Vanadium-Chromium composite layer is formed on the surface of cast steel by the method of V-EPC cast penetration. The dry sliding friction wear properties of composite layer are studied on MM200 friction wear testing machine in this paper. The wear surface feature of samples is also observed by SEM and the wear mechanism of samples is analyzed. The result has shown that comparing with the matrix, the wear resistance of composite layer is advanced evidently. The wear rate of composite layer is only eighth to matrix. With the increase of load and the decrease of Vanadium iron in penetrating regent, the wear rate of composite layer increase. The mechanism of composite layer is mainly oxidation and fatigue flake produced by the initiation and expansion of crack.

The friction and wear properties of Cu-Te-Li alloys under dry sliding condition were studied by M-200 wear testing machine. The morphology and chemical composition of worn surfaces were analyzed by SEM and EDS, thus the effect of aging treatment on friction coefficient, wear rate and wear mechanism was discussed. The results showed that Te element could improve the wear resistance of copper alloys. With Te content increasing, the friction coefficient of Cu-Te-Li alloys declined slightly and tended to be stable as a whole, while the wear rate decreased obviously. During the process of dry sliding friction, adhesive wear was the dominant mechanism, with oxidative wear coexisting. But for the Cu-Te-Li alloys after aging treatment, abrasive wear appeared and adhesive wear was intensified, especially at higher friction velocity.

The dry sliding wear behavior of the Al-12Si-CuNiMg matrix alloy and its composite reinforced with Al2O3 fibers was investigated using a pin-on-disk wear-testing machine. The volume fraction of Al2O3 fibers in the composite was 17 vol.%. Wear tests are conducted under normal loads of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 N, and sliding velocities of 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 m/s. Furthermore, the worn surfaces of the matrix alloy and the composite were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the wear resistance of the composite was inferior to that of the matrix alloy, which could be attributed to the high content of reinforcement and casting porosities in the composite. Worn-surface analysis indicates that the dominant wear mechanisms of both materials were abrasive wear and adhesive wear under the present testing conditions.

Diamond-like carbon film (DLC) with an interlayer of plasma sprayed tungsten-carbide (WC) was prepared on an aluminum alloy substrate (A5052) by a hybrid process of plasma-based ion implantation and deposition using hydrocarbon gas. Typical thicknesses of DLC and WC films were 1 μm and 100 μm, respectively. The hardness and friction coefficient of DLC were typically 15 GPa and 0.15, respectively. The durability of DLC/WC/A5052 system was evaluated from the measurement of the friction coefficient by a ball-on-disk friction tester in which the loaded ball was drawn repeatedly across a sample and the load was increased with each traverse. For the DLC/A5052 system, which has no WC interlayer, the DLC film was broken quickly because of distortion of the substrate. For the DLC/WC/A5052 system, on the other hand, the DLC film was excellent in durability for long running. The wear rate of rubber rotor to the metal rotor was measured by a roller-pitching-type wear testing machine, showing large reduction in wear rate using DLC-coated metal rotor.

The dry sliding wear behaviour of LM 24 aluminum alloy composites reinforced with garnet particles was evaluated. Stir casting technique was used to fabricate the composites. A pin-on-disc wear-testing machine was used to evaluate the wear rate, in which an EN 24 steel disc was used as the counterface. Results indicated that the wear rates of the composites were lower than that of the matrix alloy and further decreased with the increase in garnet content. However, in both unreinforced and reinforced composites, the wear rate increased with the increase in load and the sliding speed. Increase in the applied load increased the wear severity by changing the wear mechanism from abrasion to particle cracking-induced delamination wear. It was found that with the increase in garnet content, the wear resistance increased monotonically. The observations have been explained using scanning electron microscopy analysis of the worn surfaces and the subsurface of the composites. In this work, the most influencing input and output parameters have been performed and the process parameters have been prioritized using genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the most influencing input as well as output process parameters. The practical significance of applying genetic algorithm to dry sliding wear behavior process has been validated by means of computing the deviation between predicted and experimentally obtained wear behavior of metal matrix composite.

The wear mechanisms of different graphite contents of NBR by 45# steel under dry sliding and water lubrication were investigated. On MPV-600 computer-controlled abrasive wear testing machine, the coefficients of friction were measured continuously. Results showed that under dry sliding condition, the rubber wear loss is big, the coefficient of friction is higher, the temperature of the friction surface is rise obviously. Wear loss and friction coefficient of NBR decrease with the increase of graphite contents; With the increase of graphite contents wear loss and the friction coefficient decreases, and is mainly due to the graphite lubrication performance and increase the stiffness of the rubber contact area. At low content of graphite, adhesive wear of NBR is showed, in the high content of graphite, abrasive wear is showed. Water lubrication condition, wear surface level off, the wear loss is very small, and the lubrication and cooling effect of water makes the friction coefficient decrease. Graphite content is higher, the wear loss and coefficient of friction is smaller.

The microstructural and wear properties of laser-cladding WC/Ni-based layer on Al–Si alloy were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and wear-testing. The results show that, compared with the original specimen, the microhardness and wear resistance of the cladding layer on an Al–Si alloy were remarkably improved, wherein the microhardness of the layer achieved 1100 HV and the average friction coefficient of the layer was barely 0.14. The mainly contributor to such significant improvement was the generation of a WC/Ni-composite layer of Al–Si alloy during laser cladding. Two types of carbides, identified as M7C3 and M23C6, were found in the layer. The wear rate of the layer first increased and then decreased with the increase in load; when the load was 20 N, 60 N and 80 N, the wear rate of layer was1.89 × 10−3 mm3·m−1, 3.73 × 10−3 mm3·m−1 and 2.63 × 10−3 mm3·m−1, respectively, and the average friction coefficient (0.14) was the smallest when the load was 60 N.

In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the wear rate of ZA-27 alloy composites reinforced with fly ash particles from 1 to 3 wt% in steps of 1 wt%. The compo-casting method has been used to fabricate the composites using Raichur fly ash of average size 3-5 microns. The wear specimens are tested under dry conditions using a pin-on-disc sliding wear testing machine with wear loads of 20-120 N in steps of 20 N, and the sliding distances in the range of 0.5 km to 2.5 km. The results indicate that the wear rate of the composites is less than that of the matrix alloy and it further decreases with the increase in fly ash content. However, the material loss in terms of wear rate and wear volume increases with the increase in load and sliding distance, both in the cases of composites and the matrix alloy. An increase in the applied load increases the wear severity by changing the wear mechanism from abrasion to particle-cracking induced delamination wear. It is found that with the increase in fly ash content, the wear resistance increases monotonically. The observations have been explained using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of the worn surfaces of the composites.

The tribological properties of metal matrix composites (MMC’s) is of interest in several applications like bearing sleeves, piston and cylinder liners, aircraft brakes etc. The wear behaviour of unreinforced as well as B4C particles reinforced phosphor-bronze alloy composite material is studied as a function of sliding speed and applied loads under un-lubricated conditions. The content of B4C particles in the composite was varied from 1-6% in steps of 2% by weight. A pin on disc wear testing machine was used to evaluate the wear rate, in which cast iron disc was used as the counterface. Loads of 10-30N in steps of 10N and speeds of 1.30, 1.83 and 2.30 m/s was employed. The results indicated that the wear rate of both the composites and the matrix alloy increased with increase in load and sliding speed. However, the composites exhibited lower wear rate than the alloys.
