Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) becomes one of the most promising polymer material for the tribological applications because of its outstanding performance such as high mechanical properties, high chemical resistance, and high wear resistance. The present work is focused on optimization of dry sliding wear parameters of MWCNT reinforced PEEK matrix composites using RSM based desirability approach. The materials used for the present investigation are unreinforced PEEK and reinforced with 0.5% and 1% MWCNT. Wear parameters such as load, sliding speed and % of MWCNT are chosen as control factors to optimize the wear loss and coefficient of friction. An experimental plan of a L9 based on Taguchi design is employed to carry out the experimental study. After conducting experiment, mathematical models have been developed to fit the output responses using Response surface methodology and drilling parameters have been optimized using Desirability based approach. This methodology deals with the development of modelling equations for each response. The relative significance of the various parameters has been found using ANOVA.

In order to reduce friction coefficient of the Ni-base alloy coating and further improve its wear resistance, the graphite/TiC/Ni-base alloy composite coating was prepared on the surface of 45 carbon steel by plasma spray. Effects of loads, friction counterparts and lubricants on tribological properties of the coating were investigated. The results show that friction coefficient of the composite coating is reduced by 33% than that of the Ni-base alloy coating when worn against GCr15. Wear losses of the composite coating are less than those of the Ni-base alloy coating at all loads of 6N, 8N, 10N and 12N. Worn against Si3N4, friction coefficient of the composite coating is 13% less than that worn against GCr15, but its wear loss is 2.9 times of that worn against GCr15. Wear mechanism of the composite coating is micro cutting and brittle fraction when worn against Si3N4. Under lubrication of NaCl solution, friction coefficient of the composite coating is almost the same as that under dry sliding, wear loss is increased by 1.6 times. Stress corrosion and wedging effects of the NaCl solution are main wear mechanisms of the composite coating.

Sliding Wear Behaviour

Fe-based system powder metallurgy in the as-sintered was investigated on pin-on-rolling wear tester for their dry sliding wear behaviour. The morphology of worn surfaces and wear mechanism were analysed by SEM. Results show the hot-forging deformation quenching and tempered considerably decreased the porosity and improved wear resistance, and compare with quenching microstructure, tempered microstructure has high wear resistance and match of strength-toughness. Fe-2.0Ni-0.4Mo-0.5C-0.6Cr alloy presented best wear characteristics. SEM observations of the worn surface revealed microploughing and plastic deformation and crack were the basic dry sliding wear morphology,and oxidative wear and delamination wear are dominant wear mechanism.

Polymer matrix composites have revealed enormous potential to substitute metal components in a wide variety of applications because of their self-lubrication properties, lightweight and resistance to wear, corrosion and organic solvents. However, additional upgrading in their properties is still essential. The endeavour of this research was to assess the effect of the material type and the morphology of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the wear performance of poly-ether-ether ketone (PEEK) matrix composites. The MWCNT-filled PEEK matrix composites were prepared using melt mixing technique. The wear behaviour of reinforced MWCNT-filled PEEK composites was studied using the pin-on-disc apparatus under dry sliding conditions at different applied loads, sliding speeds, temperature and wt% MWCNTs. Experiments were conducted using response surface methodology (RSM)-based central composite design. The specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were considered as wear performances of MWCNT-filled PEEK matrix composites. The second-order models are developed to optimize the wear parameters using the genetic algorithm technique. The morphologies of the worn surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy.

An attempt is made to find the mechanical and tribological properties of Al6061/Gr metal matrix composites (MMC) produced using stir casting method. It is important to note that the certain components require high hardness and wear resistance to fulfil the functional requirements, the said properties of the MMCs influenced largely on the condition with which they are produced or treated. Therefore, in the present paper the composites are tested in two stages that is before T6 heat treatment and after T6 heat treatment respectively. The composites are made with Al6061 alloy as matrix and graphite with 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% by wt is considered as reinforcement. Once the composites are prepared, they are examined for their microstructural, mechanical, and tribological properties. Further, a response surface methodology (RSM) has been used to model the wear loss and coefficient of friction for both before and after T6 heat treatment of MMCs. The non-linear regression model obtained is validated both statistically and with the help of experimental test cases. The evidence of wear phenomenon has been observed with the help of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Further, fuzzy grey relational Technique has been used to determine the multi performance index for the dry sliding wear and friction phenomenon of the developed composite.

This paper brings an innovative processing route of manganese deep-sea nodules, which results in completely new grades of alloys. Deep-sea nodules were processed by aluminothermic method without the extraction of individual elements, producing complexly alloyed manganese-based “natural alloys”. Three levels of the amount of aluminum were used for the aluminothermic reduction, and hence the alloys differ strongly in the amount of aluminum, which has a significant effect on their phase composition. The alloys have very high wear resistance, comparable with tool steel. The disadvantage of low-aluminum alloy is the susceptibility to local thermal cracking during friction, which occurs especially in the case of a dry sliding wear against the static partner with low thermal conductivity.

Special brasses containing Mn and Si possess high wear resistance due to the dispersion of hard Mn5Si3 particles. The effect of precipitation hardening on the wear resistance of a Cu–30Zn–3Al–3Mn–0.7Si based brass alloy was investigated. Dry sliding wear test was conducted using a block-on-ring configuration. The results indicated that finely, nanoscale Mn5Si3 particles precipitated from the matrix after annealing at 800 °C for 4 h, resulting in the increase of hardness from 240 to 278 HV. Both the wear loss and friction coefficient decreased, indicating the improvement of the wear resistance. From the examination of the worn surfaces, adhesive and abrasive wear were found to be the major wear forms. The adhesion and abrasion decreased after the precipitation-hardening treatment.

Abstract This work reports on the sliding wear properties of Fe3Al-based alloy in conditions of dry sliding and quartz sand abrasion. The wear strengthening mechanism is also analyzed in detail. On this basis, the feasibility of using Fe3Al-based alloy instead of 42CrMo steel to make the wear-resistant scraper components in scraper conveyor is discussed. The results show that the wear mass loss and wear-rate of Fe3Al-based alloy are significantly lower than 42CrMo steel in dry sliding wear and abrasion by quartz sand, which indicates good sliding wear resistance. The wear resistance of Fe3Al-based alloy can be attributed to the grain boundary strengthening caused by the carbide precipates, dislocation fine-grained strengthening, and hard phase strengthening of Al2O3 in the wear surface. Compared with quenched and tempered 40CrMo steel, the lower density of Fe3Al-based alloy can reduce the weight of scraper components by about 15%, and the lower matrix hardness can reduce the wear loss of middle groove and scraper chain. The hardening effect of the worn surface layer can effectively improve the sliding wear resistance of the scraper by about 68%, which is very beneficial to improve the service life and reliability of the scraper conveyor.
