Since solid particles suspended in the fluid can cause wear in centrifugal pumps, intensive attention has been focused on the numerical prediction for the wear of flow parts in centrifugal pumps. However, most numerical studies have focused on only one wear model and a sphere particle model. The impact of particle shape on the wear of flow parts in centrifugal pumps is under-studied, particularly considering abrasive and impact wear simultaneously. In this work, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-Discrete Element Method (DEM) coupling method with an abrasive and impact wear prediction model was adopted to study the wear characteristics of a centrifugal pump. Moreover, four regular polyhedron particles and a sphere particle with the same equivalent diameter but different sphericity were mainly analyzed. The results demonstrate that more particles move closer to the blade pressure side in the impeller passage, and particles tend to cluster in specific areas within the volute as sphericity increases. The volute suffers the principal wear erosion no matter what the shapes of particles and wear model are. Both the impact and abrasive wear within the impeller occur primarily on the blade leading edge. The pump’s overall impact wear rate decreases first and then increases with particle sphericity rising, while the pump’s overall abrasive wear rate grows steadily.

For vibration-wear characteristics of cutter in high speed ball-end milling hardened steel, established vibration-wear model of high speed milling cutter according to the principle of friction work, researched the influence of basic frequency and multiplication frequency of cutter vibration on its wear, and analyzed the interaction between cutter vibration and wear. By means of changing cutter extended length, rotation speed and cutting depth, made the change of cutter vibration, analyzed the influence of cutter vibration on its fretting and impact wear, explored the evolution process of composite vibration wear of cutter. Results show that the interaction between fretting fatigue wear and the impact wear make for cutter vibration-wear, lead to the increase of cutting force and vibration amplitude, and further increase the interaction strength of vibration and wear.

An energy-controlled cycling impact test was applied to evaluate the impact wear behavior of hard coating. A multilayer TiN/Ti coating with a total thickness of ~10 μm, containing two TiN layers and two Ti layers, with the thickness ratio of these two kinds of the layers being 9:1, was chosen as the research object. The impact velocities were 60, 120, and 180 mm/s, and the impact cycles were 10, 102, 103, and 104, respectively. Damage morphology observation and numerical simulation were used to analyze the failure mechanisms. The results show that the contact time keeps almost constant under different impact velocities and cycles. Impact peak forces remain unchanged with increasing cycles at the same velocity, but they increase linearly with impact velocities, reaching a maximum value of 262.26 N at 180 mm/s. The energy dissipated rate (EDR) increases from 31.58% at 60 mm/s to 35.59% at 180 mm/s, indicating the degenerative toughness. Two impact-wear failure mechanisms are found in impact zones of the coating; these are peeling and circular cracks. Peelings are induced by cycling high-stress gradients in hard layers and interfaces. Circular cracks are caused by cycling tensile stresses in the form of fatigue at the edge of impacted pits.

The wear process between two elastic bodies, repeatedly impacting in an axially symmetric configuration is investigated analytically and experimentally. The mechanism initiating wear is that of surface fatigue, and the paper aims to explain the geometric process of wear formation beyond the “zero wear limit.” In doing so, an engineering, predictive model is sought, whereby the depth of a worn crater is related to the stresses arising during impact and to the number of loading cycles on the specimen. Four major accomplishments are embodied in the paper: (1) the quasi-static analysis of impact on a medium of nonuniform (cratered) surface geometry, (2) a heuristic derivation of the optimum wearpath, (3) derivation of the partial differential equation of normal impact wear, and (4) computation of the impact wear process for two discrete impact wear configurations and comparison of experimental work with the analytical results. The resulting conclusion is that impact wear proceeds at continuously varying curvature until the soft body conforms to the shape of the hard indenter. By equating the hysteretic wear energy with a fraction of the peak strain energy, quantitative wear history predictions are made for discrete geometries, such as a hard sphere impacting against a soft plane. Some experimental results are given between steel and aluminum specimens, confirming the analytical predictions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tribological properties of the WC/TiC-Co substrate under different loading conditions under three impact abrasive wear conditions. Design/methodology/approach The three body collisional wear behavior of Co alloy with WC and TiC at three impact energy was studied from 1 to 3 J. Meanwhile, the microstructure, hardness, phase transformation and wear behavior of these specimens were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Rockwell hardness (HRV), EDS and impact wear tester. The resulting wear rate was quantified by electronic balance measurements under different pressures. Findings The specific wear rate increases with the increase of the nonlinearity of the impact energy and the increase in the content of WC or TiC. The effect of TiC on wear rate is greater than that of WC, but the hardness is smaller. The wear characteristics of the samples are mainly characterized by three kinds of behavior, such as cutting wear, abrasive wear and strain fatigue wear. The WC-Co with fewer TiC samples suffered heavier abrasive wear than the more TiC samples under both low and high impact energy and underwent fewer strain fatigue wears under high impact energy. Originality/value The experimental results show that the wear resistance of the Co alloy is improved effectively and the excellent impact wear performance is achieved. The results can be used in cutting tools such as coal mine cutting machines or other fields.

Metal matrix composites are attractive light weight materials with potential attributes to substitute automotive materials without sacrifing performance. This present study aims to investigate the wear characteristics of aluminium (Al) 6061 reinforced with silicon carbide particles (SiCp) of three (3) different particle sizes. The reinforcement consist of coarse particle (80μm), intermediate (40μm) and fine particles (15μm) particle sizes with 10, 5, 5 wt% respectively. The composite was fabricated using the stir casting technique due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness. The wear test was conducted using the pin on disc tribo-system with steel disc counter surface. The outcome of this study reveals that the MPS-SiC AMC exhibit better wear and frictional characteristics for brake rotor application. The coarse particles have better contribution to wear resistance because the possibility of particle pullout from the matrix for both intermediate and fine particles is high due to small surface contact area. However, the intermediate and fine particle compensates for multiple shielding effect for the base matrix thus influences the impact energy and mechanical strength of the composite. The friction coefficient (0.32 - 0.46) of the MPS-SiC AMC falls within the acceptable deviation band for automotive brake rotor application
