Iron-based specimens with boronized layers were prepared by boriding at 800 ℃, 900 ℃ and 1000 ℃ for 3, 5, and 7 hours, respectively. The thickness, microstructure, surface roughness, friction, and wear performance were studied. Results showed that the process parameters such as temperature, the time of boriding have remarkable impact on the thickness of the boronized layer. Dual-phase was generated at 1000 ℃ which lead to increased brittleness, lower surface hardness, and decreased adhesion to the substrate. Compared with specimens boronized at 1000 ℃ and 800 ℃, the surface structure of the boronized layer of specimens boronized at 900 ℃ is denser and uniform, the wear track is not damaged. The average friction coefficient and mass loss by wear of specimens boronized at 900 °C are smaller than that of boronized at 1000 ℃ and 800 ℃, indicating that specimens borided at 900 ℃ behave excellent friction and wear performance.

The effects of boron and argon ion implantation on the tribological characteristics of SUS440C stainless steel, sliding against a SUS440C ball (unimplanted) were investigated at room temperature using a friction test apparatus employing a ball-plate geometry in the absence of a lubricant. Wear performance was estimated using a profilometer tracing of the specimen wear track. Boron implantation reduced both the friction and wear of SUS440C. The friction coefficient of SUS440C was reduced from 0.75 to 0.15. SEM observations of wear track topography suggest that the reduction of the friction coefficient can be attributed to reduced adhesion due to boron implantation. The friction coefficient of the boron implanted layer decreased with an increase in the total ion dose. Argon implantation was carried out to distinguish the effects of implantation from the influence of contamination. Argon implantation increased the friction coefficient from 0.8 to 1.0 in contrast with boron implantation.

In order to improve the friction and wear performance of textured port plate pair, effects of the micropit depth on the tribology performance is studied in the paper. The relation between the micropit depth and the port plate pair’s oil loading carrying capacity is analyzed in theory; with the friction coefficient, the wear volume and the surface roughness as the evaluation criteria, effects of the micropits’ depth on the tribology performance are investigated. The conclusions are shown as follows: oil loading capacity would come to its peak when the oil film thickness is equal to the micropit depth; the optimal micropit depth is unrelated to the area ratios and micropits’ diameters. With the same parameters, the effects of antifriction is optimal when the micropits’ depth is 10 μm, while antiwear and surface integrity are optimal when 15 μm. When the micropits’ depth is 5 μm, the antiwear, surface roughness, and antifriction are worse compared with those of the untextured port plate pair.

In this paper, with the combination of powder metallurgy and hot pressing method, the nano-graphite Al-Mg composite material was made. This method succeeds in solving the difficulty that graphite particle directly melted with Al-Mg melt, which investigates the amount of nano-graphite’s impact on the abrasion resistance of Al-Mg composite material. The result shows that nano-graphite particle easily to scattered in the matrix when the nano-graphite particle amounts to 1﹪ which can decrease the friction coefficient of composite material. But the material of wear extent increases accordingly along with the increase of the content of nano-graphite.

This paper presents a facile and effective method for preparing Ni/NbSe2 composites in order to improve the wettability of NbSe2 and copper matrix, which is helpful in enhancing the friction-reducing and anti-wear properties of copper-based composites. The powder metallurgy (P/M) technique was used to fabricate copper-based composites with different weight fractions of Ni/NbSe2, and tribological properties of composites were evaluated by using a ball-on-disk friction-and-wear tester. Results indicated that tribological properties of copper-based composites were improved by the addition of Ni/NbSe2. In particular, copper-based composites containing 15 wt.% Ni/NbSe2 showed the lowest friction coefficient (0.16) and wear rate (4.1 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1) among all composites.

Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) round block was implanted with 120 KeV ions of He to doses of 5 x 1016 and 1 x 1016 ions cm-2. It was also implanted with 120 KeV ions of Ar + He and He + Ne to dose of 1 x 1016 ions cm-2, respectively. The friction coefficient behavior of both implanted and unimplanted POM-C blocks was investigated using a ball on disk tribometer mechanism. The friction coefficient of He ion implanted POM-C block at a dose of 5 x 1016 ions cm-2 is lowest compared to all unimplanted and others ions doses implanted POM-C blocks. It also shows the moderate surface texturing (atomic rearrangement), lower surface micro-hardness and average surface roughness compared to both unimplanted and other ions doses implanted POM-C blocks due to well adjusted carbonization, cross-linking and ions-target atoms collisions, which is ascertained from SEM-EDS, Raman spectroscopic and surface profiling observations. The other ions doses implanted POM-C blocks demonstrate the higher friction coefficient and surface roughness with polymer surface deformation (crazing, cracking, pitting and gas evolution, bond breaking) due to severe chain scission, surface dose delivered atomic displacements and chemical structural degradation. It is concluded that the variation in friction coefficient behavior of POM-C block resulted from its structural response for ion beam implantation on the top surface.

In bolted joints, clamp force must be accurately controlled to secure their reliability. However, the clamp force varies widely in each tightening because friction coefficients at thread surfaces and bearing surfaces vary in each tightening due to lubricants, configuration error of bolts, surface roughness, and surface hardness, among other things. In this study, we investigated the robustness of polyisobutylene and ISO VG46 machine oil during the tightening process for several parameters of tightening conditions. We especially focused on variations of the friction coefficient between bearing surfaces at an appropriate target clamp force of M8 bolt/nut assemblies and change rates of the friction coefficients from the middle to the end of the appropriate target clamp force. Results showed that the friction coefficients at the target clamp force varied widely if ISO VG46 machine oil was used as a lubricant. In contrast, the variations of the friction coefficients in which polyisobutylene was used for tightening were small. Results also showed that the friction coefficients invariably decreased about 20% from the middle to the end of the target clamp force if ISO VG46 machine oil was used for the lubricant. However, if polyisobutylene was used, the friction coefficients were almost constant for all tightening instances.

The tribological performance of Polyetherimide (PEI) composites filled with different Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content was comparatively evaluated on MM-200 test rig in block-on-ring configuration under dry friction condition. The microstructures of worn surfaces, fractured surfaces and wear mechanisms of the PEI composite were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The variations of elastic modulus and surface hardness with variation in composition were also investigated. The results showed that under conditions of dry friction the PTFE can lower the friction coefficient and reduce wear of the PEI composites. When filled with 10 wt. % PTFE, the composite had the lowest wear rate. For PEI filled with 5wt. % PTFE the friction coefficient was about 0.3 and remained comparatively stable with increase of the PTFE content.

The grind-hardening technology utilizes the grinding heat to harden the surface of the workpiece. The friction and wear performance of the grind-hardened layer is one of the important parameters. In this paper, the friction and wear performance of the grind-hardened layer was studied by the friction and wear experiment. The wear rate and the friction coefficient of the grind-hardened steel were studied by comparing with conventional hardened steel and non-hardened steel. The surface worn morphology and the collected wear debris of the grind-hardened steel were observed during the experiment. The wear mechanism of the grind-hardened steel was analyzed under different friction conditions.

Plasma surface alloying (PSA) technique was employed with nickel as incident ions to prepare the TiNi/Ti2Ni alloyed layer on surface of Ti6Al4V. High-temperature friction and wear performance of TiNi/Ti2Ni alloyed layer and the Ti6Al4V substrate were evaluated at 500[Formula: see text]C. The results indicated that the TiNi/Ti2Ni alloyed layer exhibited superior high-temperature wear performance. The variations of friction coefficient were the same rule but wear rate was lower compared to Ti6Al4V substrate. The wear mechanism of TiNi/Ti2Ni alloyed layer was mainly slight abrasion and the Ti6Al4V substrate showed abrasion and oxidation wear. The friction coefficient of the TiNi/Ti2Ni alloyed layer decreased from 0.90 to 0.50 with the increase of temperature from room temperature to 500[Formula: see text]C.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate use of colemanite (C) upon friction and wear performance of automotive brake lining. Brake lining production with the boron product colemanite addition and braking characterization investigated for development of non-asbestos organic (NAO) brake lining because of negative effects on human health and environmental hazard of asbestos containing linings. During the braking, brake lining is warmed up extremely due to friction, and the high temperature causes to decreasing of breaking performance. Colemanite has high melting temperature, and this makes this material valuable for brake lining. Design/methodology/approach – This study investigated the effect of colemanite (C) upon friction and wear performance of automotive brake lining. Based on a simple experimental formulation, different amounts of boron product colemanite were used and then evaluated using a friction assessment and screening test. In these specimens, half of the samples (shown with H indices) were heat treated in 4 h at 180°C temperature. Friction coefficient, wear rate and scanning electron microscope for friction surfaces were used to assess the performance of these samples. Findings – The results of test showed that colemanite can substantially improve properties of friction materials. The friction coefficient of friction materials modified with colemanite varies steadily with the change of temperature, and the wearing rate of friction materials is relatively low by using colemanite. Heat treatment-applied samples (CH) have provided a higher and stable friction coefficient. These results indicate that colemanite has ideal application effect in various friction materials. Originality/value – This paper fulfils an identified information and offers practical help to the industrial firms working with brake lining and also to the academicians working on wear of materials. Parallel results have been presented between previously reported and present study, in view of brake characteristics and wear resistance. Use of the lower cost and productive organic sources of material are the main improvement of the present study.
