To investigate sliding friction and wear behaviors of WC–Co/WC–Co pairs containing different WC grain sizes, the ball-on-disc test in air were carried out for WC-Co containing WC grain sizes of 0.5 μm (F.G.) and 1.5 μm (C.G.). The results show that the wear volume of F.G. pin for F.G. pin/C.G. disc is larger than that of F.G. pin for F.G. pin/F.G. disc due to higher friction coefficient, and the surfaces after wear test are richer in oxygen compared to those before test. Furthermore, the wear debris, which is composed of nona-scale grains, after the wear test are remarkably richer in oxygen than to those before test. The diffraction pattern reveals sharp ring

The pin-on-disc dry sliding friction and wear experiments have been made on 42CrMo4 steel in contact with Si3N4, SiC, WC, Al2O3, and ZrO2 ceramic balls. The tests were carried out at sliding speeds of 0.16 m/s, 0.24 m/s, and 0.32 m/s. During the tests, the friction force was monitored as a function of time. Discs and balls wear was measured after the tests using a white light interferometer Talysurf CCI Lite and Altisurf 520 optical profilometer with a CL1 confocal probe. To decrease variations in the experimental results, during the tests, wear debris was continuously removed from the disc surfaces. It was found out that with Al2O3 counterpart the wear volume of the steel discs was the largest. However, the largest wear volume of the balls was observed for Si3N4 ceramic balls.

Friction and wear are very important in mechanical design. This paper studies the friction and wear characteristics of 45 steel under oil lubrication. The sliding friction and wear experiment was carried out with the pin plate friction pairs on the MMW-1A friction and wear test machine. Researching the influence of velocity on friction factor under the same load, the relation between wear and load and wear analysis under the same speed different loads. The results showed that under the same load and with the increase of velocity, the friction factor had a gradually decreasing trend. When some of the parameters were certain, the wear volume and the loading force was roughly linear relation. Pitting occurred when the load increased.

Plate-on-disc type sliding friction and wear test was conducted to investigate the friction and wear properties of mullite reinforced composite (M composite), and compared with glass fiber reinforced composite (GF composite). The friction and wear test revealed that M composite has good wear resistance under mild sliding conditions, but the wear rate gradually increases under severe sliding conditions. M composite exhibited higher friction coefficient than GF composite at room temperature and maintained the friction coefficient stably at higher temperatures. The composite film formed on counter material against M composite showed influences on the friction and wear properties under severe sliding conditions.

Coatings are normally employed to meet some functional requirements. There is a kind of self-generated coating during use, such as the transfer layer during sliding, which may greatly affect the tribological behavior. Although the transfer layer has aroused much attention recently, the formation of the transfer layer closely depends on the service conditions, which need to be further studied. In this paper, the effects of sliding speed, normal load, and duration of wear test on the transfer layer thickness during friction of Ni/PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) composites were experimentally investigated. The formation mechanism of transfer layer and the relationships between tribological properties and transfer layer thickness were analyzed in detail. It was found that the transfer layer thickness increased with increases of sliding speed and normal load; and after a period of wear test, the transfer layer thickness remained stable. The transfer layer thickness correlates linearly with the friction coefficient and wear volume of the PTFE composites. With the increase of the transfer layer thickness, the friction coefficient decreased, while the wear volume increased, which means that a uniform, thin, and stable transfer layer is beneficial for the reduction of friction and wear of the polymeric composites.

Abstract The rapid development of high-speed railways necessitates the development of new materials for switch slide baseplates. In this study, a Cu–Ni–graphite composite, containing 1 wt% to 6 wt% graphite and prepared by powder metallurgy, was used as a potential material. Pin-on-disk wear tests were conducted to measure the sliding friction of the Cu–Ni–graphite composite against U75 V steel. The results showed that the friction coefficients gradually decreased when the graphite content in the composite ranged from 1 wt% to 4 wt% in the composite. When the graphite content was 4 wt%, the friction coefficient reached the minimum value (0.153). When the graphite content was low (1 wt% to 4 wt%), the primary wear mechanism was microcutting. An increased graphite content facilitated the generation of lubricating films and decreased the wear damage. As the graphite content increased from 4 wt% to 6 wt%, the friction coefficients also increased. The variation in the wear volume rate had the same tendency as the friction coefficient. When the graphite content exceeded 4 wt%, the primary wear mechanism was delamination and fatigue wear. Due to the tendency to form cracks on the subsurface and the plentiful generation of the spalled pits, the graphite fragments could not completely form lubricating films but separated as wear debris. The lubricating films existing on the U75 V steel were in proportion to the graphite content in the composite. The wear weight loss of the U75 V steel exhibited a reduction with increasing graphite content.

Tribological experiments were conducted on a ball-on-disk, unlubricated, with a speed of V ≈ 140 mm/s , V ≈ 70 mm/s , with an applied load between 20 and 100N, and with different combinations of ceramic materials. A wear test was conducted on disk material zirconia with regard to various ceramic ball materials (zirconia, alumina, silicon carbide and silicon nitride). The results show that the properties of the counter materials cause a difference in friction and wear characteristics.

The grind-hardening technology utilizes the grinding heat to harden the surface of the workpiece. The friction and wear performance of the grind-hardened layer is one of the important parameters. In this paper, the friction and wear performance of the grind-hardened layer was studied by the friction and wear experiment. The wear rate and the friction coefficient of the grind-hardened steel were studied by comparing with conventional hardened steel and non-hardened steel. The surface worn morphology and the collected wear debris of the grind-hardened steel were observed during the experiment. The wear mechanism of the grind-hardened steel was analyzed under different friction conditions.

It’s important to research on the biotribology of UHMWPE composites for developing the new joint implanted materials and the life of the joint replacements. In this research, UHMWPE-NC composites were prepared using the pressing formation method. The nano-hardness and elastic modulus evaluations of all of UHMWPE-NC composites were obtained by nanoindentation tests (Hysitron, Co.,) with the corresponding load-displacement curves confirming the characteristic properties of these materials. A ball-on disc wear test was run on the Universal Micro-Tribometer (UMT) to investigate the friction and wear behaviors of Si3N4 ceramic cross-sliding against UHMWPE-NC composites in artificial body fluids lubrication.

The Entropy Generation Theorem recently formulated by Bryant, Khonsari and Ling [1] relates any form of degradation to the irreversible dissipative processes germane to the degradation mechanism. The theorem was formulated and proved [1] based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics In this article, dry sliding wear will be related to dry sliding friction through application of the theorem. The result reproduces the Holm-Archard wear law, but with a wear coefficient based on measurement of temperatures and wear volume lost.

Abstract An alternative production route to obtain thermally sprayed self-lubricating ceramic coatings is proposed and microstructural, friction and wear properties of these coatings are discussed. A preliminary powder treatment shows to induce a higher degree of homogeneity compared to conventionally deposited composite coatings, offering some perspectives for a further improvement of the lubricating and wear properties. This approach is illustrated using CaF2 as a solid lubricant dispersed in a Cr2O3 matrix, where the high melting point of the latter (Tm{Cr2O3} =2460°C) necessitates plasma spraying as deposition technique. The microstructure of the coatings is evaluated by a metallographic study of sections perpendicular and parallel to the substrate surface. Wear and friction behaviour is evaluated using reciprocating wear test Wear tracks are analysed by means of laser profilometry. The results are discussed in relation to test and production parameters. Test temperature as well as solid lubricant concentration predominantly affects the wear and friction properties. Using a surface temperature of 400°C a friction coefficient of 0.25 and a wear volume of 37*103 µm3 after 10.000 cycles are obtained for a coating containing 16 vol.% of CaF2.
