In order to improve the wear resistance of Ti2AlNb orthorhombic alloy, the carburized coating has been successfully prepared on Ti2AlNb alloy by double glow plasma technology. The microstructure, chemical composition and phase structure o f the carburized coating were analyzed by means of SEM, EDS and XRD. The Micro hardness of the alloy layer was measured, and the bond strength of carburized coating with substrate was also evaluated by scratch test. The tribological behaviors of layer were investigated by friction-wear test. The results show that a carburized layer is formed which is about 40μm and the content of C gradient decrease after double glow plasma carburizing, the Micro hardness of the layer is 1051 HV0.1 and the bond of the coating is 62N, the tribological behavior of layer is much better than matrix.

The tribological behavior of Ni-based WC-Co coatings is analyzed. The coatings were deposited on gray cast iron substrates in a spray and fuse process using SuperJet Eutalloy deposition equipment, varying the oxygen flow conditions in the flame. The crystallographic structure of the coatings was characterized via the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The microhardness was measured on the surface and in cross sections of the coatings by means of a Knoop microhardness tester. The topography and the morphological characteristics of the coatings and the tribo-surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal microscopy, while the chemical composition was measured by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The tribological behavior of the coatings was examined via a cohesion-adhesion scratch test, using cross sections of the coatings. Furthermore, two wear tests were carried out, using the pin-on-disk method under ASTM G99 standard and an ASTM standard G65 sand/rubber wheel abrasion wear test. The wear of the coatings showed a close relationship to the porosity in the metal matrix; since then, in the abrasive wear test, a high porosity is related with lower hardness in the coatings; likewise, a low hardness is related with a high wear.

In this paper, accumulative roll bonding (ARB) has been used to prepare the Al/Mg alloy multilayer structure composite materials with 1060Al sheet and MB2 sheet. The evolution of microstructure of the cladding materials during ARB processes was observed by optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and micro-hardness was measured by micro-hardness tester. The results show that a multilayer structure material of Al/Mg alloy with excellent bonding characteristics and fine grained microstructure was prepared by ARB processes. With the ARB cycles increasing, Mg alloy layer in multilayer composite material was necked and fractured, and the hardness of the Al and Mg alloy was increased. Average grain size was less than 1μm after ARB4 cycles.

Conventional titanium alloy may be ignited and burnt under high temperature, high pressure and high gas flow velocity condition. In order to avoid this problem, a new kind of burn-resistant titanium alloy-double glow plasma surface alloying burn-resistant titanium alloy has been developed. Alloying element Mo is induced into the Ti-6Al-4V substrate according to double glow discharge phenomenon, Ti-Mo binary burn-resistant alloy layer is formed on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The depth of the surface burn-resistant alloy layer can reach about 100 microns and alloying element concentration can reach 59%. High energy laser ignition experiments reveal that the ignition temperature of alloyed layer with Mo concentration about 10% is about 200°C higher than ignition temperature of Ti-6Al-4V.

In the present study, the statistical analysis on tribological behavior of RZ5/TiB2 magnesium-based metal matrix composites is carried out using Taguchi design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique. Taguchi analysis using signal-to-noise ratio indicates that the sliding distance and wt.% TiB2 are the most significant factors in evaluating weight loss and coefficient of friction, respectively. The regression equation is formulated utilizing the ANOVA technique to study the output responses based on the input abrasive wear test experimental results. The regression equation is validated through a comprehensive study taking a series of abrasive wear tests and indicates the percentage deviation of regression modeling is in the range of ± 10%. The individual and combined effect of wear parameters on tribological behavior are investigated through the main effect plots and response surface plots. The micrograph of the worn surface of RZ5/TiB2 composites is studied using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), indicating the formation of an oxide layer on the worn surface.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is widely used to process hard materials in the industry. The process of electrical discharge is changed and called PMEDM when alloy powder is added in the oil dielectric. In the current study, the effect of tungsten carbide alloy powder added in the dielectric on the surface roughness (Ra) and the micro hardness of surface (HV) status of the workpiece SKD61 after machining is investigated. Studies show that the surface roughness and the micro hardness of surface obtained by PMEDM is generally better than that by normal EDM. The method can be applied for improving surface quality such as improving strengthening of molds and machine parts.

The formed transfer film on the counterpart surface and tribological properties of PTFE composites filled with Al2O3 or SiO2 were investigated in this paper. The results indicated that under the same friction conditions, the friction coefficients of SiO2/PTFE and Al2O3/PTFE are very close to each other, but the wear resistance of SiO2/PTFE is superior to that of Al2O3/PTFE. According to the measured data, the micro-hardness and elastic modulus of the transfer film for SiO2/PTFE are much better than those of Al2O3/PTFE. In addition, the interfacial adhesion strength between the transfer film of SiO2/PTFE and the counterface is higher. It can be proved that the mechanical properties of transfer films for PTFE composites vary with different fillers and the friction transfer film with better adhesion strength and mechanical property is useful to improve the tribological properties of the composite.

0.4C–13Cr stainless steel was alloyed with niobium using double glow plasma surface alloying and tribological properties of Nb-alloyed steel such as hardness, friction and wear were measured. Effects of the alloying temperature on microstructure and the tribological behavior of the alloyed steel were investigated compared with untreated steel. Formation mechanisms of Nb-alloyed layers and increased wear resistance were also studied. The result shows that after surface Nb-alloying treatment, the 0.4C–13Cr steel exhibits a diffusion adhesion at the alloyed layer/substrate interface and improved tribological property. The friction coefficient of Nb-alloyed steel is decreased by about 0.3–0.45 and the wear rate after Nb-alloying is only 2–5% of untreated steel.

Purpose Aluminium is the most preferred material in engineering structural components because of its excellent properties. Furthermore, the properties of aluminium may be enhanced through metal matrix composites and an in-depth investigation on the evolved properties is needed in view of metallurgical, mechanical and tribological aspects. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of TiC addition on the tribological behavior of aluminium composites. Design/methodology/approach Aluminium metal matrix composites at different weight percentage of titanium carbide were produced through powder metallurgy. Produced composites were subjected to sliding wear test under dry condition through Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal design. Findings Optimal process condition to achieve the minimum wear rate was identified though the main effect plot. Sliding velocity was identified as the most dominating factor in the wear resistance. Practical implications The production of components with improved properties is promoted efficiently and economically by synthesizing the composite via powder metallurgy. Originality/value Though the investigations on the wear behavior of aluminium composites are analyzed, reinforcement types and the mode of fabrication have their significance in the metallurgical and mechanical properties. Thus, the produced component needs an in-detail study on the property evolution.

Using the processes of field-activated and pressure-assisted combustion synthesis (FAPACS), FGM materials (FGMs) were prepared under the conditions of field-assisted and the hot-press. The microstructure and the phase composition of the interface of the graded materials were investigated and the results showed that the metallurgical joining layer was formed in the interfaces of the (TiB2)pNi/Ni3Al/405 steel. The mechanical characterization of the gradient materials showed that the composition and the micro-hardness of the gradient material were gradient distributed, and its surface Rockwell hardness and wear resistance are better than that of hardened 20Cr steel.
