The effect of ambient temperature, materials state and lubrication condition on wear resistance of Cu10Al5Fe5Ni alloy was investigated. The wear surface morphology was characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the wear mechanism was discussed as well. The results show that the friction coefficient of Cu10Al5Fe5Ni alloy increases and then decreases with increasing temperature. The wear rate of the Cu10Al5Fe5Ni alloy after solid solution and ageing treatment is less than that of the as-cast alloy, and the wear rate of Cu10Al5Fe5Ni alloy reduces dramatically from 5.31×10-5 mm3 / (m· N) into 1.80×10-6 mm3 / (m·N) after adding lubricating oil. At elevated temperature, the prior wear mechanism is the fatigue wear, accompanying by slight abrasive wear and adhesive wear for the aged Cu10Al5Fe5Ni alloy.

A borocarburized layer was successfully fabricated on the surface of Q235 low-carbon steel via double glow treatment to improve the wear resistance at elevated temperature. The phase composition and microstructure of borocarburized layer were investigated by XRD and SEM. The microhardness of borocarburized layer from the surface to the substrate were detected. And the tribological behaviors of borocarburized layer and substrate were investigated under the dry-sliding against ZrO2 ball at three temperatures. The results indicate that the borocarburized layer consists of an outermost boride layer and a transition layer of carburized layer. The boride layer with main phase of Fe2B has a high hardness around 1700 HV, and the hardness of transition layer with main phase of Fe5C3 is around 600 HV. The novel gradient structure of an outermost boride layer and inner carburized layer is design in this research decreases the hardness mismatch of coating to prevent the boride layer peeling off. The friction coefficient and specific wear rate of borocarburized layer are much lower than that of substrate at the same temperature. In addition, the wear mechanism of substrate is mainly fatigue wear and slightly adhesive wear at 20℃. When the wear test performs at 200℃, the substrate wear mechanism is adhesive wear and fatigue wear. The wear mechanism of borocarburized layer is main abrasive wear at 20℃ and 200℃. And the wear mechanism of both substrate and borocarburized layer are main oxidation wear and adhesive wear at 500℃. The borocarburized layer effectively improves the wear resistance of low carbon steel due to the higher hardness and great thermal stability at high temperature.

Ultra high-pressure sintering (UHPS) was used to prepare AA6061/SiCp composites with different contents and the effect of sintering temperatures on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated in this study. The results showed that a uniform distribution of nano-SiC particles (N-SiCp) is obtained by the UHPS method. With the increase in N-SiCp contents, the higher hardness and better wear resistance could be inspected. The interfacial reactions and Al4C3 phase appeared above 550 °C. The relative density of composites first increased and then decreased; with the temperature raising it reached 99.58% at 600 °C. The hardness and wear property showed the same trend with the hardness reaching 52 HRA and wear rate being 1.0 × 10−6 g/m at 600 °C. Besides, the wear mechanism of the composites is mainly composed of abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

The numerical approach for the study of wear performance of breadfruit seed shell ash particles (BFSAp) and Sodium hydroxide (OH)/silane (APS)functionalized Momordica angustisepala fiber (MAf)/epoxy hybrid composites were investigated. The MAf fibers were treated with an OH-APS solution. Hardness values, wear rate and wear mechanism of the samples were determined. A 65.82% improvement in wear resistance was obtained at the load of 30N of 30wt%MAf-20wt%BFSAp composite. The wear rate and wear damage followed in this order: epoxy(matrix)˂epoxy/30wt%MAf-20wt%BFSAp˂epoxy/OH-APS treated 30wt%MAf-20wt%BFSAp composites. The wear mechanism observed in this work is a combination of abrasive and adhesive wear. High wear resistance was obtained in epoxy/OH-APS treated 30wt%MAf-20wt%BFSAp composites.

Increasing load requirements and harsh operating conditions have worsened the wear of drive shafts in special field vehicles. In this paper, the evolution of the microstructure and fretting wear behaviors of 25CrNi2MoVE torsion shaft steel and their influence on the wear mechanisms were investigated as a function of tempering temperature. The results showed that the coarse grain size, low matrix hardness and non-metallic inclusions in the as-received state lead to a high wear rate and serious adhesive wear. The grain refinement after normalizing and the formed M5C2 carbide and bainite helped to improve the wear resistance and worn surface quality. Low temperature tempering is conducive to further improve the wear resistance of normalized samples, and the wear rate and worn surface roughness are increased gradually after tempering temperature increases. For quenching, although martensite structure can achieve a lower wear rate, the coefficient of friction is much higher; the wear mechanisms are primarily fatigue wear and adhesive wear. Although the adhesive wear degree and worn surface roughness were increased, the optimal anti-wear performances are obtained under tempering at 350 °C with good continuity of the surface oxide film. Excessive tempering temperature will make the softened matrix unable to form a beneficial “third-body wear”.

A kind of high-performance bismaleimides composite has been fabricated using carbon nanotubes as filler, in which the carbon nanotubes was grafted by hyperbranched triazine compound (HPTC-CNTs). The investigation of properties the composites show that the addition of the appropriate content of HPTC-CNTs can enhance the tribological properties. It’s worth noting that when the content of HPTC-CNTs is 0.6 wt. %, the frictional coefficient and the wear rate decrease by 29.5% and 91.8% respectively compared to neat BMI. Scanning electron microscope(SEM)reveals that wear mechanism of neat BMI is mainly fatigue wear, but it turns adhesive mainly wear after the incorporation of HPTC-CNTs. The main reason can be the good dispersability and compatibility of HPTC-CNTs in the bismaleimides matrix.

In this study, four kinds of heat treatments were performed to obtain a certain amount of retained austenite, which can result in good toughness and low brittleness accompanied with wear resistance of an in situ VC particle reinforced iron-based composite (VCFC). Microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance of the samples under heat treatment of QP, QPT, MQP and MQPT were compared. The experimental results indicated that there is a huge difference in microstructure between MQPT and the other heat treatments. High-proportion retained austenite and white net-like precipitates of M7C3 carbide existed in the MQPT-treated sample, but thick M7C3 carbide with brittleness was discovered in the other sample. Thereby, high-proportion retained austenite contributed to its low hardness of 634 HV and high tensile strength of 267 MPa, while a maximum hardness of 705.5 HV and a minimum tensile strength of 205 MPa were exhibited in the QPT-treated sample with a V-rich carbide of high hardness, a Cr-rich carbide of brittleness and a high-proportion martensite. Meanwhile, a phase transformation from retained austenite to martensite could increase the hardness and enhance wear resistance based on the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect; its wear rate was only 1.83 × 10−6 mm−3/(N·m). However, the wear rates of the samples under QP, QPT and MQP heat treatments increased by 16.4%, 44.3% and 41.0%, respectively. The wear mechanism was a synergistic effect of the adhesive wear mechanism and the abrasive wear mechanism. The adhesive wear mechanism was mainly considered in the MQPT-treated sample to reduce the wear rate attributed to high-proportion retained austenite and the existence of wear debris with a W element on the surface of the wear track. However, the abrasive wear mechanism could exist in the other samples because of a lot of thick, brittle M7C3, thereby resulting in a higher wear rate due to immediate contact between the designed material and the counterpart.

In order to improve the wear resistance of 27SiMn steel substrate, Fe−based alloy coatings were prepared by laser cladding technology in the present study. In comparison to the conventional gravity powder feeding (GF) process, high−speed powder feeding (HF) process was used to prepare Fe−based alloy coating on 27SiMn steel substrate. The effect of diversified energy composition of powder materials on the microstructure and properties of coatings were systematically studied. X−ray diffractometer (XRD), optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to analyze the phase structure and microstructure of Fe−based alloy coatings, and the hardness and tribological properties were measured by the microhardness tester and ball on disc wear tester, respectively. The results show that the microstructure of conventional gravity feeding (GF) coatings was composed of coarse columnar crystals. In comparison, owing to the diversification of energy composition, the microstructure of the high−speed powder feeding (HF) coatings consists of uniform and small grains. The total energy of the HF process was 75.5% of that of the GF process, proving that high−efficiency cladding can be achieved at lower laser energy. The refinement of the microstructure is beneficial to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the coating, and the hardness of the HF coating increased by 9.4% and the wear loss decreased to 80.5%, compared with the GF coating. The wear surface of the HF coating suffered less damage, and the wear mechanism was slightly adhesive wear. In contrast, wear was more serious in the GF coating, and the wear mechanism was transformed into severe adhesive wear.

ABSTRACTOne measure of the surface mechanical properties of materials can be obtained through microhardness data. The success of microhardness in predicting the improvements in wear resistance of ion implanted metals has been mixed. In this paper the cases of N implantation into 304 S.S. and Ti implantation into 52100 bearing steel will be examined. Microhardness data indicates little or no hardness changes whereas large wear rate changes are observed. From these two examples it is clear that the wear mechanism, the chemical nature of the surface, the ductility, and the toughness can be more important than the hardness changes.

The morphology of eutectic and primary silicon phases was analyzed by OM and SEM. OM and SEM results show that pure Nd can significantly refine both eutectic and primary silicon of hypereutectic Al-20%Si alloy. Morphology of primary silicon is transformed from star-shaped and irregular morphology to fine polyhedral and grain size of primary silicon is refined from 80~120 μm to 20~50 μm. Friction and wear resistance tests show that friction coefficient of Al-20%Si alloy reduces after Nd modification. Wear resistance of Al-20%Si alloy after modification is significantly improved as compared to the initial sample. The dominant wear mechanism for 0.3% Nd modified alloy is abrasive wear, adhesive wear and oxidative wear mechanism, but wear mechanism for unmodified alloy is abrasive wear and adhesive wear mechanism.
