The paper describes the results of metallographic, tribological, and microscopic tests of wire connectors. It was shown that the structure and thickness of the tin layer on the copper element varies greatly. The paper describes the results of tribological investigations for electrical connectors in the initial state and covered with a layer of oxides formed as a result of corrosion. The results of tribological tests have shown a great influence of the oxide layer on friction and wear of tin coatings. The results of friction factor measurements were confirmed by microscopic observations. The tests confirmed that the oxide layer reduces plastic deformation of the tin coating and limits its tribological wear. Due to the brittleness and low adhesion of the oxide layer, friction-induced chipping was observed.

Generally, bias voltage exercises a great influence on micro-properties (morphology, preferred orientation, mechanical properties, and so on) of the coatings in the process of coating deposited. In order to more systematically explore the influence of bias voltage on microstructure, hardness and adhesion of TiN coatings, TiN coatings were deposited successfully on the surface of 316 stainless steel by high power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HPPMS). A field emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (FESEM/EDS) and an X-ray diffractometer were employed to analyze the surface morphology, chemical composition and phase structure of coatings, respectively. And a nanoindentation and scratch tester was used to investigate the hardness, elastic modulus and adhesion of TiN coatings. Results showed that bias voltage has a great influence on surface morphology of TiN coatings. Moreover, bias voltage can promote preferential orientation and the phase in TiN coating is mainly TiN with a small amount of Ti2N. The influence of bias voltage on the hardness and modulus of TiN coating is not obvious, however, the binding force increases fast first and then decreases slow with the increase of bias voltage. TiN coating has excellent performance when bias voltage is-100V.

TiN coatings were prepared under different deposition time by magnetron sputtering technology. The effects of deposition time on microstructure and properties of TiN coatings were investigated by SEM, EDS, XRD, micro-hardness tester and scratch instrument, respectively. Results showed that coating thickness was gradually increasing with the prolonging of deposition time; The phases were mostly cub-TiN and a small amount of metal hex-Ti and tetr-Ti2N in TiN coatings; Deposition time has a great influence on surface morphology of TiN coatings; The hardness and adhesion of TiN coating both increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of deposition time. In this paper, TiN coating, whose thickness was 4 mm when deposition time was 5 hour, had excellent comprehensive performance, i.e., TiN coating was dense and smooth and its composite hardness was 34.46 GPa and its adhesive force was 16.00 N.

The effect of high-temperature thermomechanical treatment on the structural transformations and mechanical properties of metastable austenitic steel of the AISI 321 type is investigated. The features of the grain and defect microstructure of steel were studied by scanning electron microscopy with electron back-scatter diffraction (SEM EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is shown that in the initial state after solution treatment the average grain size is 18 μm. A high (≈50%) fraction of twin boundaries (annealing twins) was found. In the course of hot (with heating up to 1100 °C) plastic deformation by rolling to moderate strain (e = 1.6, where e is true strain) the grain structure undergoes fragmentation, which gives rise to grain refining (the average grain size is 8 μm). Partial recovery and recrystallization also occur. The fraction of low-angle misorientation boundaries increases up to ≈46%, and that of twin boundaries decreases to ≈25%, compared to the initial state. The yield strength after this treatment reaches up to 477 MPa with elongation-to-failure of 26%. The combination of plastic deformation with heating up to 1100 °C (e = 0.8) and subsequent deformation with heating up to 600 °C (e = 0.7) reduces the average grain size to 1.4 μm and forms submicrocrystalline fragments. The fraction of low-angle misorientation boundaries is ≈60%, and that of twin boundaries is ≈3%. The structural states formed after this treatment provide an increase in the strength properties of steel (yield strength reaches up to 677 MPa) with ductility values of 12%. The mechanisms of plastic deformation and strengthening of metastable austenitic steel under the above high-temperature thermomechanical treatments are discussed.

AbstractTwo model aluminium-magnesium alloys, containing 3 and 7.5 wt.% of Mg, were subjected to plastic deformation by means of hydrostatic extrusion (HE). Two degrees of deformation were imposed by two subsequent reductions of the diameter. Microstructural analysis and tensile tests of the materials in the initial state and after deformation were performed. For both materials, HE extrusion resulted in the deformation of the microstructure—formation of the un-equilibrium grain boundaries and partition of the grains. What is more, HE resulted in a significant increase of tensile strength and decrease of the elongation, mostly after the first degree of deformation.

Wear Analysis

Deep rolling is an established mechanical surface treatment technology based on local plastic deformation of the surface layer. By these means, residual stresses, and strain hardening are induced into the surface layer as well as its surface structure is smoothed. Vibrorolling is a derivate technology of deep rolling characterized by sinusoidal rolling lanes. Due to process kinematics of vibrorolling the surface layer is incrementally deformed multiple times in different directions. As a result, a more intensive plastic deformation of the surface layer is achieved and potentially tribologically active surface structures are produced. To investigate and compare the effects of both surface treatment technologies on the tribological behavior of a processed component, a friction and wear analysis under lubricated conditions was conducted in this work. Friction and wear behavior of untreated, deep rolled, and vibrorolled specimens using a pin-on-cylinder tribometer was conducted. Hardness, roughness, and geometrical measurements of the wear traces were used to characterize the specimens. Additionally, qualitative assessments of the wear traces using scanning electron microscopy imaging were made. The measurements were performed before, during, and after the friction and wear analysis. Furthermore, contact forces between a tribometer pin and the workpiece were determined to analyze the development of contact shear stresses. Based on the conducted investigations, the effects of deep rolling and vibrorolling on the friction and wear behavior of the treated specimens are discussed and explanations for the observed phenomena are formulated in this work.

Localized corrosion constitutes a major concern in medical devices made of stainless steel. The conventional approach to circumvent such a problem is to convert the surface polycrystalline microstructure of the native oxide layer to an amorphous oxide layer, a few micrometers thick. This process cannot, however, be used for devices such as stents that undergo plastic deformation during their implantation, especially those used in vascular surgery for the treatment of cardiac, neurological, and peripheral vessels. This work explores the feasibility of producing a nano-thick plastic-deformation resistant amorphous oxide layer by plasma-based surface modifications. By varying the plasma process parameters, oxide layers with different features were produced and their properties were investigated before and after clinically-relevant plastic deformation. These properties and the related corrosion mechanisms were mainly evaluated using the electrochemical methods of open-circuit potential, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results showed that, under optimal conditions, the resistance to corrosion and to the permeation of ions in a phosphate buffered saline, even after deformation, was significantly enhanced.

The texture of Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy processed by two different methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, and analyzed in terms of the orientation distribution function (ODF). It was found that severe plastic deformation by both Equal Channel Angular extrusion (ECAE) and Hydrostatic Extrusion (HE) resulted in an ultrafine grained structure in an Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy. The microstructure, grain shape and size, of materials produced by SPD strongly depend on the technological parameters and methods applied. The texture of the investigated alloy differed because of the different modes of deformation. In the initial state the alloy exhibited a very strong texture consisting of {111} fibre component. A similar fibrous texture characteristic was also found after HE whereas after the ECAE the initial texture was completely changed.

AbstractThe tensile force required to break bonds between ice grains after short contact times (1–500 s) is measured as a function of temperature and contact pressure. The results indicate a sharp increase of the tensile load capacity of bonds alter short contact times near the melting point and a maximum rate of increase of the load capacity at −5 °C. The initial state or sintering is modelled, assuming viscous surface flow and plastic deformation as the main mechanisms.

The technology of structure refinement in materials with the aim of achieving substantial mechanical properties and maintaining the required plasticity level is becoming increasingly useful in industrial practice. Magnesium alloys are very progressive materials for utilization in practice thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratios (tensile strength/density). The presented paper analyses the effect of the input heat treatment of the AZ31 alloy on the change of structure and strength properties through the process of severe plastic deformation (SPD), which finds an increasing utilization, especially in the automotive and aviation industry. For the study of the influence of the SPD process (ECAP method) on the properties of the AZ31 alloy, two types of thermal treatment of the initial state of the structure were selected. The analysis of the structure of the AZ31 alloy was performed in the initial state without heat treatment and subsequently after heat treatment. In the next part, the influence of the number of passes on the strengthening curves was evaluated. Mechanical properties of the AZ31 alloy after ECAP were evaluated by hardness measurement and completed by structure analysis.
