In this study, the effect of different counterparts on the wear resistance of AA6082 aluminum alloy was investigated. In tests using pin-on-disk method, 6 mm diameter Al2O3, 100Cr6 and WC-6Co balls were used as counterparts. The tests were carried out using 500 m sliding distance and 5N load. The lowest specific wear rate was measured as 7.58x10-4 mm3/Nm in WC-6Co / AA6082 couple, and the highest value was measured as 9.71x10-4 mm3/Nm in 100Cr6/AA6082 couple. In the Al2O3/AA6082 couple, the specific wear rate of the AA6082-T6 sample was determined as 8.23x10-4 mm3/Nm.While it was observed that the dominant wear type in the 100Cr6/AA6082 pair was abrasive wear, oxidation wear and oxide tribofilm were detected in the WC-6Co/AA6082 and Al2O3/AA6082 couple besides the abrasive wear.

Pin-on-disk technique was used as a tool to study the tribological properties of contacting surfaces of alumina-titanium carbide composite material and diamond slicing blade. Conditions for testing are linear sliding speed between 0.2 and 0.4 m/s under applied load of 10 N and sliding distance up to 5000 m. The physical properties of both specimens which are mass loss, surface roughness and morphology of worn surface are investigated. The effect of linear sliding speed is analyzed in term of friction coefficient, surface roughness, and specific wear rate. It was found that, at initial state of wear, when sliding distant is less than 1000 m, the wear is severe, as seen by high values of specific wear rate and large fluctuation of friction coefficient. Worn surface of AlTiC is rougher than as-received condition. For a longer sliding distant, milder abrasion is found, as seen by the lower specific wear rate, and less fluctuation of friction coefficient, which produces worn AlTiC surface which is smoother than the as-received condition.

Three-body abrasive wear behavior of basalt–epoxy (B–E) and glass–epoxy (G–E) composites have been investigated using Dry sand rubber wheel abrasion resistance for various abrading distance, viz., 150, 300, 450 and 600m and different loads(22N and 32N) at 200 rpm. The weight loss and specific wear rate as a function of load and abrading distance were determined. The weight loss increases with increasing load and also with abrading distance while the specific wear rate decreases with increase in abrading distance and increases with the load. Better abrasion wear resistance was observed in B-E composite compared to G–E composite. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used to examine the abraded composite specimens and revealed that the more damage occur to glass fiber compared to basalt fiber. Also good interfacial adhesion was observed between epoxy and basalt fiber which leads to good abrasive wear resistance.

Anodic oxide coatings are applied on aluminum alloys in order to improve corrosion resistance and to increase hardness and wear resistance. In the current study, a hard anodic coating was applied on AA7075-T6 aluminum alloy. To survey the anodizing temperature (electrolyte temperature) effect, three temperatures, namely, [Formula: see text]C, 0∘C and 5∘C were chosen and the samples were sealed in boiling water and sodium dichromate to study the role of sealing. For measuring the oxide coatings porosity and hardness and also for comparing the samples’ wear resistance field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), microhardness test and pin-on-disk method were utilized, respectively. The results showed that by increasing the anodizing temperature, hardness and consequently wear resistance decreased so that hardness and weight loss in the samples with no sealing decreased from 460[Formula: see text]HV and 0.61[Formula: see text]mg at [Formula: see text]C to 405 and 358[Formula: see text]HV and 1.05 and 1.12[Formula: see text]mg at 0∘C and 5∘C, respectively, which is due to the porosity increment by increasing the anodizing temperature. Also, sealing in boiling water and dichromate contributed to soft phases and coating hydration, which resulted in a decrease in hardness and wear resistance. Hardness and weight loss in the coated samples at [Formula: see text]C decreased from 460[Formula: see text]HV and 0.61[Formula: see text]mg in the samples with no sealing to 435 and 417[Formula: see text]HV and 0.72 and 0.83[Formula: see text]mg in the samples sealed in boiling water and dichromate, respectively.

Influence of laser treatment on mechanical properties, wear resistance, and Vickers hardness of aluminum alloy was studied. The specimens were treated by using Nd:YaG laser of energy 780 mj, wavelength 512 nm, and duration time 8 ns. The wear behavior of the specimens was studied for all specimens before and after treatment by Nd:YaG laser and the dry wear experiments were carried out by sing pinon-disc technique. The specimens were machined as a disk with diameter of 25 mm and circular groove in depth of 3 mm. All specimens were conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray florescence analysis (EDS), optical microscopy, and Vickers hardness. The results showed that the dry wear rate was decreased after laser hardening and increased Vickers hardness values by ratio of 2.4 : 1. The results showed that the values of wear rate for samples having circular grooves are less than samples without grooves after laser treatment.

(1) In order to improve the properties of antifriction and wear resistance of polyimide (PI) composite under high temperature conditions, (2) 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and Lanthanum (La) salt modifications were employed to manufacture poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole (PBO)/PI composites with different interface properties. The representative ambient temperatures of 130 and 260 °C were chosen to study the friction and wear behavior of composites with different interface properties. (3) Results revealed that while both modification methods can improve the chemical activity of the surface of PBO fibers, the La salt modification is more effective. The friction coefficient of all composites decreases with the increase of sliding velocity and load at two temperatures, and the specific wear rate is increases. Contrary to the situation in the 130 °C environment, the wear resistance of the unmodified composite in the 260 °C environment is greatly affected by the sliding velocity and load, while the modified composites are less affected. Under the same test parameters, the PBO–La/PI composite has the lowest specific wear rate and friction coefficient, and (4) La salt modification is a more effective approach to improve the properties of antifriction and wear resistance of PI composite than APTES modification in high ambient temperatures.

In the present study, the composites of A357 (Al-7%Si) alloy reinforced with the bimodal sizes (~250µm (L) and ~38 µm (S)) of 6wt% SiCp and the A357 alloy were prepared by permanent mould die casting. Three different combinations of bimodal distributions were considered: (3% L + 3% S, 4% L + 2% S, and 2% L + 4% S). The wear behavior of the alloy and the composites was studied for the speed of 1 m/s and load conditions of 10-30 N with an interval of 5 N in a pin on disc apparatus. The hardness and microstructure of the composites were also characteristised. The results suggest that the addition of bimodal size of particles significantly improves the hardness and wear resistance of the alloy. Among the different combinations, the 4% L + 2% S bimodal distribution combination provides the highest wear resistance and the hardness. This result indicates that the higher amount of large size particles are more important than that of small size particles to improve the wear resistance, which implies that the particle decohesion is the rate controlling step in the present investigation. The wear rate increases with an increase of load and sliding distance. The critical load to enter into the severe wear regime for the alloy and composites is 25 N. The rapid wear loss begins above 1500 m sliding distance in the composites and the as cast alloy. The wear rate curve with respect to the sliding distance shows three regimes (1) transition period (2) steady state (3) severe wear state. The wear morphology studies show that the abrasive wear is the main wear mechanism in the bimodal size composites whereas the delamination wear is predominant in the alloy.

Ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites are known for their high wear resistance. A coating based on these materials would be helpful to improve the wear behavior of aluminum alloys. Laser cladding has been used to deposit a coating consisting of an aluminum alloy reinforced with SiC particles on an AA6082 aluminum alloy. Laser cladding is a very energetic technique that causes the SiC particles to react with the molten aluminum to form Al4C3, which degrades the particles and reduces the properties of the coating. The formation of this detrimental compound was successfully achieved with the addition of Silicon and Titanium to the composite matrix. The microstructures of the newly developed material were characterized and the wear behavior was studied under dry sliding conditions on a pin-on-disc tribometer. The relationship between the microstructure and wear behavior was identified. The absence of Al4C3 in the Al40Si/SiC and Al12Si20Ti/SiC coatings’ microstructures resulted in an abrasion mechanism instead of a delamination mechanism. The wear behavior changed along the sliding distances. During the first 200 m of sliding distances, the wear rate of all coatings was lower than the uncoated one due to their higher microhardness. For longer sliding distances, the wear resistance of the uncoated AA6082 was higher than the coated ones due to the formation of a lubricant oxide layer on the AA6082 worn surface. For 1000 m of wear distances, the wear behavior was different for each coating. The wear rate of the Al12Si/SiC coating continued growing due to the delamination mechanism and the presence of Al4C3 that acted as starting crack points. The wear rate of the Al40Si/SiC coating decreased due to the formation of a thin, superficial oxide layer. The wear rate of the Al12SiTi/SiC progressively decreased along the sliding distance to below the substrate wear rate.

The wear behavior of CFRP laminates with nano-particles dispersed surfaces of Al2O3 or carbon has been investigated and compared with that of conventional CFRP which is without particles dispersed surfaces. As a result of comparison, it is shown that the CFRP laminate with Al2O3 nano-particles dispersed surfaces inherently had low coefficient of friction and high sliding wear resistance. The measured value of specific wear rate was 3.5x10-7mm3/Nm, independently of sliding time. The wear behavior of CFRP laminates with carbon nano-particles dispersed surfaces has been more effectively improved. The measured specific wear rate of this material was in the range of 10- 7mm3/Nm in spite of comparatively small amount of nano-particles dispersion, which is relatively good as tribomaterial. For the successful application of this method, it is essential to explore the optimum amount of Al2O3 or carbon nano-particles to be dispersed onto prepreg surfaces. The deflocculation of the agglomerated particles and their homogeneous dispersion and good impregnation are the key points in this technology.

Seal materials often lose their effectiveness due to the wear of surface under the combined effect of environment and load. In this research, a metallurgical bonding composite coating reinforced with nickel -coated tungsten carbide (Ni -WC) particles was produced on 40Cr carbon steel substrate by plasma sprayed. The bond strength of the coating/substrate interface and the tensile strength of the coating itself reached 260–330 and 100–132MPa, respectively. Effects of Ni and WC contents on the wear behavior of the coating have been systematically investigated at two different wear conditions, namely the high stress pin-on-disk abrasion and three-body abrasive wear. The results show that the higher the Ni content in the coating, the lower the hardness and wear resistance. In stress pin-on-disk abrasive wear, the mass percent of Ni in the coating having the lowest wear amount was 40%, and which was 60% in three-body abrasion. In view of the above, the WC reinforcement of the composite coating plays an important role in protecting the matrix from being worn-out, whereas in the abrasive wear, the wear mechanism is mainly controlled by the scratching and micro-cutting of the matrix followed by the pull out of WC particles due to the scratching action of abrasives. The wear resistance of the 40Cr carbon steel composite coating (Ni -WC) is better than that of the flame overlaid coating.

The abrasion failure is the key factor for prolonging the service life and energy saving of furrow openers. The hardness enhancement was reported to be an effective strategy to increase the wear resistance against the soil abrasion. D517 coatings were deposited on Q235 steel by electric spark to improve the wear-resistant property with an affordable cost for farmers. The wear behavior of the coatings was characterized in a pin on disk friction equipment and a homemade soil abrasion simulation system. The soil adhesion, which is highly related to energy consumption, was also evaluated. Results showed that D517 coatings revealed dendrite structure with some randomly distributed carbides. The electric current exerted a great influence on the microstructure, hardness, friction coefficient, and soil wear rate. The wear rate of samples deposited with 80 A and 90 A reduced to 79% and 84%, respectively, as compared with the normalized heat-treated 65 Mn steel after 6 h in soil. This work provides a promising solution to increase the wear resistance of furrow openers. It needs to be noted that the coating would increase the soil adhesion of the opener, which needs to be further explored to decrease the energy consumption.
