Friction And Wear Properties

A comparative study on the friction and wear properties of three kinds of copper alloys, including Cu-Ni based, Cu-Al and Cu-Be alloys was carried out in this study. The friction pair was stainless steel, and both dry and MoS2 lubrication friction experiments were investigated. During the experiments, different loads were chosen for different alloys. It was found that under dry friction condition, the friction coefficients of both Cu-Ni based and Cu-Al alloys did not change as the loads changes, whereas the friction coefficient of Cu-Be alloy increased as the loads increases. Under lubrication friction condition, the friction coefficients of all three alloys did not change as the load changes. The results show that the dry friction coefficient of Cu-Ni based alloy was the largest (0.74), the Cu-Al alloy next (0.60), and the Cu-Be alloy had the smallest dry friction coefficient (0.54). The lubrication friction coefficient of Cu-Ni based and Cu-Be was equal and relatively smaller (0.12), whereas the Cu-Al alloy had a relative larger lubrication friction coefficient (0.27). The microstructure observations were consistent with the friction and wear performance, and the SEM results show that different wear mechanisms were dominated for different alloys.

The Law

The friction and wear properties of the friction stir jointing 7022 aluminum alloy joining region were tested in this paper. The friction coefficients and wearing capacities of the joining regions under different joining process parameters were obtained. The experiment results showed that the friction coefficients and wearing capacities of the joining regions had a certain relationship with the hardness, but not became direct ratio relation. The friction coefficient of the joining region was smaller than that of the base metal. This main reason was base metal was lath-shaped grain, and the joining region was isometric crystal. The wear volume under 400/30 parameters was minimum. The wear volume was greatly influenced by the hardness of the joining region, but was not direct proportion relationship. Due to the random factors influence in friction process, the law of the friction coefficient reflecting friction and wear was not the same with the law of wear volume reflecting friction and wear. The friction form was abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

Friction And Wear Properties

Purpose This paper aims to obtain high mechanical and good tribological properties of epoxy resin-based coatings under dry friction conditions. Design/methodology/approach Bonded solid lubricant coatings containing Kevlar fibres were prepared by a spraying method. The friction and wear properties of the coatings were experimentally investigated with a face-to-face tribometre under dry friction conditions. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and 3D laser scanning technologies were used to characterise the tribological properties. The action mechanism of the Kevlar fibres on a solid lubricant transfer film was also analysed. Findings Adding Kevlar fibres can significantly improve the wear resistance of the coatings. When the Kevlar fibre content increases, the tribological properties of the coatings improve and then worsen. Superior properties are obtained with 0.03 g of Kevlar fibres. Appropriately increasing the load or speed is beneficial to the removal of the outer epoxy resin and the formation of a lubricant film. During friction, the solid lubricants wrapped in the epoxy resin accumulate on the surface to form a transfer film that shows a good self-lubricating performance. In the later friction stage, fatigue cracks occur on the solid lubricant film but cannot connect to one another because of the high wear resistance and the entanglement of the rod-like Kevlar fibres. Thus, no large-area film falls from the matrix, thereby ensuring the long-term functioning of solid lubricant coatings. Originality/value Epoxy resin-based solid lubricant coatings modified by Kevlar fibres were prepared, and their friction and wear properties were investigated. Their tribological mechanisms were also proposed. This work provided a basis for the analysis of the tribological properties and design of bonded solid lubricant coatings containing Kevlar fibres.

Friction And Wear Properties

In the present work, the friction and wear properties of Polypropylene (PP) based composites filled with Hydroxyapatite (HA) particles were studied. Fillers contents in the PP were 10, 20, and 30 wt%. The effects of hydroxyapatite ratio on the water absorption, friction and wear properties of the polymer composites is presented. The result showed that the addition of HA to the composite changed the water absorption, friction coefficient and wear rate.

The tribological performance of Polyetherimide (PEI) composites filled with different Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content was comparatively evaluated on MM-200 test rig in block-on-ring configuration under dry friction condition. The microstructures of worn surfaces, fractured surfaces and wear mechanisms of the PEI composite were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The variations of elastic modulus and surface hardness with variation in composition were also investigated. The results showed that under conditions of dry friction the PTFE can lower the friction coefficient and reduce wear of the PEI composites. When filled with 10 wt. % PTFE, the composite had the lowest wear rate. For PEI filled with 5wt. % PTFE the friction coefficient was about 0.3 and remained comparatively stable with increase of the PTFE content.

Friction And Wear Properties

The friction and wear properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings before and after gamma irradiation were studied under vacuum conditions. Experimental results indicated that the friction and wear properties of PTFE coatings were improved by gamma irradiation. Results showed that the wear process of PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation consists of three stages. The steps for the irradiated PTFE are slightly longer than that for the non-irradiated samples. The friction coefficient of irradiated PTFE coatings reduces slightly compared to that of the non-irradiated samples. The friction coefficients of the PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation first increase with the increase of sliding velocity and then decrease with the increase of sliding velocity, and The friction coefficient of PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation decreases with the increase of load. The wear of irradiated PTFE coatings is slightly lower than that of non-irradiated PTFE coatings. The wear of PTFE coatings before and after gamma irradiation first decreases with the increase of sliding speed and then increases as the sliding speed increases. The wear of PTFE coatings first decreases with the increase of load and then increases with the increase of load. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to investigate the worn surfaces.

Diamond Bit

To reduce the friction coefficient between impregnated diamond bit and rock, experiments on addition of graphite to the matrix material of bit cutters were conducted. The cutters were made up of diamond contained working layers and binding layers. The friction and wear properties of cutters and binding layers were investigated using a pin-on-disc friction & wear tester with granite as tribopair. The results showed that with addition of graphite, the hardness and friction coefficient of binding layer decreased, but its wear resistance increased; compared to cutters without graphite, those cutters containing graphite had lower wear loss and friction coefficient and their sliding wear process was much steadier, but diamond protrusion was still normal.

Friction And Wear Properties

The friction and wear properties of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs lubricated by n- Al2O3 additives under ultrasonic vibration or not were studied. The scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were carried out to analyse the wear scar surface. The effect mechanism of ultrasonic vibration on friction pairs was discussed. The results indicated that ultrasonic vibration could decrease the friction and wear of GCr15/45# friction pairs, when the content of n-Al2O3 was 0.5wt%, the effect of ultrasonic vibration on friction pairs was most obvious. The friction coefficient, wear volume and wear scar depth under ultrasonic vibration decreased 10%, 34% and 13%, respectively. The friction reduction and anti-wear mechanism of n-Al2O3 was single “micro ball bearing” without ultrasonic vibration, and it changed to “micro ball bearing” and adsorption penetration film with ultrasonic vibration, so the friction coefficient and wear volume was reduced.
