This study is to investigate tribological behavior of brake lining materials by hot pressing commercial friction powders with ceramic powders prepared by TEOS / boehmite sol-gel. The stoichiometric ratios of TEOS / boehmite sol-gel were kept constant but calcinated at different temperature to fabricate different homemade ceramic powders. The various phases of ceramic powders such as γ-Al2O3, δ-Al2O3, θ-Al2O3, α-Al2O3, cristobalite and mullite were formed during the preparation process starting from TEOS / boehmite sol-gel solution. The XRD observations reveal the final compositions of these homemade powders were strongly related to the calcining temperature. The brake lining specimens made from TEOS / boehmite sol-gel calcinated at higher temperature show better tribological performance. The brake lining specimen with α-Al2O3 and mullite which were transformed from TEOS / boehmite sol-gel calcinated at 1300°C shows the most stable friction coefficient and the lowest mass loss during wear tests.

Glass-ceramic powders with a composition of Li2O · Al2O3 · 4SiO2 (LAS) have been synthesized by the sol-gel technique using LiOCH3, Al(OC2H5)3, Si(OC2H5)4, Ti(OC2H5)4, and Zr(OC2H5)4 as starting materials and the phase transformation behavior during calcination has been investigated. Differential thermal analysis (DTA), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to determine the thermal behavior of the gels. Considering the LAS gels with 6.0 wt. % TiO2 and various wt. % ZrO2 content, and peak position of the β-spodumene phase formation in DTA curves was shifted to a higher temperature when the ZrO2 content was increased. The activation energy of β-spodumene crystallization was 283.8 kcal/mol for LAS gels with 6.0 wt. % TiO2 and 2.0 wt. % ZrO2. Unlike foregoing studies for LAS gels, during calcination of the dried LASTZ gels from 800 °C to 1200 °C neither β-eucryptite nor γ-spodumene was noted to be present. The crystallized phases comprised of β-spodumenes as the major phase and rutile (TiO2) together with zirconia (ZrO2) are precipitated as minor phases.

The present work analyzed the influence of an optical fiber laser surface treatment process on the tribological behavior of the ISO 5832-1 austenitic stainless-steel, basing on the wear volume and friction coefficient. Specimen of this biomaterial were treated by alternating the laser frequency, in order to find out a condition that improves its tribological resistance. Ball-cratering micro-abrasive wear tests were carried out with a test ball of AISI 316L stainless-steel, used as counter-body, and an abrasive slurry prepared with abrasive particles of black silicon carbide (SiC) and distilled water. The micro-abrasive wear tests results indicated that: i) the hardness of the ISO 5832-1 austenitic stainless-steel increased as a function of the laser frequency, decreasing, consequently, the wear volume, as predicted by Archard’s Law; ii) the friction coefficient did not present a proportional behavior with the increase of the optical fiber laser frequency; iii) the best condition to improve the wear resistance of the ISO 5832-1 austenitic stainless-steel was obtained adopting an optical fiber laser frequency of 350 kHz, being reported the lower wear volume.

Abstract The tribological behavior of boundary lubrication is largely dominated by the anti-wear additives. Here five different anti-wear additives were selected and their tribological properties for a steel-copper contact were investigated. It was found that the tribological performance are highly depending on the anti-wear additive chemistry which determines activity, element compositions of the additive. An amine phosphate anti-wear additive AW 316 exhibit best tribological performance with the lowest mean friction coefficient of 0.082 and smallest wear volume which is more than one order of magnitude smaller than base oil. The friction-reducing order of the tested anti-wear additives are AW 316 > ZDDP > 353 > TCP > [P8888][DEHP] while anti-wear showed similar trend. In addition, the tribological mechanism of AW 316 were also discussed based on surface analysis results, and it was found that an even boundary lubrication film of 10–15 nm which was composed of copper oxides, phosphates, amines was formed on the copper disc and is responsible for its outstanding tribological performances. This study provides fundamental insights of the compatibilities among steel-copper friction pairs and suitable anti-wear additives, which can be beneficial for the development of high performance used for steel-copper friction pairs.

Ionic liquid (IL) can be used as external or internal lubricant. The tribological performance of polyimide (PI)–steel contact surface driven by IL lubricant was investigated using a ball-on-disk tribometer in high-vacuum environment. The experimental results indicated that IL as the external lubricant could obviously decrease the friction coefficient of PI from 0.41 to 0.01 and corrode the surface of steel ball. As internal lubricant, some IL/PI composite films were prepared, and the structure properties and tribological behavior were investigated. IL can be uniformly dispersed in the polymer and could make film surface more hydrophilic along with the increasing content of IL in PI. The IL/PI composite film with 1% content of IL has the lowest friction coefficient and causes the least damage against the steel ball.

The tribological behavior and tribo-layers of AISI 1045 steel sliding against 52100 steel were investigated in the case of supplying MoS2, Fe2O3, and their mixtures onto the sliding interface. When nanoparticles were supplied, tribo-layers were formed on the worn surfaces. The tribological behavior of the sliding pair depended on the characteristics of tribo-layers, which were decided by different nanoparticles. As the additives—especially the ones containing MoS2—were supplied onto the sliding interface, the wear rates and friction coefficients of both 1045 steel and 52100 steel were markedly decreased to extremely low values, approaching zero and marginally undulated with the increase in load. Single-component Fe2O3 nanoparticles markedly reduced the wear rate of 1045 steel with slightly increased friction coefficient, but its decreased extent was merely half of that of the additives containing MoS2. The improvement of the tribological performance of steels was attributed to the formation of protective tribo-layers. The addition of pure Fe2O3 resulted in the formation of insert-type tribo-layers, while cover-type tribo-layers were formed by the addition of the mixture additives of Fe2O3+MoS2 and pure MoS2. The cover-type tribo-layers provided more protective and lubricative functions than that of the insert-types.

A nanostructured TiO2 dominated ceramic coating was fabricated on Ti6Al4V by microarc oxidation (MAO). The coating with about 30 μm thickness is porous in the outer layer and compact in the inner layer, mainly composed of rutile and a small amount of anatase TiO2, both in nano grain structure. The hardness and elastic modulus of the compact layer in the coating are about 8.5 GPa and 87.4 GPa. The adhesion strength is about 70MPa. The friction coefficient of the polished coating sliding against GCr15 steel is as low as 0.2, which is clearly superior to that of the unpolished one. This is attributed to the low surface roughness. However, the oxidation wear mechanism occurring at the later stage of wear tests leads to a gradual increase of friction coefficient.

The microstructural changes of electroless Ni–P–Cu coating at various heat-treatment conditions are investigated to understand its implications on the tribological behavior of the coating. Coatings are heat-treated at temperatures ranging between 200°C and 800 °C and for 1–4 h duration. Ni–P–Cu coatings exhibit two-phase transformations in the temperature range of 350–450 °C and the resulting microstructural changes are found to significantly affect their thermal stability and tribological attributes. Hardness of the coating doubles when heat-treated at 452 °C, due to the formation of harder Ni3P phase and crystalline NiCu. Better friction and wear performance are also noted upon heat treatment of the coating at the phase transformation regime, particularly at 400 °C. Wear mechanism is characterized by a mixed adhesive cum abrasive wear phenomena. Heat treatment at higher temperature (600 °C and above) and longer duration (4 h) results in grain coarsening phenomenon, which negatively influences the hardness and tribological characteristics of the coating. Besides, diffusion of iron from the ferrous substrate as well as greater oxide formation are noticed when the coating is heat-treated at higher temperatures and for longer durations (4 h).

A new preparation concept of a partially porous solid-state bilayer electrolyte (BE) for high-temperature sodium-ion batteries has been developed. The porous layer provides mechanical strength and is infiltrated with liquid and highly conductive NaAlCl4 salt, while the dense layer prevents short circuits. Both layers consist, at least partially, of Na-β-alumina. The BEs are synthesized by a three-step procedure, including a sol-gel synthesis, the preparation of porous, calcined bulk material, and spin coating to deposit a dense layer. A detailed study is carried out to investigate the effect of polyethylene oxide (PEO) concentration on pore size and crystallization of the bulk material. The microstructure and crystallographic composition are verified for all steps via mercury intrusion, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The porous bulk material exhibits an unprecedented open porosity for a NaxAlOy bilayer-system of ≤57% with a pore size of ≈200–300 nm and pore volume of ≤0.3 cm3∙g−1. It contains high shares of crystalline α-Al2O3 and Na-β-alumina. The BEs are characterized by impedance spectroscopy, which proved an increase of ionic conductivity with increasing porosity and increasing Na-β-alumina phase content in the bulk material. Ion conductivity of up to 0.10 S∙cm−1 at 300 °C is achieved.
