The friction and wear of the silicon carbide (SiC) and hot pressed silicon nitride (Si3N4) against zirconia (Y–TZP) sliding under dry friction and room temperature conditions were investigated with pin-on-disk tribometer at sliding speed of 0.56 m·s-1 and normal load of 50 N, 80 N and 120 N, respectively. It was found that, the coefficient of friction and wear rate are dependent on the test duration as well as the normal load. Through analyzing and comparing, the wear rates of the two frictional couples both are in the 10-6 mm3 (N·m)-1. Based on the variety regulation of the wear maps, the wear mechanisms of the two couples were analyzed. Between the two couples, the friction and wear characteristics of the SiC/ZrO2 couple are better than the Si3N4/ZrO2 couple’s.

Owing to the superior properties of stainless steel it is pertinent to make use of it in various applications of automotive, aerospace, nuclear, chemical and cryogenic products. This paper describes a study of friction characteristics of SUS304 and SUS630 stainless steel disk specimens against silicon nitride Si3N4 ball in dry, grease-, and oil-lubricated conditions and wear characteristics in dry condition in sliding contact. The ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technology was applied to those disk specimens and its friction and wear properties were compared with polished one. The experiment was conducted with a pin-on-disk tribo tester using ball-on-disk contact geometry at room temperature. The experiment results show that in dry, greased- and oil-lubrication conditions the coefficient of friction of UNSM-treated specimens was lower and constant than polished specimens and in dry condition the wear rate was also smaller than polished one. Micro dimples made by UNSM treatment contribute those effects.

Friction and wear contribute to high energetic losses that reduce the efficiency of mechanical systems. However, carbon alloyed transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD-C) coatings possess low friction coefficients in diverse environments and can self-adapt to various sliding conditions. Hence, in this investigation, a semi-industrial magnetron sputtering device, operated in direct current mode (DC), is utilized to deposit several molybdenum-selenium-carbon (Mo-Se-C) coatings with a carbon content up to 60 atomic % (at. %). Then, the carbon content influence on the final properties of the films is analysed using several structural, mechanical and tribological characterization techniques. With an increasing carbon content in the Mo-Se-C films, lower Se/Mo ratio, porosity and roughness appeared, while the hardness and compactness increased. Pin-on-disk (POD) experiments performed in humid air disclosed that the Mo-Se-C vs. nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) friction is higher than Mo-Se-C vs. steel friction, and the coefficient of friction (CoF) is higher at 25 °C than at 200 °C, for both steel and NBR countersurfaces. In terms of wear, the Mo-Se-C coatings with 51 at. % C showed the lowest specific wear rates of all carbon content films when sliding against steel. The study shows the potential of TMD-based coatings for friction and wear reduction sliding against rubber.

The effect of various operational factors, such as sliding speed, normal load and temperature on the tribological properties of Date palm fruit syrup (DPFS) as an environmentally friendly lubricant, is investigated. Ball-on-disc wear tests are conducted on mild steel samples in the presence of DPFS as a lubricant under different conditions and the coefficient of friction and wear rate are measured. Scanning electron microscopy, stylus profilometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to evaluate the wear tracks to determine the underlying wear mechanisms. Results showed that DPFS has excellent tribological properties in terms of low friction and low wear rates making it a potential candidate to be used as a lubricant in tribological applications.

The effects of phosphorus on the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-5 at. percent Sn-P alloys containing 1–5 at. percent P were studied using a pin on disc apparatus. The results showed that the decrease in both the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear became conspicuous with the increase in quantity of Cu3P coexisting in the matrix; its amount increases with the content of phosphorus. The structural changes in the surface of the specimen due to heating in a vacuum were observed by using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was seen that the surface concentration of phosphorus strongly increased after heating at 573K, whereas the diffusion of tin atoms was markedly retarded. It was concluded from these results that the behavior of phosphorus atoms in the surface during sliding played an important role in the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-Sn-P alloys.

The dispenser ejects the ceramic filler and phosphor-containing liquid for making various products. When the particle-containing liquid is ejected under high-velocity conditions, however, the ejection reliability decreases because of the wear of the contact surface between the rod and nozzle even though these components are made of hard materials. It is therefore necessary to characterize the friction and wear properties of the hard materials, tungsten carbide (WC) and zirconium (Zr), with the high-viscosity liquid-containing nitride or yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) particles under reciprocating conditions. Particle contents of 15 wt.% and 30 wt.% are added to the liquid. A reciprocating test was implemented to this end, and WC and Zr specimens were used. The liquid used in the experiment contains nitride and YAG. The experimental results show that the particles inside the liquid are worn out, leading to particle lubrication and the decrease in the coefficient of friction. Also, it is confirmed that the more the particles are, the less the coefficient of friction is due to particle lubrication. For each experimental condition, the coefficient of friction is measured and compared. Moreover, the contact surface of the specimen is analyzed using an electron microscope, and a profilometer is used to measure the surface roughness of the specimen before and after the test. The reciprocation friction and wear characteristics of WC and Zr with phosphor-containing liquid are evaluated by analyzing the experimental results.

Pin-on-disk unidirectional sliding friction and wear experiments for an aluminum alloy impregnated carbon composite in contact with a bearing steel were carried out at various levels of contact load in wet and dry air. The aluminum alloy impregnated carbon composite exhibits better friction and wear characteristics than the matrix materials, aluminum alloy and graphite in wet air. The coefficient of friction and wear rate decrease, especially at high loads in wet air. Graphite, together with metallic and oxidative wear particles, adheres to the disk sliding surface of the bearing steel, resulting in the formation of compacted, uniform surface films. The films prevent metal-to-metal contact, achieving a good sliding friction and wear condition.
