A hook is an important fishing net-weaving machine component that is used for making fishing net. During the production of fishing net, nylon fiber is in continuous contact with the hooks by sliding on the inner curve of the hooks that results in wear on the hooks. Weight loss of the hooks as the wear resistance measurement was collected to investigate the surface quality of the hooks. Presently, a wear testing machine for a fishing net-weaving machine component is not available for wear resistance study. Thus this work aimed to design and fabricate a wear testing machine that has a mechanism as similar to the actual working conditions as possible and so can provide accurate testing data. It has been proven that the wear testing machine built as a result of this study gave wear testing results extremely similar to those when testing on the actual fishing net-weaving machine.

Tribology behavior of Nanodiamond(ND) polyurethane(PU)/epoxy(EP) interpenetrating polymer networks hybrid materials were tested by friction wear testing machine. Results showed that when EP content was 30%, resultant PU/EP IPNs exhibited best wear resistance. For ND-PU/EP IPNs hybrids, when the ND addition was 0.2wt%, the best wear resistant ability was obtained. Under dry condition, the effect of wear parameters, such as rotational speed, load and central distance to friction and abrasion value were also investigated.

This work presents wear study on maraging steel developed by additive manufacturing using Direct Metal Laser Sintering, utilizing a laser beam of high-power density for melting and fusing the metallic powders. Short aging treatment was given to the specimen prior to the wear tests. The density and the hardness of the 3D printed maraging steel were found to be better than the homogenized-aged 18Ni1900 maraging steel. The wear resistance is an important aspect that influences the functionality of the components. The wear tests in dry condition were performed on maraging steel on pin/disc standard wear testing machine. The design of experiments was planned and executed based on response surface methodology. This technique is employed to investigate three influencing and controlling constraints namely speed, load, and distance of sliding. It has been observed that sliding speed and normal load significantly affects the wear of the specimen. The statistical optimization confirms that the normal load, sliding distance, and speed are significant for reducing the wear rate. The confirmation test was conducted with a 95% confidence interval using optimal parameters for validation of wear test results. A mathematical model was developed to estimate the wear rate. The experimental results were matched with the projected values. The wear test parameters for minimum and maximum wear rate have been determined.

The Fe-3Ti-xB-4C (x = 1.71, 3.42, 5.10, 6.85 wt. %) hardfacing alloys are deposited on the surface of a low-carbon steel by plasma transferred arc (PTA) weld-surfacing process. Microstructure, hardness and wear resistance have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rockwell hardness tester and abrasive wear testing machine, respectively. The results show that the microstructure in all alloys is composed of austenite, martensite, Fe23(C,B)6, Ti(C,B) and Fe2B. The volume fraction of eutectic borides and Ti(C,B) carbides increases with increasing B content. Many brittle bulk Fe2B phase arises when the boron content increases to 6.85%, which causes the formation of microcracks in the hardfacing layer. The microhardness of the hardfacing alloys is significantly improved with the B addition, however, the wear resistance of hardfacing alloys increases firstly and then decreases with increasing of B content. The hardfacing alloy with the 5.10% B content has the best wear resistance, which is attributed to high volume fraction of eutectic borides and fine Ti(C,B) particles distributed in the austenite and lath martensite matrix with high hardness and toughness. The formation of brittle bulk Fe2B particles in the hardfacing alloy with the 6.85% B leads to the fracture and spalling of hard phases during wear, thus, reducing the wear resistance.

Using stir-casting, the hybrid aluminium metal matrix composites are prepared with the reinforcement of SiC and graphite particulates by varying equally 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% by weight. The wear and frictional force for the prepared specimens were investigated through pin on disc wear testing machine. Exercising ANOVA technique, the wear rate and coefficient of friction was accomplished with the impact of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance. Using Taguchi technique, experiments have been performed depending on the design of experiments. For analysis of data L9 Orthogonal array was preferred. Wear resistance and frictional force were influenced majorly with the reinforcement of graphite. The morphology of the depleted surfaces and the wear fragments were analysed to recognize the wear property. Distinguished to other percentages of reinforcements, 6% wt. of SiC and 6% wt. of graphite has demonstrated high wear resistance.

Summary Sealing is a technical bottleneck that affects drilling efficiency and cost in deep, difficult-to-drill formations. The spiral combination seal with active sand removal performance is a new type of seal, and the wear mechanism is not clear, resulting in no effective design. In this study, the wear properties of materials were measured by a friction-and-wear testing machine, and the measurement methods and criteria of wear loss and friction coefficient were established. The fitting function of working condition and friction coefficient was studied by fitting regression method. The law of influence of working conditions on friction coefficient and wear amount was determined. The actual wear model and evaluation criteria of wear condition were established by using wear test data and geometric relationship. The relationship among working conditions, contact stress, and wear depth is determined by numerical simulation method, and the wear mechanism of the new seal is revealed, which provides a theoretical basis for its application.

The use of ion implantation as a surface treatment technology has been conquered by its applications to prevent wear and oxidation in metal alloys, even though some early works already pointed out that ion implantation could also be effective as a surface treatment for other materials, including polymers. Further research has shown that low dose implantation of energetic light ions could be very effective for improving properties such as wear resistance and hardness in many different polymers. Cross linking of polymeric chains due to ionization energy provided by the stopping process is the main mechanism to explain the changes in mechanical properties. According to this model the lighter the ion is, the stronger is the effect. This thesis presents the results obtained by nitrogen implantation in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). N+ ions were implanted at 80 keV, 100 keV and 120 keV energy levels which are maintained at a fluencies or dose of 5×1015 ions/cm2 . Wear resistance was measured using pin-on-disc wear testing machine at a constant load of 18 kg or 177N with a sliding speed of 2 m/s for about 1000m sliding distance. The results clearly show a lower weight and volume loses for samples implanted with nitrogen, in comparison to those implanted with untreated samples. Hence from the results of weight and volume loses of the treated or implanted samples with nitrogen ion, gives very good wear resistance than untreated samples.

TiCp/Al composites coating was in-situ synthesized on the L1060 alloy surface by TIG cladding. The microstructure and the phase of the coating were analyzed by OM, SEM, ADS and XRD, and the properties was been tested by micro-hardnessmeter and wear testing machine. The results show that the composite coating has no porosity, inclusions and other defects. The microstructure of the composite coating mainly consists of TiC particle and aluminum. Microstructural evidence suggests that the formation of TiC occur not only by reaction between Ti dissolved in Al and Al4C3, but also by reaction between C dissolved in Al and Al3Ti. The hardness of the composite coating obtained by TIG cladding is up to 120HV0.2. The wear resistance of composite coating is 1.6 times more than that of the matrix.

To improve the microstructure density of high-velocity arc spraying coating and enhance its adhesive strength and wear resistance, a plasma remelting investigation of the FeNiCrAl sprayed coating was carried out in this study. The microstructure and phase composition of the sprayed coating and the remelted coating were compared by using metalloscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. The microhardness distribution and friction wear characteristics of the plasma remelted FeNiCrAl sprayed coating were investigated by microhardness tester and CETR sliding friction wear testing machine. The results showed that the remelted coating has more compact microstructure and presents metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The generation of hard phases such as (Fe,Cr)7C3 and Cr23C6 as well as solid solution (Fe,Cr) increases the microhardness of the remelted coating significantly, about 1.4 times higher than that of the sprayed coating. According to sliding friction wear test, the abrasion losses of the sprayed coating under 10 N and 20 N loads are 4.6 and 10.5 times higher than those of the remelted coating, indicating the better wear resistance of the remelted coating.
