石墨烯/MoS2复合涂层多环境下的摩擦学性能

以MoS2作为润滑剂,以石墨烯(GE)作为润滑添加剂,采用喷涂法在GCr15钢样片表面制备不同含量的GE/MoS2复合涂层。利用HSR-2M型高速往复式摩擦磨损试验机测试涂层在干摩擦及海水环境中的摩擦磨损性能,并分析了磨痕形貌及磨损机制。结果表明:添加适量石墨烯可明显改善MoS2涂层的摩擦磨损性能,且海水环境中涂层的摩擦因数、磨损率均低于干摩擦;在干摩擦和海水环境下,随着石墨烯含量的增加,GE/MoS2复合涂层的摩擦因数和磨损量均呈现先下降后上升的趋势,当石墨烯质量分数为0.8%时,摩擦磨损性能最优。干摩擦下MoS2涂层的磨损机制为疲劳磨损、黏着磨损和磨粒磨损,GE/MoS2复合涂层主要为磨粒磨损;而在海水环境下几种涂层均仅出现磨粒磨损。     

Friction and Wear Behavior of WS2/Zr Self-lubricating Soft Coatings in Dry Sliding Against 40Cr-Hardened Steel Balls

WS₂ and WS₂/Zr self-lubricating soft coatings were produced by medium-frequency magnetron sputtering, multi-arc ion plating and ion-beam-assisted deposition technique on the cemented carbide YT15 (WC + 15 % TiC + 6 % Co) substrates. Microstructural and fundamental properties of these coatings were examined. Sliding wear tests against 40Cr-hardened steel using a ball-on-disk tribometer method were carried out with these coated materials. The friction coefficient and wear rates were measured with various applied loads and sliding speeds. The wear surface features of the coatings were examined using SEM. The results showed that the WS-1 specimen (with WS₂/Zr composite coating) has higher hardness and coating/substrate critical load compared with that of the WS-2 specimen (only with WS₂ coating). The friction coefficient of WS-1 specimen increases with the increase in applied load and is quite insensitive to the sliding speed. The wear rate of the WS-1 specimen is almost constant under different applied loads and sliding speeds. The WS-1 specimen shows the smallest friction coefficient and wear rate among all the specimens tested under the same conditions. The WS-1 specimen exhibits improved friction behavior to that of the WS-2 specimen, and the antiwear lifetime of the WS₂ coatings can be prolonged through adding Zr additives. The self-lubricating and wear mechanism of the WS₂/Zr coating was also found from the sliding wear tests.     

Dry friction and wear characteristics of nickel/carbon nanotube electroless composite deposits

Ni/carbon nanotube (Ni/CNTs) composite coatings were deposited on carbon steel plate by electroless deposition. The friction and wear properties were examined under dry sliding conditions using the ball-on-disk configuration. For reference, carbon steel plate was coated with Ni, Ni/SiC and Ni/graphite. The results show that the Ni/CNT coating has a microhardness value of 865 Hv, greater than for SiC reinforced composite deposits. The Ni/CNTs composite coating possesses not only a higher wear resistance but also a lower friction coefficient, resulting from their improved mechanical characteristics and the unique topological structure of the hollow nanotubes.     

On dry sliding friction and wear behaviour of PEEK and PEEK/SiC-composite coatings

In this work, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and PEEK/SiC-composite coatings were deposited on Al substrates using a printing technique to improve their surfaces performance. The objective of this work was to investigate coatings friction and wear behaviour. Especially, the effect of sliding velocity and applied load on coatings friction coefficient and wear rate was evaluated in range of 0.2-1.4 m/s and 1-9 N, respectively. Compared to Al substrate, the coated samples exhibit excellent friction coefficient and wear rate. For PEEK coating, under an applied load of 1 N, the increase in sliding velocity can result in decreasing of friction coefficient at a cost of wear resistance. Under a load of 9 N, however, PEEK coating exhibits the highest friction coefficient and wear rate at an intermediate velocity. These influences appear to be mainly ascribed to the influence of contact temperature of the two relative sliding parts. In most test conditions, the composite coating exhibits better wear resistance and a little higher friction coefficient. SiC reinforcement in composite coating plays a combined role. First of all, it might lead to energy dissipation for activation of fracture occurred on the interface of PEEK and the powders. Moreover, it can reduce coating ploughs and the adhesion between the two relative sliding parts.     

Mo/MoS2-Pb-PbS复合薄膜的真空摩擦学行为研究

多组元复合是提高润滑薄膜苛刻工况下服役性能的有效方法。采用“射频磁控溅射+低温离子渗硫”复合工艺,在9Cr18轴承钢表面制备了Mo/MoS2-Pb-PbS复合固体润滑薄膜;利用自主研制的MSTS-1型多功能真空摩擦磨损试验机研究了8×10-5 Pa真空条件下法向载荷和滑动速率对Mo/MoS2-Pb-PbS复合薄膜摩擦学性能的影响。结果表明,在所设定的5种滑动速率下,Mo/MoS2-Pb-PbS薄膜的摩擦因数随滑动速率的增大而缓慢减小,磨损率经一定周次的跑合后逐渐趋于稳定;在不同的法向载荷下,随着载荷的增大,薄膜的摩擦因数呈近似抛物线增大,变化范围在0.03～0.24之间;薄膜表面的磨痕宽度同样随着载荷的增大而增大。     

Role of the Transfer Film on the Friction and Wear of Metal Carbide Reinforced Amorphous Carbon Coatings During Run-in

The relationship between friction, wear, and transfer films of three metal carbide-reinforced amorphous carbon coatings (TiC/a:C, TiC/a:C–H, and WC/a:C–H), sometimes referred to as metal-doped diamond-like carbon coatings, has been investigated. Tribological tests were performed in an in situ tribometer with sapphire or steel hemispheres run against coated flats in dry or ambient air. The sliding contact interface was observed and recorded by optical microscopy during reciprocating sliding tests. The friction and wear behavior during run-in depended on the number of sliding cycles to form a stationary transfer film on the hemisphere. Stationary transfer films formed rapidly (within ten cycles) and the friction coefficient fell to 0.2 (ambient air) or 0.1 (dry air), except with sapphire against WC/a:C–H in dry air; with the latter, a stationary transfer film required nearly 100 cycles to form, during which the friction remained high and the wear rate was from 10 to 100 times higher than the other two coatings. For all coatings, three velocity accommodation modes (VAM) were observed from run-in to steady-state sliding and were correlated with the friction and wear behavior. The delayed adherence of the transfer film to sapphire from WC/a:C–H coatings in dry air is discussed in terms of equilibrium thermochemistry. Friction and wear behavior during run-in, therefore, depended on transfer film adherence to the hemisphere and the VAM between transfer films and the coating.     

Sliding wear of TiC–NiMo cermets

The friction and wear properties of TiC–NiMo/steel rubbing pairs were investigated under dry condition. The sliding wear tests were carried out on the testing device at a velocity of 2.2 m/s and a load of 40 N. The volume wear increases with increase of the sliding distance as predicted by Archard’s equation. The wear coefficient of the cermets reduces with the increase of TiC and Mo content in the composite. The study has shown that the coefficient of friction was approximately the same for all the samples. The main wear mechanism in the TiC–NiMo cermets was micro-abrasion (polishing) and adhesive wear. At the initial stages of wear, adhesive wear characteristics featured by mild scratching and plastic smearing were observed on the worn surface, but at the later stages, contact fatigue failure of a relatively thick surface layer takes place.     

Abrasive wear behavior of high speed steel and hard metal coated with TiAlN and TiCN

The wear behavior of M2 high speed HSS steel and WC hard metal coated with TiAlN and TiCN were investigated and compared, using the pin on disk standard test with different loads. The coating PVD process has been done by two different suppliers, using an industrial equipment unit with optimized conditions. The coated layers were measured and characterized. The load, sliding distance and velocity of 0.5 m/s were kept constant during the abrasion test in order to control these variables. The counterface disks used were electric steel sheets from three different suppliers. The lost volume and temperature at the pin end have been measured during the wear test. Comparisons of tribological performance for the coated HSS and hard metal were done, using a plot of lost volume versus sliding distance for substrates and coatings. The pin worn surfaces were observed using a scanning electron microscope. A significant increase in the wear resistance of M2 steel and WC hard metal when coated with TiAlN and TiCN was observed. Quality of these coatings depended upon the supplier. Excessive porosity has diminished the TiAlN counting wear resistance from one supplier. However, in general the performance of TiAlN is superior to TiCN. The pin wear rate depended on the disk microstructure.     

Artificial neural network-based prediction technique for wear loss quantities in Mo coatings

Mo coated materials are used in automotive, aerospace, pulp and paper industries in order to protect machine parts against wear and corrosion. In this study, the wear amounts of Mo coatings deposited on ductile iron substrates using an atmospheric plasma-spray system were investigated for different loads and environment conditions. The Mo coatings were subjected to sliding wear against AISI 303 counter bodies under dry and acid environments. In a theoretical study, cross-sectional microhardness from the surface of the coatings, loads, environment and friction test durations were chosen as variable parameters in order to determine the amount of wear loss. The numerical results obtained via a neural network model were compared with the experimental results. Agreement between the experimental and numerical results is reasonably good.

研究了钢背衬碳纤维织物/环氧复合材料在环-环端面干摩擦状态下的摩擦学特性,考察了MoS2与石墨粉及其配比、衬层厚度、法向载荷对衬层干摩擦性能的影响,用扫描电子显微镜对衬层的磨损表面及对偶件45^#钢环表面进行了观察与分析。结果表明：厚度为1.5mm的试环衬层在摩擦过程中主要表现出粘结磨损特性,而含20%（质量分数）MoS2粉的0.6mm衬层表现出疲劳磨损与磨粒磨损特性。摩擦因数-时间特性曲线表明MoS2粉在降低衬层摩擦因数的同时能够抑制环氧树脂向对偶钢环表面的粘结;石墨对衬层的减摩效果优于MoS2粉,但摩擦温升引起树脂向偶件表面转移增多使得减摩效果大大降低;质量分数为33%的MoS2与石墨粉衬层表现出最佳的摩擦学性能,衬层摩擦因数具有随载荷先减小后上升的趋势。     

Tribological Performance of UHMWPE and PFPE Coated Films on Aluminium Surface

A thin layer of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) or UHMWPE + PFPE is coated onto cylindrical aluminium (Al) pin (4.6 mm diametre) surface with the aim of providing wear resistant coating on this soft and tribologically poor metal. The coefficient of friction and wear life of the coated samples are investigated on a pin-on-disk tribometre under different normal loads (394–622 g) and two sliding speeds (0.1 and 0.31 m/s) against uncoated Al disk as the counterface. Both coatings provide coefficient of friction values in the range of 0.02–0.2 as compared to 0.4–1.0 for uncoated Al. There is tremendous improvement in the wear life of the pin, with UHMWPE + PFPE film giving wear life approximately twice to thrice higher than that with only UHMWPE film. A thin polymer film is transferred to the disk surface during sliding providing very long-term wear life (continuous low coefficient of friction) despite visual removal of the film from the pin surface. The present films will have applications in gears and bearings as solid or boundary lubricants for automotive and aerospace component.     

Tribological characterization of thin hard coatings by reciprocating sliding tests

Thin hard coatings on metal or ceramic surfaces offer a large spectrum of improvements of the friction and/or wear behaviour of tribosystems. The development of coatings and the tailoring of their properties require test methods providing information about their friction and wear behaviour. A new wear test standard (ASTM) is under development for the evaluation of friction and wear quantities for sliding motions using the reciprocating sliding mode. The applicability of this test method to coated specimens was checked by testing uncoated and coated steel specimens in contact with alumina balls, whereby lower loads were used than in the ASTM proposal for bulk materials. Additionally, the influence of the relative humidity of the surrounding air at room temperature on friction and wear results was examined.     

不同石墨烯添加量下MoS2基复合涂层的摩擦磨损及耐腐蚀性能

为改善MoS2基固体润滑涂层的摩擦磨损性能和耐蚀性能，制备了不同石墨烯（GE）添加量的MoS2复合涂层，利用HSR-2M摩擦磨损试验机测试了复合涂层的摩擦磨损性能，并分析了其磨损机理，通过极化曲线、交流阻抗谱（EIS）研究了涂层在3.5%NaCl溶液中的电化学腐蚀行为。试验结果表明，0.8-GE/MoS2复合涂层的摩擦磨损和耐腐蚀性能最优，其平均摩擦因数和磨损率分别为0.232和2.379×10-13 m3/(N·m)，较未添加石墨烯的MoS2涂层分别降低了49.56%和43%，腐蚀速率（1.96×10-8 A/cm2）较纯MoS2涂层（5.54×10-6 A/cm2）降低了近2个数量级。石墨烯的二维片状结构具有良好的自润滑性能，在涂层中均匀分布时能有效阻隔腐蚀介质的渗透，因此，石墨烯的添加提高了MoS2基复合涂层的摩擦学性能和耐腐蚀性能，石墨烯的最优添加量为0.8%（质量分数）。     

Sliding wear behavior of Fe-Al and Fe-Al/WC coatings prepared by high velocity arc spraying

A comparative study was carried out to investigate the microstructure and tribological behavior of Fe-Al and Fe-Al/WC iron aluminide based coatings against Si₃N₄ under dry sliding at room temperature using a pin-on-disc tribotester. The coatings were prepared by high velocity arc spraying (HVAS) and cored wires. The effect of normal load on friction coefficient and wear rate of the coatings was studied. The microstructure and the worn surfaces of the coatings were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectroscope (EDS). The results showed that, the main phases in both coatings were iron aluminide (Fe₃Al and FeAl) and α. WC/W₂C particles were embedded in the matrix of the composite coating. With adding WC hard particles, the Fe-Al/WC composite coating exhibited higher wear-resistance than Fe-Al coating. But the friction coefficient of both coatings showed little difference. As the load increased, the friction coefficient decreases slightly due to a rise of friction contact temperature and larger areas of oxide film formation on the worn surface, which act as a solid lubricant. Increasing load causes the maximum shear stress occurring at the deeper position below the surface, thereby aggravating the wear. The coating surface is subjected to alternately tensile stress and compression stress during sliding, and the predominant wear mechanism of the coatings appears to be delamination.     

Tribological studies of epoxy and its composite coatings on steel in dry and lubricated sliding

Industrial lubricants are invariably used with additives (with high sulfur and phosphorous contents) for tribological performance enhancement. However, these additives are environmentally very harmful. Hence, there is an urgent need to find alternate solutions for enhancing the tribological performance of lubricants and components without the use of harmful additives. The objective of this work is to investigate the feasibility of using polymer composite coatings in enhancing the tribological properties of steel surfaces in dry and base oil lubricated conditions. Pure epoxy and its composite (with 10?wt-% of graphene or graphite powder) films were coated onto steel substrates and tested under dry and base oil lubricated conditions. Friction and wear experiments were conducted on a ball on cylinder tribometer between polymer/composite coated cylindrical steel surface (shaft) and an uncoated steel ball as the counterface. Tests were conducted at various normal loads and speeds. In dry condition at 3 N load and 0.63?m s^??1 sliding speed, the wear life of epoxy was increased by five times and coefficient of friction was nearly the same (0.18) on inclusion of graphene nanoparticle. In lubricated case, epoxy/graphene composite coating performed eight times and more than five times better than pure epoxy and epoxy/graphite respectively.     

Friction and wear behavior of Ni-P coated Si3N4 reinforced Al6061 composites

Al6061 matrix composite reinforced with nickel coated silicon nitride particles were manufactured by liquid metallurgy route. Microstructure and tribological properties of both matrix alloy and developed composites have been evaluated. Dry sliding friction and wear tests were carried out using pin on disk type machine over a load range of 20-100 N and sliding velocities of range 0.31-1.57 m/s. Results revealed that, nickel coated silicon nitride particles are uniformly distributed through out the matrix alloy. Al6061-Ni-P-Si₃N₄ composite exhibited lower coefficient of friction and wear rate compared to matrix alloy. The coefficient of friction of both matrix alloy and developed composite decreased with increase in load up to 80 N. Beyond this, with further increase in the load, the coefficient of friction increased slightly. However, with increase in sliding velocity coefficient of friction of both matrix alloy and developed composite increases continuously. Wear rates of both matrix alloy and developed composites increased with increase in both load and sliding velocity. Worn surfaces and wear debris was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for possible wear mechanisms. Energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) techniques were used to identify the oxides formed on the worn surfaces and wear debris.

Influence of low friction coatings on the scuffing load capacity and efficiency of gears

The influence of multilayer composite surface coatings on gear scuffing load carrying capacity, gear friction coefficient and gearbox efficiency is discussed in this work.The deposition procedures of molybdenum disulphide/titanium (MoS₂/Ti) and carbon/chromium (C/Cr) composite coatings are described.Tests reported in the literature, such as Rockwell indentations, ball cratering, pin-on-disc and reciprocating wear, confirm the excellent adhesion to the substrate and the tribological performance of these coatings, suggesting they can be applied with success in heavy loaded rolling–sliding contacts, such as those found in gears.FZG gear scuffing tests were performed in order to evaluate the coatings anti-scuffing performance, which both improved very significantly in comparison to uncoated gears. These results in conjunction with the friction power intensity (FPI) scuffing criterion allowed the determination of a friction coefficient factor X_SC to include the coating influence on the friction coefficient expression.The composite coatings were also applied to the gears of a transfer gearbox and its efficiency was measured and compared at different input speeds and torques with the uncoated carburized steel gears. Significant efficiency improvement was found with the MoS₂/Ti coating.
