The Cu-based friction materials with nano-AlN (n-AlN) and nano-graphite (n-C) were prepared by powder metallurgy technology, respectively. The microstructures and friction performance were studied through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and friction tester rig, respectively. The results indicate that the n-AlN and n-C particles can enhance the properties of Cu-based friction materials remarkably. Compared with the friction materials without any nanometer materials, the wear resistance of the friction materials with n-AlN and n-C has been improved by 25 % and 11 %, respectively. The heat resistance of the materials with n-AlN and n-C has been improved 18 % and 25 %, respectively. The n-AlN and n-C particles can reduce the abrasive wear and enhance the wear resistance of the Cu-based friction materials.

The commercial greases for bearing applications should meet the requirements of the severe conditions of use (high load, low friction and low noise etc.). A kind of overbased calcium sulfonate complex greases was evaluated using an UMT-II friction tester, the commercial lithium greases as reference. The morphologies of the worn surfaces were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the overbased calcium sulfonate complex greases have stable friction coefficients as low as 0.090-0.094. At the same time, the overbased calcium sulfonate complex greases exhibited higher wear resistance than that of commercial lithium greases.

The Cu-based friction material with Ni coated nanometer SiO2 (Ni/n-SiO2) particles was prepared by the powder metallurgy technology. Friction properties of the friction materials were evaluated by a friction tester. The microstructure and worn morphology were characterized by optical microscope (OM) and scanning electric microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the microstructure is uniform. The Ni/n-SiO2 particles can enhance the wear ability of Cu-based friction materials. The wear rate of the friction material with Ni/n-SiO2 is 6.58 times of that without Ni/n-SiO2. The main wear mechanisms are abrasive wear and adhesive wear, and Ni/n-SiO2 particles can reduce the abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

To prepare a kind of Fe-Cu-based friction material with good friction performance and wear resistance, and apply it to the brake structure of automobile machinery, the powder metallurgy method is used to prepare the friction materials in the standard with 4% Ni, 4% Mo and 2% Sn as the auxiliary material, SiC, Al2O3, and zircon sand as the basic friction material, 8% graphite and 3% MoS2 as the lubricating component. Meanwhile, 50% Fe and 20% Cu is used for the preparation of friction materials. The friction and wear resistance can be increased by increasing the carbon fiber content of 0-8% concentration of the material. The results show that the friction coefficient of the Fe-Cu-based friction material is relatively gentle after the addition of 2% carbon fiber, and the compactness peaks, reaching 93.3%. Its shear strength and impact strength peak, which are 37.42Mpa and 6.7J/cm2 respectively. 4% carbon fiber material with a hardness of 120.2 HV is the hardest one, followed by 2% carbon fiber material with a hardness of 118.1 HV. Added with 2% carbon fiber, the abrasion amount of the friction-based material is 0.0027 g at room temperature and-0.0008 g at 400°C after 60 minutes respectively. With all indicators considered, the result shows that the friction performance and wear resistance of Fe-Cu-based friction materials can be increased by adding 2% carbon fiber during the preparation of basic friction materials.

Over the past decades, the combination of energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays and scanning electron microscopy has proved to be a powerful tool for fast and reliable elemental characterization of a large variety of specimens. The technique has evolved rapidly from a purely qualitative characterization method to a reliable quantitative way of analysis. In the last 5 years, an increasing need for automation is observed, whereby energy-dispersive analysers control the beam and stage movement of the scanning electron microscope in order to collect digital X-ray images and perform unattended point analysis over multiple locations.The Philips High-speed Analysis of X-rays system (PHAX-Scan) makes use of the high performance dual-processor structure of the EDAX PV9900 analyser and the databus structure of the Philips series 500 scanning electron microscope to provide a highly automated, user-friendly and extremely fast microanalysis system. The software that runs on the hardware described above was specifically designed to provide the ultimate attainable speed on the system.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanocomposites filled with alumina nanoparticles were prepared by compression molding and follow-up sintering. The tribological behaviors of PTFE nanocomposites sliding against GCr15 steel were evaluated using ball-on-disk tribology test rig. The worn surfaces of the unfilled and filled PTFE nanocomposite were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The wear behavior of the PTFE nanocomposites was explained in terms of the topography of worn surfaces. It was found that the addition of alumina nanoparticles was effective in enhancing the wear resistance of the PTFE nanocomposite.

Due to environmental concerns, lead-free solders were introduced to replace the lead-based solders in microelectronics devices technology. Although there are many lead-free solders available, the Sn-Ag-Cu solders are considered the best replacement due to their good wettability and joint strength. Although the Sn-Ag-Cu solders are accepted widely, but there are still some room for improvement. In this study, 1wt% Zn, which can be considered high percentage for a dopant, was added into the solder via powder metallurgy route. The effects of adding this dopant into the Sn-3.5Ag-1.0Cu solder on the interface intermetallic and thickness were investigated. The intermetallics phases formed were observed under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and their thicknesses were measured. The SEM results showed the presence of Cu6Sn5, Cu3Sn and (Cu,Zn)6Sn5 intermetallics. It can be concluded that Zn behaved as retarding agent and significantly retarded the growth of Cu-Sn intermetallics.

Effect of the tempering on the microstructures and tribological properties of the laser alloying coatings is investigated. Laser alloying of the T - Co 50/ TiC mixed powders on a 45 steel substrate can form a hard composite coating, which increased the micro-hardness and wear resistance of the substrate greatly. Such laser alloying coating was investigated by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Experimental results indicate that the tempering is able to remove the accumulation of the residual stress in a certain extent, improving the plastic and toughness properties of such coating; moreover, tempering also improves greatly the formation mechanism, making the coating have enough ability of the intensity transfer, which is beneficial in preventing the crack propagation of the interface in such coating, leading to an improvement of the wear resistance.

In the present work, the development of flyash-based friction composites for replacing asbestos material was systematically proposed. In order to solve the high-testing cost and time consuming problem in design formulation process, the mechanical properties of composites were first investigated with regarding to the contents of phenolic resin, friction modifiers and aramid fibers. Friction performances were continually tested with the samples optimized mechanical properties. When considering the results of mechanical testing, it was observed that the elastic modulus and compressive strength decreased with increasing resin fractions in the corresponding test ranges. On the other hand, an addition of friction modifiers and fiber contents can be contributed the mechanical strength. In the friction performance results, an addition of 2.5 wt% fibers showed enhancing of friction coefficient and decreasing of wear resistance at elevated temperature ranges of 100 oC to 200°C. Conversely, the composite filled with 5.0 wt% aramid fiber presented the stability of friction efficient in ranges of 0.56-0.57 and also gave better wear resistance lower than 0.39×10-7 cm3/N.m.
