The wear behavior of powder metallurgical Ti-47Al-2Cr-0.2Mo alloy prepared by pre-alloyed powders was investigated using pin-on-disk wear tests in different environments, viz, argon, 4% hydrogen in nitrogen, air and oxygen. The disk material was sinter-hot isostatically pressed, yttria-stabilized zirconia. Lower wear rates were found for the TiAl pins in oxygen-free environments, indicating that oxygen play a key role in the wear rate. In contrast, the presence of molecular hydrogen and moisture have nearly no effect. A combination of X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicated that the abrasive particles present mainly consisted of the zirconia. In addition, zirconia particles were embedded in the worn tips of the TiAl pins and mixed into the tribolayers. The high stress and high contact temperature at the wear surface made the zirconia disk undergo a phase transformation during the dry sliding wear, accompanied by grain pullout, surface uplifting and microcracking. The hard tribolayer with embedded zirconia particles provides some protection against further wear of the TiAl pin. The highly localized, repetitive shear stress during the wear tests may bring about amorphous TiAl in the wear debris. The main wear mechanisms were abrasive wear of two-body and three-body, some delamination and plastic deformation.

The 31CrMoV9 steels were plasma nitrided under different gas mixture ratios to investigate an influence of nitrogen amount on wear behavior. The structure, mechanical and tribological behavior of untreated and nitrided 31CrMoV9 steels were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), microhardness device, 3D profilometer and pin-on-disk wear tester. The analysis outcomes displayed that the compound layer consists of nitride phases (Fe2N, Fe3N, Fe4N and CrN). Additionally, the thickness of the compound layers, surface hardness and roughness increased with increasing nitrogen amount in the gas mixture. The highest friction coefficient value was obtained at nitrogen amount of 50%, but the lowest value was seen at nitrogen amount of 6%. It was observed that wear resistance of 31CrMoV9 steel improved after plasma nitriding, and the best wear resistance was also obtained from plasma nitrided sample at the gas mixture of 94% H[Formula: see text]% N2.

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of reinforcements used for improving the thermal properties of AA6061 alloy on wear resistance. For this purpose, AA6061 matrix composites were produced by pressure infiltration method using ceramic microparticles (TiB2 and B4C) and graphene nanoparticles (GNPs). The produced composites were first characterized by porosity measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Then, the wear behavior was examined under three different loads (20–40–60 N) with the reciprocating ball on the flat method in a dry environment. Specific wear-rates were calculated according to the Archard principle by measuring the depth and width of the traces after tests with a profilometer. Wearing mechanisms were determined with the help of optical and microstructure images. According to the obtained results, it was found that B4C + GNPs reinforced samples were more resistant to abrasion at low loads, but TiB2 + GNPs reinforced samples were higher at higher loads.

An attempt has been made to investigate the microstructures and wear behavior of magnesium alloy AM100 (Mg-Al-Mn) based composites reinforced with 7 vol. % of ZrB2, graphite or hybrid of (1:1) ZrB2 and graphite particles as well as the unreinforced magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloy was melt under shield of inert gases and composites were prepared using stir casting method. Optical microscopy was used to study the microstructures of the unreinforced alloy and composites. The composites characterized primarily by the uniform distribution of particles in the matrix and a good adherence between the particles and matrix. XRD analysis was used to identify the phases of the unreinforced alloy and composites. The XRD diffraction pattern of AM100 matrix reveals different phases, namely, Mg, AlMn and Al12Mg17. Formation of these phases is due to the reaction between alloy constituents. Dry sliding wear tests were conducted by using a pin-on-ring apparatus. The wear rates of the composites and matrix alloy were measured at loads of 10, 20 and 30 N, and sliding speed of 0.7 m/s. The worn surfaces of the composite pins were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results of the wear tests showed that the magnesium based composites exhibited higher wear rate at all the applied loads when compared to those of the unreinforced magnesium alloy. The ZrB2 reinforced magnesium composite exhibited the lowest wear rate amongst the composites material investigated in the present work.

ABSTRACTLynntech, Inc has successfully researched and demonstrated a unique method for the manufacture of quasicrystalline (QC) coatings that utilizes the process of electrocodeposition. The purpose of this study was to optimize the physical-mechanical properties of the QC coatings. All metal substrates were aluminum alloy Al-3004 and codeposition was performed using Al65Cu23Fe12 QC powders in nickel plating solutions. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy was performed in order to verify the attachment of quasicrystals to the aluminum alloy substrate and coated samples displayed identical spectra to those of raw QC powders. The average contact angle θ was 117.2° for electrocodeposited QC coatings. Friction was monitored during pin-on-disk wear tests and QC coated samples had coefficients of friction as low as 0.01 and an average value of 0.05 with samples showing no visible wear scar. Lynntech's electrocodeposited quasicrystalline coatings withstand high temperatures and exhibit low wear and friction characteristics with a low surface energy making them ideal for cookware, as well as various other applications such as bearings, landing gear and engine parts, where thermal and mechanical conditions are prime importance.

Titanium and its alloys exhibit a unique combination of physical and corrosion resistance properties which make them ideal materials for space flight engine component such as disks and blades of compressor, marine applications, chemical industries and many bio medical applications. However the use of these materials is limited due to its poor tribological properties. Dry sliding wear tests were performed on Ti-6Al-4V using a pin-on-disc (EN31 steel) configuration. Wear rates were measured with different load and sliding velocity at a constant sliding distance. Microstructures of worn surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).

The purpose of this study was to determine the friction coefficients and wear rates of six commercially available dental ceramics including IPS Empress 2 (E2), Cergo Pressable Ceramic (CPC), Cercon Ceram (CCS) and Super porcelain EX-3 (SPE). Bovine enamel (BE) was also tested as a reference material for comparison purposes. Samples of the dental ceramics were prepared according to the instructions described by the manufacturers in disk-shape with nominal dimensions of 12 mm × 2 mm. The wear tests were performed by means of a pin-on-disk type tribometer. The friction coefficients and specific wear rates of the materials were determined at a load of 10 N and rotating speed of 0.25 cm/s without lubrication. Surface morphology of the wear tracks was examined using a scanning electron microscope. Statistical analyses were made using one-way ANOVA and Turkey's HSD (P < 0.05).

AbstractIn this study, the microstructure and wear behaviours of aluminium composites, reinforced with different amounts of (3-12%) Al2O3 and 2% (% vol.) graphite were investigated. The Al2O3 and graphite were added to Al matrix and mechanically alloyed for 60 minutes. Subsequently, the mechanically alloyed powders were pressed under 700MPa pressure and sintered at 600∘C for 120 minutes. The produced aluminium composites were characterized by microstructure, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), density and hardness measurements. Afterwards, wear tests were carried out on a block on-ring type wear testing device, under three different loads and four different sliding distances. As a result, the hardness and density of composites were observed to increase due to the increase in the amount of reinforcement in aluminium composites. The highest hardness and density values were obtained in composite material containing 12% Al2O3. The wear tests, the lowest weight loss was also obtained in composite containing 12% Al2O3.

In the present work, a wear-resistant composite cladding of Ni-based+10% SiC was developed on martensitic stainless steel (SS-420) through a recently developed process microwave hybrid heating (MHH) technique. In the current investigation, domestic microwave oven of frequency 2.45 GHz and 900 W power was used for the development of clads. The metallurgical and mechanical characterizations of developed clads were carried through scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Vicker's microhardness. The developed clad is uniformly developed and it is metallurgically bonded with the substrate. The average Vicker's microhardness of the clad was 652 ± 90 HV. The tribological behavior of cladding has been investigated through pin-on-disk sliding method against an EN-31 (HRC-62). The clad surface showed good resistance to the sliding wear. It is observed that in case of the clad samples, wear occurs due to dislocation of particles, smearing off of tribofilm, and craters due to pullout of carbides from the matrix.
