Abstract Stainless steels along with Nickel based alloys are often selected for many applications in corrosive environments. While resistance to corrosion makes them a favorable choice, poor tribological behavior may prevent a broader use of these materials. The Kolsterising® process is a proven method for the surface hardening of these materials by the diffusion of carbon. This paper intends to highlight the improvements typically seen in key mechanical properties including resistance to galling, wear resistance, and fatigue life. Untypically, due to the nature of the process, these properties are generally improved without the usual associated reduction in corrosion resistance. Property improvements will be demonstrated using both new and existing data from Europe and North America.

Potential relations of tribological characteristics of aluminum antifriction alloys with their compositions and mechanical properties were investigated. In this regard, the properties of eight aluminum alloys containing tin from 5.4% to 11% doped with lead, copper, silicon, zinc, magnesium, and titanium were studied. Mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, relative extension, and impact strength were analyzed. Within the tribological tests seizure load and wear of material were evaluated and secondary structures were studied afterwards. The absence of a definitive correlation between tribological behavior and mechanical properties was shown. It was determined that doping tin over 6% is excessive. The seizure load of the alloys increases with the magnesium content. Secondary structures of the alloys with higher wear rates contain one order less magnesium and tin.

Five ZrO2-based composites (ZrO2-WC, ZrO2-TiCN and ZrO2-TiN grades) and five WC-Co cemented carbide grades were machined by wire-EDM and tested on a linearly reciprocating sliding pin-on-flat tribometer PLINT TE77 in dry conditions against WC-6wt%Co pins. Measurement of friction coefficient and penetration depth due to wear was performed continuously. The results revealed a strong influence of the secondary phase, surface finish, chemical and mechanical properties on the tribological characteristics of the ZrO2-based composites and cemented carbides. WC10Co(Cr/V) displayed superior wear resistance compared to the other grades. The lowest coefficient of friction was encountered with ZrO2-WC.

Abstract Carlson alloy 926 Mo is a superaustenitic 6% Mo stainless steel that resists highly corrosive environments and has excellent chloride pitting, crevice, and stress-corrosion cracking resistance. It can be utilized where the performance of conventional austenitic stainless steels is bor-derline, or as a cost-effective substitute for nickel alloys. The higher mechanical properties that allow designs with thinner sections than con-ventional stainless steels are highly desired for oil platforms. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-842. Producer or source: G.O. Carlson Inc., Electralloy.

Abstract The research described in this article is a fragment in the series of published works trying to determine the applicability of new materials for parts of the mining machinery. Tests were performed on two groups of austempered ductile iron - one of which contained 1.5% Ni and 0.5% Mo, while the other contained 1.9% Ni and 0.9% Cu. Each group has been heat treated according to the three different heat treatment variants and then the material was subjected to detailed testing of mechanical properties and abrasion wear resistance, measuring also hardness and magnetic properties, and conducting microstructural examinations. The results indicated that each of the tested materials was senstive to the surface hardening effect, which resulted in high wear resistance. It has been found that high temperature of austempering, i.e. 370°C, favours high wear resistance of ductile iron containing nickel and molybdenum. Low temperature of austempering, i.e. 270°C, develops high wear resistance in ductile iron containing nickel and copper. Both these materials offer completely different mechanical properties and as such can be used for different and specific applications.

SS440C steels show potential as highest mechanical properties compared to others martensitic stainless steels. As their properties can be altered by some particular heat treatments, this steel is suitable for a extensive ranges of applications such as bearings, gage blocks, races, valve parts and many other manufacturing important components. Unfortunately, bare SS440C substrates corrode too quickly under corrosive environments. Surface modifications that are able to reduce corrosion rates to suitable levels will allow SS440C to become a reality for much more applications [1-.

In this paper, Al2O3/7075 composites were prepared by mechanical alloying with subsequent hot-pressing sintering, and the effect of Al2O3 nanoparticle on the mechanical and tribological behavior of 7075 was studied. The mechanical property results showed that the hardness and compressive strength of Al2O3/7075 composites first increased and then decreased with Al2O3 amount increasing, and 5 wt.% Al2O3 addition made the material exhibit excellent comprehensive mechanical properties. The tribological properties also indicated that 5 wt.% Al2O3 nanoparticle significantly improved the high-temperature wear resistance of 7075 alloys. Thus, all the mechanical and tribological results confirmed that the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticle was a better strengthening way for 7075 alloys at high temperatures.

Effect of carbon nanotube(CNT) on structure, strength and tribological behavior of CNT/PU composites is studied in the filler range of 5 vol%. It is found that differences in filler content used to determine the type of structure evolved and patterns of variation of mechanical properties, friction and wear in response to increasing filler content. It is found that wear of low-filled CNT/PU composites is dominated by delamination mechanism and wear resistance changes correlate with structural transformations of the composites. The maximum increase in wear resistance of the PU composites is reached at 2 vol% filling.

Abstract Aluminum alloy AA1100 has less wear resistance and mechanical properties than that of other aluminum alloys. This research work is on the fabrication of surface composites of AA1100 alloy by friction stir processing (FSP). The surface composites are fabricated by reinforcing hBN (hexagonal Boron Nitride) in AA1100 alloy to improve the mechanical and tribological properties. The influence of process parameters, rotational speed (rpm), and transverse speed (mm/min) on the microstructural evolution and properties of the fabricated surface composites is investigated.
