In the present work, an experimental investigation has been made of a dry sliding wear rate for aluminum, aluminum alloy (Al-Fe-V-Si), bronze, stainless steel 304 and structural steel ASTM A36, using a pin-on-disk apparatus under the effect of sliding speed and time at constant load. The materials were tested on two types of abrasive surfaces with a grit surface of 24 and 36. The applied load was equal to 2500 grams and the same load was used for all of the pins that were tested. The relative wear was indicated by the loss in length and loss in mass. The results show that the wear rate will directly proportional with sliding speed and time, and the stainless steel has less wear rate than the other materials.

The effects of the primary Si phase and applied load on the dry sliding wear behaviors of hypereutectic Al-20Si alloy were investigated. The results show that coarse polygonal and star-like primary Si was refined into fine blocky shape by increasing superheat treatment temperature. The friction coefficient and wear rate significantly decrease after decreasing the size and changing the morphology of primary Si. Moreover, the friction coefficient and wear rate increase with the increase of applied load. Therefore, the wear properties are greatly influenced by the parameters like morphology and size of primary Si as well as applied load.

The effect of tempering temperature and microstructure on dry sliding wear behavior of quenched and tempered PM steels was investigated. For this purpose, atomized iron powder was mixed with 0.3 % graphite and 1-2 % Ni powders. The mixed powders were cold pressed and sintered at 1200°C. The sintered specimens were quenched from 890°C and then tempered at 200°C and 600°C for 1 hr. Wear tests were carried out on the quenched+tempered specimens under dry sliding wear conditions using a pin-on-disk type machine at constant load and speed. The experimental results showed that the wear coefficient effectively increased with increasing tempering temperature. With increasing Ni content, the wear coefficient slightly decreased at all tempering temperatures due to the high amount of Ni-rich austenitic areas.

The effect of repeated quenching heat treatment on microstructure and dry sliding wear behavior of low carbon PM steel was investigated. For this purpose, atomized iron powder was mixed with 0.3 % graphite and 1 % Ni powders. The mixed powders were cold pressed and sintered at 1200°C for 30 min under pure Ar gas atmosphere. Some of the sintered specimens were intercritically annealed at 760°C and quenched in water (single quenching). The other sintered specimens were first fully austenized at 890°C and water quenched. These specimens were then intercritically annealed at 760°C and re-quenched in water. The martensite volume fraction in the double quenched specimens was higher than that of the single quenched specimen. Wear tests were carried out on the single and double quenched specimens under dry sliding wear condition using a pin-on-disk type machine at constant load and speed. The experimental results showed that the wear coefficient effectively decreased in the double quenched specimen.

This study aims at investigating the effect of the sliding speed and the applied load on the dry sliding wear behavior of thermally sprayed Ni-based self-flux alloy coating. Ni-based self-flux alloy powders were flame-sprayed onto a carbon steel substrate and then these coatings were heat-treated at temperature of 1000 oC. Dry sliding wear tests were performed using the sliding speeds of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 m/s and the applied loads of 5, 10, 15 and 20 N. AISI 52100 ball (diameter 8 mm) was used as counterpart material. Wear behavior of Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was revealed that microstructure and wear behavior of the Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings were much influenced by the sliding speed and the applied load.

Dry sliding wear behavior of the creep-resistant magnesium alloy Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr and its composites have been investigated in this study. Magnesium matrix composites are prepared by squeezing casting infiltration of Mg alloy into Saffil preforms. Wear tests are conducted using ball-on-flat sliding wear set up under a sliding velocity range of 1-15 cm/s and at an applied load range of 1-8 N for a constant sliding distance of 150 m. According to results, mechanical and wear-resistance properties of magnesium alloy improved by introducing Saffil fibers, and the alumina binder composite has a higher strength and lower wear rate than silica binder composite. The wear rates of the matrix alloy, composites and their counter-face balls increase with increasing applied load. The increment of sliding velocities decreases the wear rate of the matrix alloy under the tested sliding velocities. A critical threshold of sliding velocity for the wear rate of both composites and their counter-faces is about 9 cm/s. Abrasion and plastic deformation are considered to be the dominant mechanism for the matrix alloy in tested conditions, and for both composites under low sliding velocity (<10 cm/s) and at low applied loads (1-5 N). Delamination is the wear mechanism of the silica binder composites at a high applied load (8 N). Adhesion and oxidation are the controlling wear mechanism of matrix alloy and composites under a sliding velocity of 15 cm/s.

The effect of bifilm oxides on the dry sliding wear behavior of Fe-rich (1.5 wt.%) F332 Al–Si alloy under as-cast and T6 heat-treated conditions was investigated. Toward this end, the surface oxides were intentionally incorporated into the molten alloy by surface agitation. The results showed that, after sliding under the applied load of 75 N, due to the presence of bifilms, the wear rate of base (0.2 wt.% Fe) and 1.5 wt.% Fe-containing alloys increased by almost 22% and 14%, respectively. The results also indicated that, despite the positive effect on the hardness, T6 heat treatment adversely affected the wear resistance of alloys made under surface turbulence condition. This negative effect can be attributed to the expansion of bifilms which, during heat treatment, are converted to the potential sites for initiation and propagation of subsurface microcracks. However, the strengthening effect exerted by the thermally modified β-Al5FeSi platelets showed that it can compensate the negative effects of bifilm oxides because it improves the wear rate of 1.5 wt.% Fe-containing F332-T6 alloy by about 5% under the applied load of 75 N.

The correlation between applied load and sliding speed on the wear behavior of tamarind wood was analyzed using statistical analysis. Dry sliding wear tests were conducted using the block-on-roller technique while mass loss was measured by using a micro balancer. The test specimens measured 20 mm by 20 mm by 10 mm and were made of tamarind wood. The roller which acted as the counter surface material was made of mild steel (120 HV), cut from a commercial mild steel bar (50 mm in diameter) measuring 300 mm in length. Dry sliding wear tests on tamarind wood was conducted using different sliding velocities (60 rpm, 95 rpm and 145 rpm) and applied using different loads (10 N, 20 N and 30 N). The test results were analyzed and inferred using linear correlation and regression. The results suggest that sliding speed and applied load have a significant and positive influence on mass loss. A direct correlation between applied load and sliding speed on the mass loss of tamarind wood was evident. Regression analysis indicated that the contribution of applied load and sliding speed on the mass loss of tamarind wood under dry sliding was at 82.6%.

Novel Al-6061 hybrid composite materials with varying range of SiC particulate and constant weight percentage of B4C particulate and 1% of magnesium alloy were fabricated by the stir casting technique (liquid metallurgy route). The mechanical and tribological properties of the hybrid composites and that of Al-6061 unreinforced alloy were examined by a Rockwell hardness test machine, pin-on-disc test machine, and Optical Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). A plan of experiment generated through Taguchi's technique was used to conduct experiments based on the L27 orthogonal array. The developed analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the regression equations were used to investigate the influence of parameters like sliding speed, applied load, sliding time, and percentage of reinforcement and their interactions on the dry sliding wear and friction coefficient of the composites. The motto of the present study is ‘the smaller the better’ to identify the optimum conditions for dry sliding wear and the friction coefficient. The results indicate that wear rate and friction coefficient were highly influenced by applied load, sliding speed, percentage of reinforcement and sliding time whereas the interaction between these parameters show only a minor influence in Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMCs). The wear surface morphology and wear mechanism of the pins were investigated using SEM and were correlated with wear test results. Finally, confirmation tests were carried out to verify the experimental results. It is concluded that Al-6061 hybrid composite can replace the conventional material used in the brake disc of automobiles owing to improved hardness and strength and reduced wear rate.

SiC particulates reinforced Al matrix composites were fabricated by thermal spray process, and the dry sliding wear behavior against four different counterparts was investigated under a varying of the sliding speed and the applied load conditions. Al/SiC composites were fabricated by flame spraying, and the dry sliding wear tests were performed using the sliding speed of 0.4 m/s and 0.8 m/s at the applied load of 3 N. Sliding distance was kept at 1000 m for all the tests. Al2O3, ZrO2, Si3N4 and AISI 52100 balls were used as the counterparts. Wear tracks on the Al/SiC composites were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was revealed that wear behavior of Al/SiC composites was much influenced by counterpart materials.
