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.

This work investigates Al 6061 alloy with graphite particle impregnated metal matrix composites under dry sliding conditions. The conventional casting techniques were used for preparing the composite material. Experiments were conducted under dry sliding conditions for determining the wear behavior of Al 6061 alloy- Graphite composite material with varying wt % graphite content under different sliding speeds and at different loads. Sliding distance of 250m was commonly used for the wear test. A pin on disc machine was used for conducting the wear test. The test was conducted under atmospheric conditions. Wear rate decreases with increased sliding speed and increases with increasing load. Worn surfaces of the composites were examined through scanning electron microscope. The wear loss of the composite material with 5Wt % graphite was found to be minimum with respect to sliding speeds and loads.

The nickel based Colmonoy 5 alloy powder was deposited on 316 L (N) austenitic stainless steel substrate. In order to examine the effects of aging treatment on the wear behavior of a nickel based hardfacing alloy, the as-deposited coating was aged at 580°C for 5000h in ambient atmosphere. Coating microstructures were characterised by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Sliding tests were conducted under self mated condition at room temperature and 550°C using a pin-on disc type apparatus. The wear loss of the aged coating was found to be higher than that of the as deposited coating. The coarse grained structure with carbide (Cr23C6) precipitation in the aged coating would account for the higher sliding wear loss. However, the aged coating, with reduced hardness exhibits similar wear behavior of as deposited coating during sliding at 550°C.

In the present study, wear behavior as a function of aging time was evaluated for the AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic complex, concentrated alloy (CCA) consisting of B2 (BCC), and L12 (FCC) lamellae in the as-cast state. By aging the material at 800 °C up to 500 h, precipitation of a fine, evenly dispersed micro-phase inside the L12 takes place. From 500 h to 1000 h of aging, precipitates coarsen by the Ostwald ripening mechanism. Reciprocating wear tests were characterized by a prevailing abrasive wear mechanism, while adhesive and delamination wear components change with aging conditions. The L12 phase with lower hardness in the as-cast material preferentially deformed during the wear test, which was not the case after aging the material, i.e., with the presence of precipitates. Aging-induced changes show a similar trend for the coefficient of friction and L12 + precipitates phase fraction, whereas changes in specific wear rate are in a good agreement with changes in B2 phase fraction. In general, aging the AlCoCrFeNi2.1 CCA at 800 °C up to 500 h decreases its coefficient of friction due to reduced adhesive wear component and enhances its wear performance through precipitation strengthening.

In this study, the composites with incorporation betel nut powder at three levels (10, 18 and 25%) in Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) matrices having Kevlar Fibres (KF) and Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) nano particles in fixed amounts are looked into for their tribological characteristics. The effect of hardness, surface roughness and density was evaluated. FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies have been carried out to identify the phases. The effects of load on the slide wear loss and coefficient of friction of the composites were determined using Pin on Disc set up. The wear test pertaining to the betel nut bearing (BNP) composites were compared with those of betel nut free ones i.e. PC/ABS/KF/MoS2. The results revealed that with increase in load, the wear loss increases. Further with increase in betel nut powder concentration from 10% to 25% there is a decrease in wear loss as well as coefficient of friction. The surface morphology of the worn surface were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) which revealed higher plastic deformation, debris formation and furrowing in BNP free systems compared to betel nut bearing ones.

In the present study, the effect of various N 2 gas flow rates on friction coefficient and surface roughness of TiN -coated D2 tool steel was examined by a commercially available cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) technique. A Pin-on-Disc test was carried out to study the Coefficient of friction (COF) versus sliding distance. A surface roughness tester measured the surface roughness parameters. The minimum values for the COF and surface roughness were recorded at a N 2 gas flow rate of 200 sccm. The increase in the COF and surface roughness at a N 2 gas flow rate of 100 sccm was mainly attributed to an increase in both size and number of titanium particles, whereas the increase at 300 sccm was attributed to a larger number of growth defects generated during the coating process. These ideas make it possible to optimize the coating properties as a function of N 2 gas flow rate for specific applications, e.g. cutting tools for automobiles, aircraft, and various mechanical parts.

Abstract This paper presents the findings of comparative research conducted to find out the braking performance of a Mo/NiCrBSi coated automobile brake disc. The friction and wear behavior of the Mo/NiCrBSi coating (CD) used for the disc material was evaluated using a laboratory scale disc-pad dynamometer and compared with a reference disc (RD). The coating was deposited by means of the atmospheric plasma spray process on a grey cast iron substrate. Braking tests were performed according to the SAE-J2430 test standard. Disc microstructures were characterized by SEM and XRD. It was found that the bonding strength was good with an infinite rating between the accumulated coating layer and the substrate. The results show that the coated brake disc has a comparable coefficient of friction and that the amount of wear is lower than that of the reference disc. The addition of ductile phases to the disc coating was beneficial in reducing the coefficient of friction to an acceptable degree and also effectively improving wear resistance.

This work is a contribution in analyzing structure, tribological behavior and corrosion of AISI L6 hardened tool steel. Structural characterization and tribological behavior of steel were investigated using Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wear testing by friction on a pin-on-disc Tribometer and corrosion by potentiodynamic polarization. Comparing to the as-received steel, hardening has generated a fine martensitic microstructure causing a 1.5 times hardness increase. Hardening has contributed to improvement of wear resistance as the coefficient of friction has decreased from 0.86 to 0.67μ. An increase in corrosion resistance was observed after hardening treatment.
