Tribological performance and corrosion behavior of CoCrMo alloy

The present work focuses on the Tribological properties and corrosion behavior evaluation of sintered CoCrMo alloy. The CoCrMo alloy was elaborated by Powder metallurgy process at various sintering temperatures (1200°C, 1250°C and 1300°C). The structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The tribological characteristics were measured using a dry disc-ball tribometer. The corrosion behavior of the samples was studied using different electrochemical tests in a simulated physiological environment (Hank’s solution). The obtained results show that higher sintering temperatures have a positive impact on the tribological behavior as well as the corrosion resistance of CoCrMo alloys. The sintered samples at 1300°C showed a better resistance to friction wear and a lower corrosion rate.

UDDEHOLM VANADIS 23 SUPERCLEAN

Uddeholm Vanadis 23 SuperClean is a chromium-molybdenum-tungsten-vanadium high speed tool steel that is produced by the powder metallurgy process. This steel is similar to Type M3, Class 2 high speed tool steel, and combines high compressive strength with good abrasive wear resistance. It is suitable for demanding cold work applications like blanking of harder materials like carbon steel or cold rolled strip steel and for cutting tools. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-820. Producer or source: Uddeholms AB (a voestalpine company).

Kekerasan Produk Metalurgi Serbuk Berbahan Limbah Aluminium dengan Metode Kompaksi Bertahap

The product resulting from the powder metallurgy process has advantages in terms of mechanical properties and physical properties. Material engineering by mixing several types of metal powders is very possible to do. The composition of this powder metallurgical process material is a mixture of aluminum powder (80%), copper powder (15%) and silicon carbide powder (5%) by weight then compacted with a compaction load gradually, starting with a load of 3 tons, holding for 3 minutes, followed by a load of 3 tons. 4 tons were held for 3 minutes and the last 5 tons were held for 3 minutes by pre sintering 1250C. Sintering in the kitchen with temperature variations of 4500C, 5000C and 5500C and sintering time for 60 minutes. Tests carried out on the specimens were hardness tests using the Rockwell (HRF) method. The results showed that the hardness of a single material has a hardness of around 35 HRF. The average hardness of the mixed material at a sintering temperature of 4500C is 80 HRF. The hardness of the mixed material at a sintering temperature of 5000C on average is 74 HRF. Meanwhile, the hardness of the mixed material at a sintering temperature of 5500C averaged 52 HRF. It can be concluded that the application of heat at the time of compaction and the selection of the sintering temperature greatly affect the hardness of the product resulting from the powder metallurgy process.

Effect of Thermo-Mechanical Treatment on the Microstructure and Tensile Properties of the Fe-22Cr-5Al-0.1Y Alloy

Oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steel is considered an important structural material in fusion reactors due to its excellent resistance to radiation and oxidation. Fine and dispersed oxides can be introduced into the matrix via the powder metallurgy process. In the present study, large grain sizes and prior particle boundaries (PPBs) formed in the FeCrAlY alloy prepared via powder metallurgy. Thermo-mechanical treatment was conducted on the FeCrAlY alloy. Results showed that microstructure was optimized: the average grain diameter decreased, the PPBs disappeared, and the distribution of oxides dispersed. Both ultimate tensile strength and elongation improved, especially the average elongation increased from 0.5% to 23%.

A Study on Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Aluminum 7075 MMCS Reinforced with Silicon Carbide and Coconut Husk by Powder Metallurgy Process

The metal matrix composite strengthened with ceramic material of silicon carbide has smart mechanical characteristics. Metal-based composites, however, demand progress in their friction and tribological characteristics. In this work-study an effort is made to design a completely new material through the method of metallurgy by adding Coconut husk. This study explored the effect of coconut husk on the tribological behavior of hybrid composite Al 7075/5 wt. % Sic/Xwt. %coconut husk(X=6,4 and0).The research confirms the performance of wear properties by incorporating coconut husk into the composite. The sic-coconut husk reinforced Al 7075 (aluminum alloy 7075) was studied. Metallurgy route was used to prepare the composites. Microstructures, the mixture of materials, wear and wear resistance properties were analyzed by optical micro cope and scanning electron microscope.
