polyacrylate/nano-silicon dioxide nanocomposites were fabricated through a simple mixing process for resisting scratch and wear as coating. Chemical compatibility between polyacrylate matrix and nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO2) was achieved by functionalized nano-SiO2 via three silane coupling agents. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was done to characterize surface and wear morphology of the nanocomposites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used for representing interfacial properties of the nanocomposites. A MM-200 machine and a Norman Tool RCA abrader were performed for testing friction and wear properties. SEM showed that incorporation of the nano-SiO2 functionalized with silane into the polyacrylate matrix showed a better dispersion than the composite without silane at low nanoparticle content (≤3 wt%). SEM also revealed that adhesive wear mechanism of the polyacrylate matrix was transited to dominated particle wear of the nanocomposites. An increase of glass transition temperature (Tg) was recorded via DSC at low nanoparticle content (1 wt%). Further addition of the nanoparticles to 3 wt% led to a 10°C increase in Tg comparing to neat polyacrylate. Results of friction and wear properties exhibited that friction coefficient and wear loss of the nanocomposites with silane were lower than those of the neat polyacrylate. The wear loss of the neat polyacrylate, the nanocomposite containing 3 wt% nanoparticles with silane KH570, and the nanocomposite with raw nano-particles were 108.6, 65.8, and 110.5mg, respectively. RCA results also showed a significant improvement of the nanocomposites in the presence of the nanoparticles with silane.

The friction and wear properties of an Al6061 alloy reinforced with carbon fibers (CF) modified with Cu-Ni bimetallic layers were researched. Cu-Ni double layers were applied to the CF by electroless plating and Al6061-matrix composites were prepared by powder metallurgy technology. The metal-CF/Al interfaces and post-dry-wear-testing wear loss weights, friction coefficients, worn surfaces, and wear debris were characterized. After T6 heat treatment, the interfacial bonding mechanism of Cu-Ni-CF changed from mechanical bonding to diffusion bonding and showed improved interfacial bonding strength because the Cu transition layer reduced the fiber damage caused by Ni diffusion. The metal–CF interfacial bonding strongly influenced the composite’s tribological properties. Compared to the Ni-CF/Al and Cu-CF/Al composites, the Cu-Ni-CF/Al composite showed the highest hardness, the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate, and the best load-carrying capacity. The wear mechanisms of Cu-Ni-CF/Al composite are mainly slight abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

Nb1-xTixSe2(x=0~1) micro/nano-particles have been successfully prepared via solid-state thermal (750°C) reaction between microsized Nb, Ti with Se powders under seal environment in a seal quartz tube and characterization by X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the morphologies of the as-prepared products changed from microplates to micro-nanoparticles or aggregations composed of layer structure with the doping of Ti. And the amount of regular hexagonal microplates evidently reduced and nanoscaled particles increased with the increase of the contents of Ti dopant within a certain limit (1-20 atwt. %). The tribological properties of the as-prepared products as additives in paraffin were investigated by UMT-2 multispecimen tribotester. By the addition of Nb1-xTixSe2micro/nanoparticles in paraffin, the antiwear ability was improved and the friction coefficient was decreased. The paraffin with Nb1-xTixSe2micro/nanoparticles showed better tribological properties than that with pure NbSe2. A combination of the molecule-bearing mechanism of sliding friction, and fill in-repair work between the rubbing surfaces can explain the good friction and wear properties of Nb1-xTixSe2micro/nanoparticles.

In order to improve the wear resistance and extend service life of aluminum alloy parts, the Ni-base alloy anti-wear coatings were prepared on the surfaces of 7A05 aluminum alloy by plasma spraying technology. The microstructure and interface of the coatings were analyzed, and the friction and wear properties of Ni-base alloy coatings and aluminum alloy substrates were investigated under dry friction condition at room temperature. The research results show that the main phases of Ni-base alloy coating are γ-Ni, CrB and Cr23C6. The thicknesses of diffusion layers existing between intermediate layer and coating, intermediate layer and substrate are respectively 15μm and 20μm. The bonding types of the coating and the substrate are mechanical combination accompanied with partially metallurgical combination. When wore against GCr15 steel balls, the average friction coefficient of the Ni-base alloy coatings is 11.6% lower than that of the aluminum alloy substrates, and the average wear loss of the former is 9.3mg, which is only 1/3 of that of the latter. With the increase of loads, the wear mechanisms of the Ni-base alloy coatings change from slightly micro-cutting wear and fatigue wear to abrasive wear and micro-fracture wear, while those of the aluminum alloy substrates are mainly adhesive wear and abrasive wear as well as slight oxidation wear.

A composite layer was prepared on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface by ion nitriding, magnetron sputtering Mo and ion sulfurizing composite treatment technique. The phase structure, morphology, and cross-sectional element distribution of composite layer were analyzed. Friction and wear properties of composite layer were tested by MM-200 laboratory tester. XRD analysis showed that the composite layer was mainly comprised of Ti, Mo, MoS2, TiN, and transition layer. This composite layer is perfect wear-resistant surface due to existence of self-lubricating MoS2 on hard Mo and TiN layers with good anti-friction ability. Thereby, the results of friction and wear test showed that anti-wear performance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy after composite treatment was remarkably improved under dry and sliding conditions. Both the friction coefficient and the wear loss of the nitriding-Mo plating-sulfurizing layers were lower than that of the nitriding layer due to the formation of the MoS2 layer on Mo and TiN layers.

To reduce the friction coefficient between impregnated diamond bit and rock, experiments on addition of graphite to the matrix material of bit cutters were conducted. The cutters were made up of diamond contained working layers and binding layers. The friction and wear properties of cutters and binding layers were investigated using a pin-on-disc friction & wear tester with granite as tribopair. The results showed that with addition of graphite, the hardness and friction coefficient of binding layer decreased, but its wear resistance increased; compared to cutters without graphite, those cutters containing graphite had lower wear loss and friction coefficient and their sliding wear process was much steadier, but diamond protrusion was still normal.

Variation in friction and wear properties with relative humidity was obtained with an Sn pin sample on a Cu disk at a constant speed (0.4 m/s), load (6.4 N), and sliding distance (5 km), using a pin-on-disk apparatus. The influence of atmosphere on the tribological properties was investigated, including moisture ranging from 4% to 95 percent relative humidity (RH). It was found that the wear loss of the pin sample is very large at low humidity of around 5 percent RH, but it decreases and reaches saturation at about 50 percent RH. Factors characterizing the friction and wear at 50 percent RH were examined along with surface analysis of the disk. The results showed that the extensive transfer of Sn from pin to disk occurs during sliding and that the friction and wear behavior is determined by the friction and wear of an Sn sliding on Sn. An examination was carried out with an Sn pin sample on a stainless steel disk in comparison with an Sn-Cu couple. It was concluded that the friction and wear behavior is determined by the properties of the film transferred to the disk surface.

Friction and wear processes of AgCuX ( G , CF and AlN ) composites- CuAgV alloy friction pair and effects of different additive content in silver based composite on friction and wear behavior are studied in this paper. The microstructure of the brush wear surface is observed by SEM. The results show that when graphite content is up to 9 wt.%, Ag - Cu - CF - G composite exhibits the best wear properties; when the content of aluminum nitride is up to 0.5 wt.%, Ag - Cu - AlN - G composites has the most comprehensive performance. The wear loss of both composites arises with the increase of both pressure and speed, but when speed reaches a critical value, the increased amplitude of wear loss tends to be steady.

In this study, the effects of nano-[Formula: see text] and carbon nanotubes on the friction and wear properties of carbon-epoxy woven composites have been explored. The unfilled carbon fabric composites and carbon fabric composites filled with carbon nanotubes and nano-[Formula: see text] were fabricated by vacuum infusion process. The worn surfaces were examined and possible wear mechanisms of unfilled and filled carbon fabric composites were discussed. In addition, the friction coefficient curves of unfilled and filled carbon fabric composites were analyzed and compared. The experimental results showed that either of the two nano-particles improved the friction coefficient and wear rate of carbon fabric composites; however, better improvement was observed for nano-SiO2. By adding these nano-particles to unfilled carbon fabric composites, a primary steady-state period with a low friction coefficient appeared in the friction coefficient curve of the composites, which indicates enhancement in bonding strength between carbon fiber and epoxy matrix due to the interfacial reinforcing action of the nano-particles.
