PA66 nanocomposites with various contents of TiO2 were prepared by twin-screw extruder in order to study the influence of inorganic nanoparticles on tribological properties of PA66melt-intercalation method. The effects of content of nanoparticles and load on friction coefficient and wear volume loss were investigated, respectively. The tensile properties of PA66/TiO2 nanocomposites were greatly improved. The tribological behaviors of the PA66/TiO2 nanocomposites against steel ring were evaluated on a block-on-ring type (M-2000) wear tester. Nano TiO2 at 1vol.% was effective for improving the tribological properties of neat PA66, because the nano TiO2 at the low content may act as the reinforcing element to bore load and thus decrease the plastic deformation.

Multi-element CrTiAlN coatings are deposited onto YT14 cemented carbide milling cutter by magnetron sputtering in an Ar+N2 mixture. The nano-indenter, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Rockwell indentations were used to investigate the mechanical property, microstructure and adhesion strength of CrTiAlN coatings. And the tribological properties and dry cutting performance of the CrTiAlN coatings were compared with TiN and TiAlN coatings. The experimental results showed that the phase structures of the composite films include Cr, CrN, Cr2N and TiN phases. And the surface crystal grain of CrTiAlN coatings is relative small and the section structure of CrTiAlN coatings was columns crystal structure. It showed better for CrTiAlN coatings on nano-hardness and adhesion compared with TiN and TiAlN coatings. And the friction coefficient of above three kind coatings was about 0.12-0.15. The friction coefficient and wear volume of CrTiAlN coatings appeared lowest among these three kind coatings. Dry cutting experimental results showed that the sequence of cutting life for these coated tools were CrTiAlN>TiAlN>TiN.

Brown Corundum Ash(BCA) was used to modify nylon 1212(PA1212), which is produced during the production of electric fused brown corundum alumina and will causes serous environmental pollution if it is not recycled. In order to improve the tribological property of PA1212 composites, Graphite, MoS2 and PTFE were used. The composites were prepared by a twin-screw extruder through melt intercalation. The mechanical properties and the wear resistance of the PA1212/Brown Corundum Ash/graphite/MoS2/PTFE composite were studied. The shearing area of composite and the worn surfaces were examined by scanning electric microscope (SEM).

AbstractTo compare the merits of Ni and Cu, the mechanical and tribological properties of CrBN coatings modified by Ni or Cu incorporation were studied. The results demonstrated that the CrBN-Cu coatings presented a lower friction coefficient than CrBN and CrBN-Ni coatings owing to the improved lubrication effect of the CuO layer originating from the tribochemical reaction. However, the hardness decline due to Cu incorporation was much greater than that of Ni incorporation. Thus, the CrBN-Cu coatings exhibited a higher wear rate than the CrBN coating. In contrast, the plastic deformation enhancement induced by Ni incorporation exceeded the hardness decline. Therefore, the wear of CrBN-Ni coatings partially turned to plastic deformation to present a lower wear rate than that of the CrBN coating.

This paper used graphite nanoparticles with the diameter of 35 and 80 nm and LB2000 vegetable based oil to prepare graphite oil-based nanofluids with different volume fractions by two-step method. The tribological properties of graphite nanoparticles as LB2000 vegetable based oil additive were investigated with a pin-on-disk friction and wear tester. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to examine the morphology and the content of some typical elements of wear scar, respectively. Further, the lubrication mechanism of graphite nanoparticles was explored. It was found that graphite nanoparticles as vegetable based oil additive could remarkably improve friction-reducing and antiwear properties of pure oil. With the increase of volume fraction of graphite nanoparticles, the friction coefficient and the wear volume of disk decreased. At the same volume fraction, the smaller particles, the lower friction coefficient and wear volume. The main reason for the improvement in friction-reducing and antiwear properties of vegetable based oil using graphite nanoparticles was that graphite nanoparticles could form a physical deposition film on the friction surfaces.

Coatings are normally employed to meet some functional requirements. There is a kind of self-generated coating during use, such as the transfer layer during sliding, which may greatly affect the tribological behavior. Although the transfer layer has aroused much attention recently, the formation of the transfer layer closely depends on the service conditions, which need to be further studied. In this paper, the effects of sliding speed, normal load, and duration of wear test on the transfer layer thickness during friction of Ni/PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) composites were experimentally investigated. The formation mechanism of transfer layer and the relationships between tribological properties and transfer layer thickness were analyzed in detail. It was found that the transfer layer thickness increased with increases of sliding speed and normal load; and after a period of wear test, the transfer layer thickness remained stable. The transfer layer thickness correlates linearly with the friction coefficient and wear volume of the PTFE composites. With the increase of the transfer layer thickness, the friction coefficient decreased, while the wear volume increased, which means that a uniform, thin, and stable transfer layer is beneficial for the reduction of friction and wear of the polymeric composites.

In order to analyze the effect of proceeding on the mechanical and tribological properties of DLC films. Three DLC films samples on single silicon wafers were prepared by CVD method. The changed bias voltages were 300V, 350V, 450V separately. The structure and topography of prepared films were studied by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The hardness and elastic modulus together with friction coefficient of DLC films were measured by Tribolab system. According to the Raman spectra, the G and D peak shift to left with the increasing of bias voltage. Nano indent showed that the hardness (H) of the DLC films decreases from 19.63GPa to 18.12GPa with the increasing of bias voltages, and the value of elastic modulus (E) is also behaving the same trend as H from 157.95GPa to 146.95GPa. Friction coefficients of the three samples were measured by nano-scratch method under the constant normal load of 1000uN and the slide velocity of 3 um/sec, the corresponding friction coefficient is 0.0804 for DLC300, 0.0508for DLC350 and 0.0594 for DLC450 separately, which indicates that high hardness materials may not necessarily the perfect frictional material, but compound properties of hardness and elastic modulus

Composite of Nylon 66 with different proportions of microparticle Al2O3 were made by compounding on a twin screw extruder. The sliding wear and mechanical properties of the resulting microcomposite of 2 to 8 wt.% Nylon 66–Al2O3 were investigated. The study of sliding wear under different loads, velocity and sliding distance combinations was done using pin-on-disk equipment. The results show that wear rate reduces with addition of microparticles and lowest wear is exhibited by 2 wt.% Al2O3–Nylon 66 composite. The lowest friction coefficient is also observed for 2 wt.% Al2O3-Nylon 66 composite and the value increases with increasing load, sliding velocity and sliding distance. The mechanical properties such as flexural strength and modulus, tensile strength and modulus, compressive and impact strength improved with the addition of alumina and maximum values are observed for 6 wt.% composite. The heat deflection temperature of the microcomposite increased with increasing weight % of alumina. Scanning electron microscopy images of the worn surfaces were examined to understand the wear mechanism. The improved mechanical and tribological properties of Nylon 66–Al2O3 composite will enhance the application of plain Nylon 66.

The effective means to solve material wear is to develop self-lubricating composite materials with excellent tribological, thermal, and mechanical properties. Herein, the composites of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) nanosheet decorated with Silicon Carbide (SiC) were facilely prepared with employing a silane coupling agent, and the corresponding r-GO/SiC/thermosetting polyimide (r-GO/SiC/TPI) nanocomposite films were obtained by in situ polymerization method. The mechanical, tribological, and thermal properties of these nanocomposite films were investigated. When the content of r-GO/SiC was at 1.0 wt%, the compression strength and compression modulus of the composite increased by 37.7% and 47.3%, respectively, which were much higher than that of TPI composites addition of r-GO or SiC alone. Furthermore, r-GO/SiC/TPI composites also exhibited the lowest wear rate and friction coefficient in these reinforced TPI nanocomposites. When the content of r-GO/SiC was 0.8 wt%, particularly, the friction coefficient and wear rate of r-GO/SiC/TPI decreased by 22.8% and 79.8% compared to pure TPI, respectively. Additionally, trace amount r-GO/SiC hybrids also significantly enhance the thermal stability of TPI matrix. Compared to the polyimide composites reinforced by common nano-scale inorganic fillers, the outstanding mechanical and tribological properties of this r-GO/SiC/PI composites could be attributed to the ball on plane structure of GO/SiC, which lead to crack reflection, strength increment. These r-GO/SiC/TPI composites demonstrate the promising potential to be used as high-performance tribological materials in industry applications.
