An experimental study on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire was carried out on a pin-on-disc frictional tester with and without windy conditions. The result shows that wear rate of pin specimen increases observably with increasing sliding distance with and without windy conditions. While the coefficient of friction slightly decreases with increasing of electric current with and without the wind. Observing the SEM morphology of pin specimens, it can be found that delamination wear is a main wear mechanism under no windy condition. While arc erosion is a dominant wear mechanism with windy condition. Worn surfaces of the materials were analyzed by an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It can be observed that oxidation wear occurs in the frictional process due to arc erosion and high temperature rise.

An experimental study on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire was carried out on a pin-on-disc frictional tester under electric current. The result indicates that the coefficient of friction slowly increases with increasing of electric current. The value of friction coefficient is low, generally not more than 0.125. The wear volume of pin specimen increases with increasing of electric current. The wear volume of pin specimen is very low, generally not more than 0.075g. Through observing the SEM morphology of worn specimens, it can be found that there are obvious pits of arc ablation and traces of melting metal on worn surface. Worn surfaces of the worn specimens are analyzed by an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It can be observed that the oxidation wear occurs in the frictional process due to arc erosion and significant temperature rise. Therefore the arc erosion and oxidation wear are a main wear mechanism accompanied by materials transferring in the process of electrical sliding friction.

The surface of Ti6Al4V alloy was rapidly carburized by high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating under vacuum. The microstructure and hardness of the carburized layer were studied. The wear properties of the carburized layer were tested at 50, 100 and 200 rpm using the end face friction and wear device, and the wear mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the TiC strengthening phase was formed on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy after high-frequency induction carburization, and the surface grains were refined. The surface hardness reaches 1116 HV0.25, but the brittleness of the carburized layer increases with increasing temperature. The amount of wear was reduced by 54% at 100 rpm. The roughness of the wear scar was reduced from 3.26 μm to 2.28 μm of Ti6A14V alloy matrix. The coefficient of friction and wear rate increases with increasing speed. The wear mechanism was transformed from adhesive wear and oxidative wear of the substrate to abrasive wear after carburizing.

A series of experiments on friction and wear properties of carbon strip rubbing against copper contact wire is performed on high-speed friction and wear tester with electric current. The results show that the friction coefficient is generally maintained between 0.24 and 0.37. In the absence of electric current, the coefficient of friction is higher than that in the presence of electric current. The wear rate of carbon strip materials is generally not more than 0.014g/km. In particular, the wear rate under the electric current of 240 A is 14 times more than that in the absence of electric current. By observing the scar of worn surface with optical microscope, it can be found that there are obvious slip scars and arc erosive pits. The dominated wear mechanisms are abrasive wear and arc erosion in electrical sliding frictional process.

Using C/C composite and chrome bronze as a friction couple, the frictional wear properties of C/C composite with electric current is studied in this paper. The results have shown that current, velocity and load are important factors to affect the frictional wear properties of C/C composite with electric current. Wear rate of C/C composite increases with the increase of arc energy .The coefficient of friction and the wear rate increase with the increase of velocity when the electric current is constant of 100A. The coefficient of friction increases but the wear rate decreases with the increase of load when the electric current is constant at 100A. The coefficient of friction decreases but the wear rate increases with the increase of current when the load is constant of 80N. Comparing with no electric current, the coefficient of friction of C/C composite with electric current decreases but the wear rate of that increases obviously. The wear mechanism of C/C composite is mainly of electric wear caused by arc erosion under the condition of current-carrying.

Dry sliding friction and wear behavior of single-wall (SW) and multi-wall (MW) carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/ vinylester composite have been investigated, under several loads and sliding speeds. Three different contents (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 wt. %) of SWCNT and MWCNTs have been dispersed into the vinylester resin in order to obtain polymer nanocomposites. The present study discusses the coefficient of friction, specific wear rate and friction stability of vinylester composites with different CNTs content, using a pin-on-disc test. The friction and wear experiments were carried out following 3 loads×3 speeds, as test parameters. The best combination of friction and wear properties was found with the nanocomposite containing 0.2 wt.% MWCNT. Keywords: carbon nanotubes, vinylester, friction, wear

The friction and wear properties of nanocrystalline cobalt (nc Co) with a grain size of 20±5 nm and a hardness of 503±13 HV were studied using a pin-on-disc tribometer. Tests performed under unlubricated sliding conditions in ambient air showed that large tribolayer area covered the nc Co’s wear track. The oxygen concentration of the tribolayer was higher than that formed on contact surfaces of microcrystalline cobalt (mc Co) with a grain size of 16±3 μm and a hardness of 299±8 HV tested under the same conditions, due to the higher tendency of nc Co for oxidation. Higher rate of oxidational wear in nc Co resulted in higher initial surface damage in this material compared to the mc Co. Once the tribolayer was formed on top of the contact surfaces, a steady-state wear regime prevailed, reducing the coefficient of friction (COF) and the wear rate in this sample.

This work is devoted to the study of the high temperature friction and wear behaviors of Cu-based friction pairs in wet clutches under different temperatures, rotation speeds, and loads. Pin-on-disc tests are carried out on the UMT-3. The friction coefficient, wear factor, and high temperature wear mechanism are primarily analyzed. The results show that as the temperature rises from 120°C to 420°C, the friction coefficient increases from 0.28 to 0.35 at first and then decreases to 0.30, when the vibration of friction coefficient is significantly identified. Meanwhile, the wear factor grows gradually from K=7.9×10-8 g/Nm to K=41.8×10-8 g/Nm at first and then grows sharply to K=112.2×10-8 g/Nm. The main wear mechanisms are abrasive wear and ploughing wear when the temperature is below 345°C, and the wear seriously deteriorates when the temperature exceeds 345°C, when the wear mechanism changes to adhesive wear and delamination wear.

In this paper, the fretting wear properties of 20CrMnTi steel, a common material for a rocker bracket, was discussed for the first time after it was suffered carburizing treatment. Subsequently, the fretting wear behaviors of virgin, quenched, and carburized states were studied. The effect of loads (corresponding to different engine power output) and reciprocating frequencies (corresponding to different engine speed) on wear behaviors and mechanisms of carburized specimen were further discussed. The results showed that the coefficient of friction (CoF) and wear volume loss (WVL) of the carburized specimens were significantly lower than that of virgin and quenched states. During the wear test, the surface CoF decreased gradually with the increase of applied load, while the linear correlation trend was not observed with the increase of fretting frequency as it showed an increase first and then a decrease. It was observed that the WVL increased gradually with the increase of load and frequency. With an increase of the load, the wear mechanism gradually deteriorated from the initial adhesive wear to the mixed wear mechanism. When the load was high, the oxidative wear became more severe. However, no significant effect of frequency was observed on the wear mechanism.
