The results of tribological tests for a cathodic arc nickel coating doped with phosphorus are presented. The coating (thickness of 2 μm) is applied by a vacuum arc method from a nickel target with 6% phosphorus. The friction coefficient (Cfr) was determined on the tribometer, the depth of wear h of the coating after tribological tests was determined by the contact profilometry method, and the specific volumetric wear (ω) was calculated. The obtained values of Cfr, ω, and h were used to optimize the parameters of tribological tests (load and slip frequency).

Abstract The results of high-temperature tribological tests of carbon-containing material in friction on heat-resistant stainless steel 40X13 in the temperature range from 20 to 700 °C under atmospheric conditions are presented. Friction surface modifiers “Argolon-2D” material improve antifriction properties and decrease friction coefficient value. Friction coefficient when using Ni-Se-PTFE modifier at load of 0.67 MPa and speed of 0.16 m/s is less by 5% than at speed of 0.05 m/s, and at speed of 0.25 m/s friction coefficient is less by 13% than at speed of 0.05 m/s. At 500 °C and a load of 0.67 MPa the friction coefficient when using Ni-Se-PTFE modifier is 30% higher than when using InSb-PTFE modifier, and the friction coefficient when using CuO-PTFE modifier is 1.2 times higher than when using InSb-PTFE modifier.

The properties of anodized aluminum, and wear resistance in particular, are of high interest for the scientific community. In this study, discs of AA6082 were subjected to a peculiar hard anodizing process leading to anodized samples having different thicknesses. In order to investigate the wear mechanism of samples, unidirectional tribological tests were performed against alumina balls (corundum) under different loading conditions. Surface and microstructure of all the samples were characterized before and after the tribological tests, using different characterization techniques. The tribological tests showed remarkable differences in the friction coefficient and wear behavior of the anodized AA6082 samples, related to the microstructure modifications and to the specific applied sliding conditions.

The mechanical alloying method process has been innovatively used to prepare Cu-Cr coating on the inner wall of steel pipe. The effect of the rotating speed on thickness, microhardness and friction coefficient of the Cu-Cr coating was investigated. The coating thickness was measured from all samples using optical microscope. The microhardness was analyzed by Digital Microhardness Tester. The friction coefficient was tested by high speed reciprocating friction testing machine. The results show that the coating thickness is 26, 29 and 31μm at the rotating speed of 200, 250 and 300 rpm. The microhardness of the Cu-Cr coating prepared at 200, 250 and 300 rpm are about 760, 780 and 830 Hv. The friction coefficient of the Cu-Cr coating prepared at 200 rpm are about 0.25, 0.40 and 0.38 at the frequencies of 3, 4 and 5 Hz. The friction coefficient of the Cu-Cr coating prepared at 250 rpm are about 0.30, 0.29 and 0.20 at the frequencies of 3, 4 and 5 Hz. The friction coefficient of the Cu-Cr coating prepared at 300 rpm are about 0.10, 0.13 and 0.09 at the frequencies of 3, 4 and 5 Hz.

Electroplated nickel coating on cemented carbide is a potential pretreatment technique for providing an interlayer prior to diamond deposition on the hard metal substrate. The electroplated nickel coating is expected to be of high quality, for example, indicated by having adequate thickness and uniformity. Electroplating parameters should be set accordingly for this purpose. In this study, the gap distances between the electrodes and duration of electroplating process are the investigated variables. Their effect on the coating thickness and uniformity was analyzed and quantified using design of experiment. The nickel deposition was carried out by electroplating in a standard Watt’s solution keeping other plating parameters (current: 0.1 Amp, electric potential: 1.0 V, and pH: 3.5) constant. The gap distance between anode and cathode varied at 5, 10, and 15 mm, while the plating time was 10, 20, and 30 minutes. Coating thickness was found to be proportional to the plating time and inversely proportional to the electrode gap distance, while the uniformity tends to improve at a large electrode gap. Empirical models of both coating thickness and uniformity were developed within the ranges of the gap distance and plating time settings, and an optimized solution was determined using these models.

Experimental investigations were carried out to verify if the friction reduction in lubrication can be expanded by a textured surface with sawtooth riblets. Sawtooth riblets were formed by ultraprecision diamond cutting, with a ridge angle of about 60°–90° and height of about 20–50 μm on the contact surface. Six types of textured surfaces with different ridge angles, heights, and sliding directions were tested and compared with the untextured surface. The tribological tests were conducted by a flat-on-flat tribometer in lubrication. The effects of the ridge angle, height, and relative sliding direction on the friction coefficient in lubrication were reported.

The influence of nano-sizeWS2powders on the tribological behavior of ta-C coatings by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) method under boundary lubrication conditions has been investigated. In order to characterize and understand tribological behaviors of nano-sizeWS2powders added to the synthetic oil (poly-alpha-olefin 6), lubricants with different mixture ratios, ranging from 2 to 8 wt%, have been prepared. ta-C coatings fabricated by FCVA method showed that the G-peak in the obtained Raman spectrum was shifted from 1520 to 1586 cm−1, indicating the sp3content increased for samples with the thickness of 156 nm. The average friction coefficient decreased proportionally as the nano-sizeWS2compositions increased up to 4 wt% in PAO6. After the friction test, structures and particle sizes ofWS2phases were also precisely characterized by using XRD and SEM.

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a coating technique that relies on the creation of a vapor phase, under vacuum conditions, that condenses on a substrate to form a coating. PVD coatings of titanium nitride are commonly used in functional applications to promote faster cutting speeds and to prolong tool life, leading to operational cost savings and improved productivity. Some of the limitations of a PVD coating for functional applications are based on the coating thickness, where a lower coating thickness reduces the wear volume available on a contacting surface. Also of issue is the presence of globules or "macros" in the coating resulting in a non-homogeneous, rougher surface. The formation of macros in a PVD coating is particularly associated with the cathodic arc PVD system. This study investigated the effects of chamber pressure, substrate bias voltage and arc current and their interaction, on physical parameters of titanium nitride coatings deposited in a commercial cathodic arc PVD system. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to provide a measure of the consistency of the coating topography and an indication of the number of macros in the coatings. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to provide numerical values for the roughness of the coatings. The information from these two instruments was combined to provide the optimum processing conditions for the reduction of macros.

Titanium nitride ( TiN ) widely used as hard coating material, was coated on tool steels, namely on high-speed steel (HSS) and D2 tool steel by physical vapor deposition method. The study concentrated on cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD), a technique used for the deposition of hard coatings for tooling applications, and which has many advantages. The main drawback of this technique, however, is the formation of macrodroplets (MDs) during deposition, resulting in films with rougher morphology. Various standard characterization techniques and equipment, such as electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, hardness testing machine, scratch tester, and pin-on-disc machine, were used to analyze and quantify the following properties and parameters: surface morphology, thickness, hardness, adhesion, and coefficient of friction (COF) of the deposited coatings. Surface morphology revealed that the MDs produced during the etching stage, protruded through the TiN film, resulting in film with deteriorated surface features. Both coating thickness and indentation loads influenced the hardness of the deposited coatings. The coatings deposited on HSS exhibit better adhesion compared to those on D2 tool steel. Standard deviation indicates that the coating deposited with thickness around 6.7 μm showed the most stable trend of COF versus sliding distance.

Nickel coating on zinc alloy is quite promising for the achievement of an additional wear improvement in corrosive environment. To investigate this point, block-on-ring tests were carried out. Blocks measuring 5 × 5×20 mm3 were obtained from real locking components, made of ZP5 EN 12844 and coated by Zn/Cu1Ni5s ISO 1458. As counter material, an AISI 304 with a 40 mm diameter cylindrical geometry was used. Three load levels (5, 10 and 15 N) and three coating thickness levels (low: 5 to 10 µm; medium: 10 to 15 µm; high: 15 to 20 µm) were considered. The sliding distance was initially set to 500 m. Then, since the coating was worn out very quickly during the test, the sliding distance was set to 150 m. The results, in terms of volume loss due to wear, were processed using the statistical tool of two-way ANOVA and Fisher test. It was assessed that the wear rate is strongly affected by the applied load. The coating thickness does not significantly affect the wear.
