In this study, two kinds of NiCr/Cr3C2-BN composite powders were prepared with individual cladding (FKBN) and low pressure spray granulation (YLBN) methods, and the derived NiCr/Cr3C2-BN coatings were fabricated by plasma spraying technology. The microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of the two coatings were systematically investigated. Both NiCr/Cr3C2-BN coatings have relatively high adhesive strength and microhardness, but the porosity of YLBN coating is much lower than that of FKBN coating. With comparison to FKBN coating, YLBN coating showed lower friction coefficient and better wear resistance, which was attributed to the more compact microstructure and uniform distribution of BN in the coating.

In order to improve the tribological performance of the physical vapor-deposited AlCrN coatings, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/poly tetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings were fabricated on the AlCrN coatings surface through the thermal spraying method. The microstructure, adhesive strength, hardness, and tribological properties were investigated. Reciprocating sliding tests against SiC ball were executed with a ball-on-plate tribometer. Results showed that the adhesive strength between the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings and substrate was increased by about 15% compared with single AlCrN coatings. Compared with the single MoS2/PTFE coatings, the hardness of the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings surface was increased by about 15%. The MoS2/PTFE layer can availably reduce the friction coefficient of single AlCrN layer, and the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings exhibited the lowest and the most stable friction coefficient. In addition, the MoS2/PTFE layer existed on the wear track and accumulated on both the sides, which was the main reason that the friction coefficient was still lower compared with the samples without MoS2/PTFE coatings.

A commercial Mg alloy was prepared through equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process. The effect of ECAE on mechanical and tribological properties of the alloy was investigated. Experimental results showed that the hardness and strength of the alloy with ECAE were higher than that of the alloy without ECAE and increased with the increase pass number. The friction coefficient and wear resistance of the alloy after ECAE were significantly improved.

WC/Co; Composite coating; Plasma spraying; Friction and wear Abstract: WC- Co composite powders were synthesized by direct mechanical grinding in a rotary-vibration mill under 8h, and then analyzed by SEM and XRD. WC and WC/Co composite coatings were prepared by supersonic plasma spraying fine WC-Co composite powders. The wear and friction properties of both coatings were evaluated. The results showed that the wear resistance of the WC/Co composite coating was superior to that of the WC coating. The improvement in wear resistance of the WC/Co composite coating was attributed to its higher fracture toughness and adhesion strength as well as better thermal diffusivity. As for the WC/Co composite coating, the mechanism was mainly adhesion with micro-abrasion and fatigued-induced brittle fracture within splats, and the delamination along splat boundaries only occurred at high load. However, the failure of the WC coating was predominantly detachment of transferred film and brittle fracture within the splats and delamination along splat boundaries, which were enhanced with the increasing load.

The travelling waves ultrasonic motors (TWUM) with nonmagnetic, large torque, high precision and simple structure was driven by frictional force, which had been applied aerospace, intelligent and precise instruments. In order to reduce the total weight of TWUM, the phosphor bronze stator with the biggest density among the all parts of TWUM (8.89 g/cm3) were substituted with light weight polymer or polymer composites. This study designed and prepared one types of low density polyimide (PI) composite (1.41g/cm3) reinforced with carbon fibers (CF) which can reduce the weight of stator over 85%. Importantly, this PI composite can meet the main requirements of TWUM, such as high elastic modulus, wear resistance, and suitable friction coefficient. The output stalling torque of TWUM with CF/PI stator still have 0.22 N·m (18.3% compared with TWUM with phosphor bronze stator). Moreover, this study systematically investigated the mechanical and tribological properties of CF/PI composite. For comparison, the pure PI, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) were also analyzed to reveal the wear mechanisms. The experimental results indicated that CF/PI had better wear resistance and lower friction coefficient than other polymer sliding against Si3N4. This light weight polymer composites would be an ideal candidate to reduce the weight of TWUM, which can broaden the lightweight application in the field of aerospace.

The selection of electroless nickel-phosphorus plating (ENP) has been inclined towards their properties and advantages with complex geometry applications. These properties include coating uniformity, low surface roughness, low wettability, high hardness, lubricity, and corrosion- and wear-resistance. Materials used in geothermal environments are exposed to harsh conditions such as high loads, temperature, and corrosive fluids, causing corrosion, scaling, erosion and wear of components. To improve the corrosion- and wear-resistance and anti-scaling properties of materials for geothermal environment, a ENP duplex coating with PTFE nanoparticles was developed and deposited on mild steel within the H2020 EU Geo-Coat project. ENP thin adhesive layer and ENP+PTFE top functional layer form the duplex structure of the coating. The objective of this study was to test the mechanical and tribological properties of the developed ENP-PTFE coatings with varying PTFE content. The microstructural, mechanical and tribological properties of the as-deposited coating with increasing PTFE content in the top functional layer in the order: ENP1, ENP2 and ENP3 were evaluated. The results showed maximum wear protection of the substrates at the lowest load; however, increasing load and sliding cycles increased the wear rates, and 79% increased lubrication was recorded for the ENP2 duplex coating. The wear performance of ENP3 greatly improved with a wear resistance of 8.3 × 104 m/mm3 compared to 6.9 × 104 m/mm3 for ENP2 and 2.1 × 104 m/mm3 for ENP1. The results are applicable in developing low friction, hydrophobic or wear-resistive surfaces for geothermal application.

Electroless nickel composite coatings possess excellent mechanical and tribological properties such as, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance. Composite coatings can easily be coated not only on electrically conductive materials but also on non-conductive materials like as fabrics, plastics, rubber, etc. This review emphasizes on the development of electroless nickel composite coatings by incorporating different types of hard/soft particles (micro/nano size) in the electroless Ni-P matrix to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings. The preparation of electroless bath for nickel-phosphorus composite coating, methods to incorporate hard and/or soft particles in the bath, factors affecting the particle incorporation in the coating and its effect on coating structure, hardness, wear resistance, friction behavior, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties are discussed thoroughly.
