A new ZrO2 nano-composite ceramic tool and die material was prepared with vacuum hot pressing technology. The friction and wear behaviors of ZrO2 nano-composite ceramic tool and die materials in sliding against 45 chilled steel rings under dry friction were investigated by using an MMW-1A abrasion wear tester. The mechanical properties and the friction and wear properties of the composites with various compositions and contents were studied. It is indicated that the changing trends of the wear rate and the mechanical properties of the composites with the change of TiB2 and Al2O3 contents are roughly the same, but the friction coefficient is not obviously. The friction and wear properties and the mechanical properties are finer when the TiB2 and Al2O3 content is both 10%.

A new ZrO2 nano-composite ceramic tool and die material was prepared with vacuum hot pressing technique. The effects of sintering parameters on the nano-composite ceramic tool and die materials were studied. The results indicated that the mechanical properties of ZrO2 nano-composite ceramic tool and die material with the additions of TiB2 and Al2O3 are higher than that of the pure ZrO2 ceramic material. Sintering at 1100 for 120min could improve the density and mechanical properties of ZrO2 nano-composite ceramic material. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness with the optimum sintering parameters can reach 878MPa, 9.54MPa•m1/2 and 13.48GPa, respectively, obviously higher than that with non-optimum sintering parameters.

Ti (C,N)/ZrO2/WC nanocomposite cermet die materials were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing process, the materials have better comprehensive mechanical properties. The friction and wear properties of Ti (C,N)-based nanocomposite cermet die materials were studied, and the worn surfaces microstructure were observed and analysed by SEM and XRD. The experimental results showed that when the rotate speed was higher, the coefficient of friction of the developed cermet die material, which is 0.3-0.4, was lower than that without the addition of nanoZrO2 and micrometer WC. The main wear mechanisms were abrasive wear, oxidation wear and adhesive wear.

A new nano-composite ceramic tool and die material was prepared by vacuum hot pressing technique. The effect of hot pressing technology on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrO2nano-composite ceramic tool and die material was investigated systemically, and the ceramic tool and die material with good mechanical properties was fabricated successfully. Results show that, the highest flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness of ZrO2nano-composite ceramic tool and die material reaches 1055 MPa, 10.57 MPa∙m1/2 and 13.59 GPa, respectively by means of the vacuum hot pressing technique at 1430 °C for 60min at 35MPa. The flexural strength and fracture toughness has been improved greatly by the optimization of hot pressing technology. In the materials, the optimum sinter process could ensure the t-ZrO2stabilized till room temperature that can enhance the toughening effect of ZrO2. The microstructure of ZrO2nano-composite ceramic tool and die materials were improved by the optimization of hot pressing technology, and the fracture mode is the typical mixed trans/inter-granular fracture mode.

Based on the requirements for ceramic materials of cutting tool and die and the aim of improving comprehensive mechanical properties of ceramic tool and die materials, nanocomposite ceramic tool and die materials with high mechanical properties were fabricated successfully with nanometer composite method. Friction and wear properties of the developed ZrO2/Ti(C7N3) nanocomposite ceramic tool and die materials were experimentally studied in detail. Morphologies of the worn surfaces were observed and analyzed by ESEM. Wear mechanisms of nanocomposite ceramic tool and die materials were discussed with comparison with that of single-phase ZrO2 ceramics. It indicates that wear mechanisms of ZrO2/Ti(C7N3) nanocomposite ceramic tool and die materials are mechanical cold welding, abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

Immune algorithm is a computational intelligent method which imitates the information processing properties of the natural immune system. It is one of the effective global optimization algorithms with higher global convergence. In this paper, mathematic model between the mechanical properties and the constituent of Al2O3 based ceramic tool and die material is established with the method of regression analysis. The obtained relationship function works as the optimum objective function. The immune algorithm is then used to optimize the mechanical properties of material. The best value of fracture toughness, hardness and flexural strength is 5.356 MPa·m1/2, 20.702 GPa and 731.96 MPa, respectively. The volume fractions of SiC and Ti (C,N) can be obtained when the mechanical properties of material reach the optimum. The result shows that using immunity algorithm can find the global optimal solution rapidly, and avoid the premature convergence phenomena existed in the genetic algorithm. Comparing the optimal results with experimental results, the relative error is small. It suggested that the immune algorithm can well be used for the optimum design of ceramic tool and die materials.

Purpose This paper aims to thrash out friction and wear properties of automobile brake lining reinforced by lignin fiber and glass fiber in braking process. Design/methodology/approach ABAQUS finite element software was used to analyze thermo-mechanical coupled field of friction materials. XD-MSM constant speed friction testing machine was used to test friction and wear properties of friction material. Worn surface morphology and mechanism of friction materials were observed by using scanning electron microscope. Findings The results show that when the temperature was below 350°C, worn mechanism of MFBL was mainly fatigue wear and abrasive wear, and worn mechanism of GFBL was mainly fatigue wear because MFBL contained lignin fiber. Therefore, it exhibits better mechanical properties and friction and wear properties than those of GFBL. Originality/value Lignin fiber can improve mechanical properties and friction and wear properties of the automobile brake lining.

Cu-Fe-Al composites containing various amounts of graphite additives are prepared by induction sintering method. The mechanical properties of the composites with 0-8 wt. % graphite are measured using the mechanical tester, while the friction and wear properties are evaluated using MRH-3 friction-wear tester. Material components are found by EDS. The worn surface morphologies of the composites are analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results show that the composite containing graphite have porous microstructure. The mechanical and tribological properties of composites are related to the induction frequencies and the contents of the graphite as the solid lubricant. The increased graphite content results in reduced mechanical properties and increased friction and wear properties. The composite with 4 wt. % graphite additives and induction frequencies of 35Hz have the lower the friction coefficients and wear rate. Meanwhile, wear mechanism of materials have been changed from abrasive wear to grain wear due to the glaze layer.
