discs was the largest. However, the largest wear volume of the balls was observed for Si3N4 ceramic balls.

Ti (C,N)/ZrO2/WC nanocomposite cermet die materials were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing process, the materials have better comprehensive mechanical properties. The friction and wear properties of Ti (C,N)-based nanocomposite cermet die materials were studied, and the worn surfaces microstructure were observed and analysed by SEM and XRD. The experimental results showed that when the rotate speed was higher, the coefficient of friction of the developed cermet die material, which is 0.3-0.4, was lower than that without the addition of nanoZrO2 and micrometer WC. The main wear mechanisms were abrasive wear, oxidation wear and adhesive wear.

Friction and wear are very important in mechanical design. This paper studies the friction and wear characteristics of 45 steel under oil lubrication. The sliding friction and wear experiment was carried out with the pin plate friction pairs on the MMW-1A friction and wear test machine. Researching the influence of velocity on friction factor under the same load, the relation between wear and load and wear analysis under the same speed different loads. The results showed that under the same load and with the increase of velocity, the friction factor had a gradually decreasing trend. When some of the parameters were certain, the wear volume and the loading force was roughly linear relation. Pitting occurred when the load increased.

The friction and wear properties of nanocrystalline cobalt (nc Co) with a grain size of 20±5 nm and a hardness of 503±13 HV were studied using a pin-on-disc tribometer. Tests performed under unlubricated sliding conditions in ambient air showed that large tribolayer area covered the nc Co’s wear track. The oxygen concentration of the tribolayer was higher than that formed on contact surfaces of microcrystalline cobalt (mc Co) with a grain size of 16±3 μm and a hardness of 299±8 HV tested under the same conditions, due to the higher tendency of nc Co for oxidation. Higher rate of oxidational wear in nc Co resulted in higher initial surface damage in this material compared to the mc Co. Once the tribolayer was formed on top of the contact surfaces, a steady-state wear regime prevailed, reducing the coefficient of friction (COF) and the wear rate in this sample.
