Effect of temperature on friction and wear of prehardened tool steel during sliding against 22MnB5 steel

Abstract

Mechanical components in tribological systems exposed to elevated temperatures are gaining increased attention since more and more systems are designed to operate under extreme conditions. In hot metal forming, the effect of temperature on friction and wear is especially important since it is directly related to process economy (tool wear) and quality of the produced parts (friction between tool and workpiece). This study is therefore focused on fundamental understanding pertaining to the tribological characteristics of prehardened hot work tool steel during sliding against 22MnB5 boron steel. The tribological tests were carried out using a high temperature reciprocating sliding friction and wear tester under a normal load of 31 N (corresponding to a contact pressure of 10 MPa), a sliding speed of 0·2 m s^?1 and temperatures ranging from 40°C to 800°C. It was found that friction coefficient and specific wear rate decreased at elevated temperature because of formation of compacted wear debris layers on the surfaces.

The Effect of Different Temperatures on Friction and Wear Properties of CFRPEEK against AISI 431 Steel under Water Lubrication

The tribological behavior of 30 vol% carbon fiber–reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFRPEEK) against AISI 431 steel under different temperatures of water lubrication was investigated. Friction and wear tests were carried out on a disc-on-disc contact test apparatus under different operating conditions. The results reveal that the lubricant temperature has a significant effect on the friction and wear properties of CFRPEEK sliding against AISI 431 steel. The average friction coefficient and wear rate of CFRPEEK increase with increasing lubricant temperature. However, the wear rate of AISI 431 steel did not have a positive correlation with the wear rate of CFRPEEK under different temperatures of water lubrication. Moreover, the original and worn surfaces of CFRPEEK and AISI 431 steel were imaged by environmental scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy, respectively. The main tribological mechanisms of CFRPEEK sliding against AISI 431 steel were adhesive wear, and increasing the temperature of the lubricant could accelerate wear.     

Effect of Blowing Air and Floating Sand-dust Particles on the Friction and Wear Behavior of PTFE, UHMWPE and PI

The friction and wear behaviors of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), and polyimide (PI) have been comparatively evaluated under dry sliding, blowing air, and simulated sand-dust conditions. The tribological tests were conducted on an improved block-on-ring test rig equipped with an attachment for simulating the sand-dust environment. The reason for the difference in the tribological behavior of these polymers under the three test conditions was also comparatively discussed, based on scanning electron microscopic examination of the worn polymer specimens and counterfaces. Under blowing air conditions, the decrease of the contact temperature produced by blowing air led to the increase in the shearing strength of the sliding surface when compared with dry sliding conditions and hence to cause an increase in the friction coefficient and a remarkable decrease in the wear rate of PTFE and UHMWPE. On the contrary, blowing air produced a decrease in the friction coefficient of PI because of the formation of transfer film on the counterfaces, and an increase in the wear rate, because the blowing air considerably promoted the transfer of PI onto the counterfaces when compared with dry sliding conditions. Both PTFE and UHMWPE registered the lowest wear rate under sand-dust conditions, owing to the tribolayer formation on the worn surfaces, while PI exhibited the highest wear rate because no tribolayer was formed during the abrasive wear process.     

青铜-石墨热喷涂层在干摩擦和水润滑条件下的摩擦磨损性能

在MM-200摩擦磨损试验机上研究了青铜-石墨热喷涂层在干摩擦和水润滑条件下的摩擦磨损性能,采用扫描电镜(SEM)对磨损表面形貌进行了观测和采用X射线能谱分析(XPS)分析了涂层成分。结果表明,在水润滑条件下涂层摩擦因数和磨损率均低于干摩擦条件下;在水润滑条件下磨损机制为轻微磨粒磨损和犁削磨损,在干摩擦下主要是较为严重的粘着磨损和犁削。这是由于水润滑降低了摩擦副界面温度,提高了石墨润滑膜的韧性,改善了润滑效果,从而阻止了粘着磨损的发生,水还促进了钢偶件表面致密氧化膜的形成,从而减轻磨损。因此水润滑对涂层磨损性能有较大影响。

Friction and wear behaviour of sintered steels submitted to sliding and abrasion tests

Fe–C–Mo and Fe–C–Cr steels were sintered by PM processes carried out using different values of temperature and pressure, leading to different microstructures and density values. Flat specimens were submitted to tribological tests in order to evaluate their behaviour under both dry sliding and abrasive wear conditions. A flat-on-cylinder tribometer was used for the sliding tests, while a micro-scale ball cratering device was used for the abrasion tests. The dry sliding wear resistance of the PM steels was mainly influenced by the composition and sintering conditions. In this regard, the best behavior was observed for the more hardenable Fe–C–Mo steels with higher Mo content, sintered under conditions giving rise to bainitic microstructures. A determining role was also played by the porosity content and pore shape: reduction in porosity (obtained by increasing the sintering temperature and the compacting pressure), as well as an increase in pore roundness, led to a significant improvement in the resistance to sliding wear. A mild oxidative wear regime were observed for all the sintered steels under relatively low values of the applied load, while an increase of the applied load led to a delamination wear regime. The resistance to abrasive wear was low for all the tested steels, irrespective of composition and sintering cycle.     

A comparative investigation of the wear behavior of PTFE and PI under dry sliding and simulated sand-dust conditions

The wear behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyimide (PI) has been comparatively evaluated under dry sliding and simulated sand-dust conditions. An improved block-on-ring wear tester equipped with an attachment for simulating the sand-dust environment was used to evaluate the abrasive wear behavior of materials. The sand collected from the Yellow River of China was used to simulate the sand-dust environment, also different loads and sand-dust sizes were chosen for tribological tests. The two chosen polymers showed different wear behavior under sand-dust conditions and the wear rates of PTFE were much lower under sand-dust conditions than under dry sliding conditions. This was attributed to the formation of the tribolayer on the worn surfaces during the abrasive wear process. The sand-dust enhanced the wear resistance of PTFE, but reduced that of PI because, in contrast to PTFE, there was no tribolayer formed on the PI worn surface. The wear rate of PTFE increased under sand-dust conditions while the wear rate of PI decreased with the increase of applied load. The higher hardness of PI and fragmentation of abrasive particles under high loads accounted for the decrease in wear rate as load increased.     

Tribological Behaviors of Molybdic Acid–Modified Phenolic/Polyfluo Wax Composite Coating

Phenolic resin (PF) and molybdic acid–modified phenolic (Mo-PF) have been synthesized and developed and combined with polyfluo wax (PFW) to fabricate PF-PFW and Mo-PF-PFW composite coatings. The effects of applied load and sliding speed on the tribological properties of the phenolic composite coating were evaluated using a block-on-ring wear tester. Compared to the PF composite coating, the Mo-PF displayed a lower friction coefficient and a higher wear life under all tested conditions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) investigation showed that the Mo-PF composite coating had a smooth worn surface after the friction test, and a continuous and uniform transfer film was formed on the surface of the counterpart ring. The improved tribological properties of Mo-PF composite coating resulted from its enhanced thermal properties.

The effect of silicon content and morphology on the wear of aluminium-silicon alloys under dry and lubricated sliding conditions

Improvement in the efficiency of the internal combustion engine has resulted in the increased usage of aluminium alloys and, in particular, aluminium-silicon as a substitute for cast iron. Despite the wide use of such materials in tribological environments little knowledge is available on the wear resistance of aluminium-silicon alloys. This paper investigates the wear performance of a range of binary aluminium-silicon alloys produced by a novel melt-spray technique. In addition, samples of the 11wt% silicon alloy were produced by conventional casting methods to elucidate the influence of silicon morphology on wear resistance. Pin-on-ring wear tests were carried out under dry and boundary-lubricated conditions. Surface analysis showed a similar wear mechanism under both conditions, these being: (1) oxidative and (2) metallic wear. Under boundary-lubricated conditions the load at which the transition to metallic wear occurred was increased. Raising the silicon content of the alloy was reflected in an increase in both wear resistance and transition load. Under dry sliding conditions the wear rate of the 11wt% alloy increased with a reduction in the silicon particle size, whereas under boundary-lubricated conditions the reverse was observed and the sand-cast alloy exhibited superior performance.

Sliding wear behavior of copper alloy contact wire against copper-based strip for high-speed electrified railways

This paper reports the study of the sliding wear behavior of the Cu–Ag–Cr wire. Cu–Ag–Cr alloy is a promising contact wire material for high-speed electrified railways, which has an excellent combination of mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. Wear tests were conducted under laboratory with a special sliding wear apparatus, which simulated the tribological conditions of sliding current collectors on overhead wires in the railway system. The Cu–Ag–Cr alloy wire was slid against a copper-based powder metallurgy strip under unlubricated conditions. The same strip as those in the train systems were used. Worn surfaces of the Cu–Ag–Cr alloy wire were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS). Within the studied range of electrical current, normal pressure and sliding speed, the wear rate increased with the increasing electrical current and the sliding distance. Compared with a Cu–Ag contact wire under the same conditions, the Cu–Ag–Cr alloy wire had much better wear resistance. Adhesive wear, abrasive wear and arc erosion were the dominant mechanisms during the electrical sliding processes.

Oxidative wear of heat-treated steels

In the present work, the oxidative sliding wear of a heat-treated steel at low-sliding velocities (less than 1 m/s) has been investigated. It has been shown that this type of wear can be described by a mechanism that considers the formation and agglomeration of oxide debris during sliding. The results have been modeled using available equations for two different types of oxidative wear and it has been shown that the model proposed by Sullivan and Hodgson can be used to predict the sliding wear rate of heat-treated steels in the low-sliding velocity wear regime. In this context, the important role of the surface bulk temperature is highlighted. In view of the above consideration, it is also pointed out that wear maps, developed from laboratory test results, have to be critically used for the design of tribological systems.     

Friction and wear behavior of hybrid glass/PTFE fabric composite reinforced with surface modified nanometer ZnO

Nano-ZnO was successfully grafted with 2,4-toluenediisocyanate (TDI) and β-aminoethyltrimethoxylsilane (OB551) to avoid the agglomeration of nano-ZnO in composite. The hybrid glass/PTFE fabric composites reinforced with the untreated, OB551 and TDI modified nano-ZnO, respectively, were prepared by dip-coating of the hybrid fabric in a phenolic adhesive resin containing the nanoparticles to be incorporated and the successive curing. The friction and wear behaviors of various nano-ZnO reinforced hybrid glass/PTFE fabric composites sliding against AISI-1045 steel in a pin-on-disk configuration were evaluated on a Xuanwu-III high-temperature friction and wear tester, with the unfilled one as a reference. The morphologies of the worn surfaces of the composites and of the counterpart pins were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. In addition, FTIR spectrum was taken to characterize the untreated and treated nano-ZnO. It is found that the untreated and treated nano-ZnO reinforced hybrid glass/PTFE fabric composites exhibit improved wear resistance and friction-reduction in comparison with the unfilled one. The TDI modified nano-ZnO reinforced composite can obtain the best friction and wear performance under different applied load; followed by the OB551 modified nano-ZnO reinforced one. Sliding conditions, such as environmental temperature and lubricating condition, significantly affect the tribo-performances of the unfilled and filled hybrid glass/PTFE fabric composites.     

Effect of plasma treatment of Kevlar fabric on the tribological behavior of Kevlar fabric/phenolic composites

Pure and plasma-treated Kevlar fabrics were used to prepare Kevlar fabric/phenolic composites by consecutive dipping of the fabric in phenolic adhesive resin. The friction and wear performance of the resulting composites has been evaluated in a pin-on-disk wear tester at various dry-sliding conditions. The surface changes occurring on Kevlar fibers treated with air-plasma were analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Moreover, the impact of air-plasma treatment time and power on the friction and wear behavior of Kevlar fabric/phenolic composites composed of the air-plasma-treated Kevlar fabrics was systematically studied. It was found that plasma treatment can significantly improve the tribological performance of the prepared Kevlar fabric/phenolic composites; the best performance was after a plasma treatment at 50 W for 15 min. The plasma treatment generates oxygenic and nitrogenous groups on the surface of the fabric, coupled with an increase of the surface roughness, strengthening the bond between the Kevlar fabric and phenolic adhesive resin and hence improving the tribological properties of the Kevlar fabric/phenolic composites.
