When applying coatings using various methods on the surfaces of moving parts that work in joints, it is important to make sure that the coatings are strong and wear-resistant in order to return them to their original resource. All existing hardening technologies and materials used to perform coatings have their own characteristics, therefore, the quality of the resulting coatings can be judged only after specific tests. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in evaluating the properties of the coating obtained by the method of electric spark hardening, and its ability to resist friction and mechanical wear. (Materials and methods) Authors conducted tests on the basis of the "Nano-Center" center for collective use. A coating was applied on the BIG-4M unit with a VK-8 hard alloy electrode, tribological properties were evaluated on a CSM Instruments TRB-S-DE-0000 tribometer, the width of the friction track was measured after the test using an inverted OLYMPUS gx51 optical microscope, and samples were weighed before and after the test on a VLR-200 analytical balance. Conducted research in accordance with GOST 23.224-86 and RD 50-662-88 guidelines. (Results and discussion) The article presents performed tests on the run-in and wear resistance of the coating. The samples were worked on with a step-by-step increase in the load. During the tests, the friction force was drawed on the diagram. Authors compared the results with the reference sample, an uncoated surface. (Conclusions) The resulting coating has better run-in and wear resistance compared to the standard, and the increase in wear resistance in dry friction conditions is very significant.

Antifriction Alloys

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.

Lead containing bronzes are widely used as bearings, bushings and sliding plates. Lead is a heavy metal and known to be harmful to people and environment, but currently no feasible substitute material exists in many engineering applications. The ecological considerations in recent years have led to restrictions by the European Commission on the use of lead for example in the bearings used in cars (The Directive on the end-of-life of vehicles). However, due to the lack of substitutes for lead in many application areas, the ban has been given an exemption. The aim of the ECOBEARINGS project was to evaluate, whether any metallic or composite bearing material has similar tribological and mechanical properties as the currently used standard lead bronzes. In heavy machine engineering, lead bronze alloys containing up to 10-20 % of Pb are commonly used as sliding bearings such as thrust and journal bearings. In lead bronzes, lead has a function of a solid lubricant especially during the start of the operation of the bearing. Additionally, lead bronzes form a soft sliding surface where small contamination particles can be embedded in the material without causing an abrasive effect. A variety of different lead-free bearing solutions are already commercially available, but there are many applications where the emergency lubricating properties of lead cannot be substituted yet. It has been proposed that other solid lubricants such as graphite or bismuth could possibly have similar tribological characteristics as lead in bronze bearing materials. In this work, bronze alloys containing solid lubricants such as bismuth and graphite were produced by casting and spray forming. The alloys were characterized and tribologically tested in boundary lubricated and dry sliding conditions. The results were compared with the testing results of lead bronze. On the basis of the results, it was noted that different solid lubricants have very special tribological characteristics. This information can be used in the further development of ecologically sound bearing materials.

Equiatomic and near equiatomic NiTi alloys, showing good mechanical and thermal shape memory properties, are widely exploited in different industrial applications. In addition, NiTi alloys have promising anti-cavitation and corrosion-resistance properties. These advantages have provided opportunities to exploit NiTi alloys as the coatings for protecting materials used in the industrial applications. This study is a preliminary investigation aiming to evaluate the feasibility to form NiTi alloy coatings on SS304 steel by tungsten inert argon arc welding (TIG) technology. The microstructure analysis shows that the crystalline phases in NiTi coatings on SS 304 steel are TiNi-B2, TiNi-B19’ and Ni3Ti. The potential of the NiTi coatings to enhance the corrosion resistance and cavitation resistance behaviors of steel exposed to seawater is studied. NiTi coatings, with two different thicknesses of about 1.2 and 2 mm, having homogenous microstructures were successfully deposited on SS304 steel using TIG technology. Results of tests, done in aqueous solutions simulating seawater, showed that the formation of the oxide films on the surface of NiTi coatings increased the corrosion resistance and wear resistance and decreased the damage caused by the cavitation. Moreover, it was understood that the NiTi coatings with 2 mm in thickness show the superior performances than those with 1.2 mm in thickness. The tribological mechanisms responsible for the unique properties of NiTi alloy coatings were investigated. The wear-resistance behaviors of NiTi alloy coatings are greatly influenced by the friction conditions. Increasing load decreased CoF and the wear rate of the coatings were almost constant, which was attributed to the pseudoelasticity of NiTi alloy. The attractive properties of NiTi alloys that makes it most influential materials for industrial applications have also been discussed.

Bush is one of machine and automobile parts like brake used in drums and hubs in particular. Such bush parts are used for bearings of heavy-duty, large cars requiring wear resistance and high load carrying capacity. High temperature diffusion bonding has been applied for holding the both materials of the bushing together, which are outer steel materials and inner composite-sintered bushings. Therefore, it is very important evaluate the bonding integrity in manufacturing process. A simulation has been performed in order to evaluate the maximum defect sizes. Also, ultrasonic C-scan tests were performed for finding the defect in the composite-sintered bushings with the size of inherent flaws.

We evaluated a degree of the machine part abrasive wear with secondary focus on their hardness. The paper states laboratory results of overlay systems from their wear resistance point of view. Laboratory experiments were carried out by two-body abrasion on bonded abrasive of a P120 granularity. The results proved an increased abrasive wear resistance of martensitic, ledeburitic and stellitic overlays against eleven different original products. The overlay UTP Ledurit 60 reached the optimum values. The GD-OES (Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy) method proved the different chemical composition of the overlay from the stated chemical composition of the overlaying electrode.
