Effect of carbon nanotube(CNT) on structure, strength and tribological behavior of CNT/PU composites is studied in the filler range of 5 vol%. It is found that differences in filler content used to determine the type of structure evolved and patterns of variation of mechanical properties, friction and wear in response to increasing filler content. It is found that wear of low-filled CNT/PU composites is dominated by delamination mechanism and wear resistance changes correlate with structural transformations of the composites. The maximum increase in wear resistance of the PU composites is reached at 2 vol% filling.

Alumina and both tetragonal and cubic zirconia based composites with various volume fractions of constituents as well as with addition of carbon nanofibers were prepared by EPD. Mechanical properties (hardness, Youngs modulus) were measured by depth sensing indentation methods and related to chemical composition. Tribological behavior was studied using pin-on-disc technique at room temperatures in air at dry sliding. Coefficient of friction and wear rates were measured, the types of wear regimes were observed and damage micromechanisms identified.

Abstract Aluminum alloy AA1100 has less wear resistance and mechanical properties than that of other aluminum alloys. This research work is on the fabrication of surface composites of AA1100 alloy by friction stir processing (FSP). The surface composites are fabricated by reinforcing hBN (hexagonal Boron Nitride) in AA1100 alloy to improve the mechanical and tribological properties. The influence of process parameters, rotational speed (rpm), and transverse speed (mm/min) on the microstructural evolution and properties of the fabricated surface composites is investigated.

Potential relations of tribological characteristics of aluminum antifriction alloys with their compositions and mechanical properties were investigated. In this regard, the properties of eight aluminum alloys containing tin from 5.4% to 11% doped with lead, copper, silicon, zinc, magnesium, and titanium were studied. Mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, relative extension, and impact strength were analyzed. Within the tribological tests seizure load and wear of material were evaluated and secondary structures were studied afterwards. The absence of a definitive correlation between tribological behavior and mechanical properties was shown. It was determined that doping tin over 6% is excessive. The seizure load of the alloys increases with the magnesium content. Secondary structures of the alloys with higher wear rates contain one order less magnesium and tin.

Incorporation of metallic elements, titanium and copper, into carbonaceous mesophase (CM) was performed through mechanical alloying in a ball mill apparatus. The structures of the raw CM as well as the Ti/Cu-added CM were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The tribological behavior of the Ti/Cu-added CM used as lubricating additives was investigated by using a high temperature friction and wear tester. The results show that, compared with the raw CM, the Ti/Cu-added CM exhibits a drop in the crystallinity and a transition to the amorphous. The Ti/Cu-added CM used as lubricating additive displays an obvious high temperature anti-friction and wear resistance effect, and the lager the applied load, the lower the friction coefficient and the wear severity.

The paper deals with the change in mechanical properties and wear of 1.2842 universal tool steel after plasma nitriding, which is widely used to produce cutting tools with good durability and low operating costs. Plasma nitriding was performed at a temperature of 500 °C for 10-hour period in a standard N2 /H2 atmosphere with 1:3 gases ratio. Microstructure, phase structure, thickness of a nitriding layer and surface roughness of samples were measured with optical microscopes and a profilometer. Verification of a chemical composition was carried out on the BAS TASMAN Q4 device. Wear resistance was measured on a universal TRIBOLAB UTM 3 tribometer, through a, “pin on disc“ method. The results of experiments have shown that plasma nitriding process, significantly improves the mechanical and tribological properties of selected materials.

W(100-x)%Cx% coatings with different tungsten and carbon contents were deposited by unbalanced magnetron sputtering. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the W(100-x)%C x% coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoindentation and adhesion testing techniques. The tribological performance of the coatings was investigated using a pin-on-disc trobometer under dry conditions. Experimental results indicated that coating microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance varied according to the tungsten and carbon contents of the coatings. The W72%C28% coating had the highest hardness/elastic modulus (H/E) ratio. In the ball-on-disc wear tests, it was found that the W72%C28% coating exhibited the best wear resistance.

AbstractMechanical and tribological properties of soft magnetic thin films with high permeability and low coercivity are very important for the application of these films in high-density recording heads. This paper reports our experimental observations on these important properties of FeTaN thin film head materials. Hardness(H) and Young’s modulus(E) for FeTaN sputtered films were determined by nanoindentation. Wear resistance of these films against commercial magnetic tapes was measured with a sphere-on-flat wear tester. The experimental results indicate that the FeTa films can be hardened when nitrogen is introduced. It was found in this study that the thermal stability of the mechanical properties such as hardness of thin films containing nitrogen is better than that of the film without nitrogen. However, our experiments also revealed that the wear resistance of FeTaN films decreases when the concentration of nitrogen increases and the hardness of the worn surface at a wear scar is lower than that of the unworn surface.

A number of experiments were conducted to measure the physical and mechanical properties of multielement coatings. To apply CrNiTiFeCu coatings on a nickel-chromium substrate, the technology of magnetron deposition in an atmosphere of argon or nitrogen was used. The results of measurements of the microhardness as well as the coefficients of friction and wear resistance of the applied CrNiTiFeCu thin films are presented. The findings indicate that the studied samples show a high microhardness and wear resistance. Consequently, there is a possibility to extend the lifespan of mechanisms and machines parts.

Five ZrO2-based composites (ZrO2-WC, ZrO2-TiCN and ZrO2-TiN grades) and five WC-Co cemented carbide grades were machined by wire-EDM and tested on a linearly reciprocating sliding pin-on-flat tribometer PLINT TE77 in dry conditions against WC-6wt%Co pins. Measurement of friction coefficient and penetration depth due to wear was performed continuously. The results revealed a strong influence of the secondary phase, surface finish, chemical and mechanical properties on the tribological characteristics of the ZrO2-based composites and cemented carbides. WC10Co(Cr/V) displayed superior wear resistance compared to the other grades. The lowest coefficient of friction was encountered with ZrO2-WC.

Two types of CuFe matrix composites with different reinforcements: silica and alumina particulates were developed using powder metallurgy. The mechanical properties were determined from Brinell hardness and flexural strength. The dry sliding friction and wear performance of the composites were investigated by the friction test. The results indicated that mechanical properties of alumina were superior to those of silica. The friction tests of the composites showed that the alumina reinforcement particle provides better braking performance. A wear track examination of composites showed that same abrasive wear. Our results indicated that composites with alumina reinforcement particles of high compatibility are to be preferred for braking performance.
