Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and hot pressed sintering. The mechanical properties and wear resistance were studied. The results show that Fe-28Al bulk material is mainly characterized by the low ordered B2 Fe3Al structure with some dispersed Al2O3 particles. The mechanical properties such as the hardness and strength of Fe-28Al-10Ti are significantly improved compared with Fe-28Al, which is attributed to the grain refinement and solid solution reinforcing with the addition of Ti element. The fracture mode is mainly the intergranular fracture. Fe-28Al-10Ti exhibits more excellent wear resistance than Fe-28Al, especially after long distance sliding wear test. There is difference in wear mechanisms of Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys. Under the load of 100N, there is obvious plastic deformation on the worn surface of Fe-28Al. Micro-crack and layer splitting occur on the surface of Fe-28Al. The main wear performance of Fe-28Al-10Ti is particle abrasion, the characteristics of which are micro cutting and micro furrows.

Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and hot pressing. The phases and dry sliding wear behavior were studied. The results show that Fe-28Al bulk materials are mainly characterized by the low ordered B2 Fe3Al structure with some dispersed Al2O3 particles. Fe-28Al-10Ti exhibits more excellent wear resistance than Fe-28Al, especially after long distance sliding wear test. There are obvious differences in wear mechanisms of Fe-28Al and Fe-28Al-10Ti alloys under different testing conditions. Under the load of 100N, there is plastic deformation on the worn surface of Fe-28Al. The main wear performance of Fe-28Al-10Ti is particle abrasion, the characteristics of which are micro cutting and micro furrows, but micro-crack and layer splitting begin to form on the surface of Fe-28Al. Under the load of 200N, serious plastic deformation and work-hardening lead to rapid crack propagation and eventually the fatigue fracture of Fe-28Al. Plastic deformation is the main wear mechanism of Fe-28Al-10Ti under the load of 200N, which are characterized by micro-crack and small splitting from the worn surface.

Wear-resistant Cu-based solid-solution-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy with a microstructure consisting of predominantly the dual-phase primary dendrites with a Cr5Si3 core encapsulated by CrSi phase and a small amount of interdendritic Cu-based solid solution (Cuss) was designed and fabricated by the laser melting process using Cr–Si–Cu elemental powder blends as the precursor materials. The microstructure of the Cuss-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy was characterized by optical microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The Cuss-toughened silicide alloys have excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction under room temperature dry sliding wear test conditions with hardened 0.45% C carbon steel as the sliding–mating counterpart.

Reciprocating sliding wear test of uncoated titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V is investigated using pin-on-flat contact arrangement of Ti-6Al-4V/Ti-6Al-4V pair under variable number of cycles at low number of cycles. The worn surfaces of the titanium alloy specimens were analyzed with the use of optical microscope (2D and 3D OM) and Vickers Hardness analysis was carried on. The pattern of the wear scar characteristics determined and the finding at the end of wear track had been focus through the presence at the end of wear track. It is suggesting an evidence of plastic deformation with the increasing in hardness value. The increase in hardness value at the end of wear track indicates increase in the plastic deformation with increasing number of cycles.

In this work, ultrahigh carbon steels (UHCS) obtained by powder metallurgy with CIP and argon sintered at 1150°C. Then, they were rolled at 850 °C with a reduction of 40 %. Finally, steels were quenched at 850 and 1000 °C in oil. In each step, hardness, bending strength and wear performance were evaluated. Obtained results are justified with a metallographic study by SEM. Both mechanical properties and wear resistance are highly favoured with the thermomechanical treatment that removes the porosity of the material. Moreover, final quenching highly hardens the material. The obtained material could be used as matrix for tool steels.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure, mechanical properties, abrasion and wear resistance of WC-Co nanocomposites synthesized by the spray conversion technique by McCandlish, Kear and Kim have been investigated. The binder phase of WC-Co nanocomposites is enriched in W and C, compared to conventional cermets. Small amorphous regions exist in the binder despite the slow cooling after liquid phase sintering. Few dislocations are found in the WC grains. The increased WC content and the amorphous regions modify (i.e. strengthen) the binder phase of the composites. Vickers indentation measurements show a hardness of the nanocomposites reaching 2310 kg/mm2. While the toughness of conventional cermets decreases with increasing hardness, the toughness does not decrease further as the WC grain size decreases from 0.7 to 0.07 μm. but remains constant at 8 MPam1/2. Scratches caused by a diamond indenter are small, commensurate with their hardness. These scratches are ductile, devoid of the grain fracture that is observed with conventional materials. The abrasions resistance of nanocomposites is about double that of conventional materials, although their hardness is larger by 23% only. This is due to the lack of WC grain fragmentation and removal which takes place in conventional cermets. Sliding wear resistance of WC/Co is proportional to their hardness; no additional benefit of nanostructure is obtained. This results from the very small size of adhesive wear events in even large WC grains.

The sliding wear behavior of Cu-Ag alloy in Cu cladding Al contact wire against 45# steel or bronze block was tested, then surface morphology was investigated in different load and velocity. The results indicated that the worn surface had plastic deformation and many clear furrows and cutting traces along the sliding direction. There were black oxide of copper on the worn surface. The oxide was both abrasive and lubrication. The mechanisms transformed from abrasive attrition into adhesive wear. Spalling pits and adhesive blocks with bronze friction were significantly bigger than that of steel, and the mechanisms was adhesive wear.

In this study, surface Cr-Nb alloying was realized on γ-TiAl using double glow plasma hollow cathode discharge technique. An inter-diffusion layer was generated under the surface, composed of Cr2Nb intermetallic compounds. After Cr-Nb alloying, the surface nanohardness of γ-TiAl increased from 5.65 to 11.61 GPa. The surface H/E and H3/E2 increased from 3.37 to 5.98 and from 0.64 to 4.15, respectively. Cr-Nb alloying and its effect on fretting wear were investigated. The surface treatment resulted in improved plastic deformation and fretting wear resistance of γ-TiAl. The fretting wear test showed that an average friction coefficient of γ-TiAl against Si3N4 ball was significantly decreased after Cr-Nb alloying. The fluctuation of friction coefficient during running-in stage was significantly improved. The friction behavior of both γ-TiAl before and after Cr-Nb alloying could be divided into distinctive stages including formation of debris, flaking, formation of crack, and delamination. It was observed that the high hardness, resistance to plastic deformation, and fatigue resistance of γ-TiAl after Cr-Nb alloying could inhibit the formation of debris and delamination during friction test. The fretting wear scar area and the maximum wear scar depth were decreased, indicating that the wear resistance of γ-TiAl has been greatly improved after Cr-Nb alloying. The results indicated that plasma surface Cr-Nb alloying is an effective way for improving the fretting wear resistance of γ-TiAl in aviation area.

Aluminium matrix composites (AMC) are gaining wide popularity in various sectors due to their excellent properties which are synergic. Apart from strength, wear resistance of a material is also an essential criterion for the number of applications. Extensive studies are being carried out on the secondary processing of these materials to enhance the suitability of the AMC for engineering applications. In this study, initially, Al 2014 base alloy and their composites with 5, 10, and 15 wt.% SiCp fabricated by stir casting route were subjected to wear test. Based on the encouraging wear performance, the Al-10 wt.% SiC composite was further subjected to extrusion. Pin-on-disc sliding wear tests on the as-cast & extruded base alloy and the composite samples were carried out at a constant load of 20 N for a total sliding distance of 1000 m with a velocity of 2 m/s. Microhardness and porosity measurements were carried out besides the study of wear performance, such as coefficient of friction and wear by weight loss. The worn surfaces were analyzed both by optical and scanning electron microscopes. The effect of particle addition, extrusion, porosity, and microhardness on the wear performance of the samples was discussed. Among the samples studied, the Al-10 wt.% SiC composite extruded at a ratio of 8:1 is found to have the highest wear resistance.

The dry sliding wear performance of hypereutectic A390 Al—Si alloy reinforced with graphite particulates (Grp) was investigated. Composites containing 4 and 8 wt% of Grp were produced by rheocasting technique followed by squeeze casting. Pins of the materials were rubbed against a 316 stainless steel disc using pin-on-ring type apparatus under various loads and speeds. It has been observed that both wear rate and the coefficient of friction of the composites decreased considerably with Grp additions. The A390/Grp composites exhibited higher wear resistance than those obtained for the monolithic A390 alloy. The formation of the hard tribo-layer on the surface of the composites assisted in increasing the wear resistance of these materials. It is believed that the reduction of the friction coefficient is attributed the presence of the graphite layers within the tribo-layer.
