Alloying behavior and novel properties of CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy fabricated by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering

An equiatomic CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). During MA, a solid solution with refined microstructure of 10 nm which consists of a FCC phase and a BCC phase was formed. After SPS consolidation, only one FCC phase can be detected in the HEA bulks. The as-sintered bulks exhibit high compressive strength of 1987 MPa. An interesting magnetic transition associated with the structure coarsening and phase transformation was observed during SPS process.     

YSZ/MoS2 self-lubricating coating fabricated by thermal spraying and hydrothermal reaction

Thermal sprayed ceramic coatings have extensively been used in components to protect them against friction and wear. However, the poor lubricating ability severely limits their application. Herein, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)/MoS₂ composite coatings were successfully fabricated on steel substrate with the combination of thermal spraying technology and hydrothermal reaction. Results show that the synthetic MoS₂ powders are composed of numbers of ultra-thin sheets (about 7 ~ 8?nm), and the sheet has obvious lamellar structure. After vacuum impregnation and hydrothermal reaction, numbers of MoS₂ powders, look like flowers, generate inside the plasma sprayed YSZ coating. Moreover, the growing point of the MoS₂ flower is the intrinsic micro-pores of YSZ coating. The friction and wear tests under high vacuum environment indicate that the composite coating has an extremely long lifetime (>?100,000 cycles) and possesses a low friction coefficient less than 0.1, which is lower by about 0.15 times than that of YSZ coating. Meanwhile, the composite shows an extremely low wear rate (2.30?×?10^?7 mm³ N^?1 m^?1) and causes slight wear damage to the counterpart. The excellent lubricant and wear-resistant ability are attributed to the formation of MoS₂ transfer films and the ultra-smooth of the worn surfaces of hybrid coatings.     

Effects of sodium tungstate on characteristics of microarc oxidation coatings formed on magnesium alloy in silicate-KOH electrolyte

Oxide coatings on AM60B magnesium alloy were prepared using the microarc oxidation（MAO） technique in silicate-KOH electrolyte with addition of 0-6.0 g/L Na2WO4. The MAO processes in base electrolyte with different concentrations of Na2WO4 were studied. The microstructure, compositions and mechanical tribological characteristics of the oxide coatings were also investigated by SEM, XRD, XPS, microhardness analysis and ball-on-disc friction testing, respectively. It is found that the addition of Na2WO4 into the base electrolyte has direct effect on the characteristics of voltage-time curves and breakdown voltage in MAO process. The number of micropores at top of the coating surface is increased by the addition of Na2WO4. The fraction of forsterite Mg2SiO4 in the oxide coating increases with increasing concentration of Na2WO4 in base electrolytes. Furthermore, the microhardness and wear resistance of oxide coatings are enhanced as well.

利用差示扫描量热法（DSC）和傅里叶红外光谱法（FTIR）研究了4种马来酸酐接枝聚合物对聚酰胺66／热致性液晶聚合物（PA66／TLCP）共混物界面的增容作用，并对PA66／TLCP共混物进行了力学性能测试和扫描电子显微镜（SEM）的微观形貌研究。DSC结果表明，4种马来酸酐接枝聚合物对PA66／TLCP共混物的熔融温度、熔融焓、结晶温度、过冷度和结晶度均有不同程度的影响；FTIR证明共混物界面发生增容反应。4种马来酸酐接枝聚合物对PA66与TLCP的界面相容性均有不同程度的改善，使共混物的力学性能提高，且改变了分散相在基体中的分散形态。     

凝胶丁腈共聚弹性体增韧聚甲醛的加工流变行为及力学性能

研究了聚甲醛(POM)/凝胶丁腈共聚弹性体(GNBE)共混物的熔体流动指数(MFI)、高压毛细管流变行为和力学性能。结果表明,共混物MFI随GNBE用量的增加下降较大。聚酰胺(PA)对POM/GNBE共混体系的MFI影响较小,而热塑性酚醛树脂(PFR)的影响显著。当PFR的质量份为4时,POM共混物的MFI达最小值(0.053g/min),约为未加增容剂POM共混物MFI的1/6。随着剪切速率的提高,共混物剪切黏度迅速与POM接近。这种黏度变化行为说明共混物比GNBE对剪切速率更敏感,共混物的黏度受POM的影响较大。随着剪切速率的提高,POM与GNBE的黏度比迅速减小,并接近1,说明POM和GNBE在高剪切速率下共混时,GNBE的液滴能够在POM连续相中分散达到最小。含20份GNBE的POM共混物在高剪切速率下的熔体表观黏度与POM相当;在PFR质量份为6时,POM共混物的缺口冲击强度达到21.6kJ/m2,超过了GNBE质量份为40的POM共混物。当PFR质量份为4时,共混物的缺口冲击强度为对应的不加增容剂共混物的冲击强度的2倍多,扯断伸长率提高了55.4%。     

芳纶纤维增强丁腈橡胶的摩擦性能

研究了芳纶纤维增强丁腈橡胶(NBR)复合材料的物理机械性能和摩擦性能,并用扫描电子显微镜分析了芳纶纤维增强NBR复合材料的磨损表面和磨屑形貌。结果表明,芳纶的加入提高了NBR的拉伸强度;随着芳纶用量的增大,复合材料的扯断伸长率降低;芳纶的加入降低了NBR的摩擦系数和磨损率;当芳纶用量为20份时,复合材料的综合性能最佳。加入芳纶对NBR摩擦磨损形式的改变是NBR摩擦性能提高的重要原因。     

Tribological behavior of the polyamide composite coating filled with different fillers under dry sliding

The polyamide (PA) composite coating filled with the particles of microsized MoS₂, microsized graphite, and nano‐Al₂O₃, respectively, were prepared by flame spraying. The friction and wear characteristics of the PA coating and composite coating filled with the varied content of filler under dry sliding against stainless steel were comparatively investigated using a block‐ring tester. The morphologies of the worn surfaces and transfer films on the counterpart steel ring were observed on a scanning electron microscope. The result showed that the addition of fillers to the composite coatings changed significantly the friction coefficient and wear rate of the coatings. The composite coatings filled with a low level content of fillers showed lower wear rate than did pure PA coating under dry sliding; especially the MoS₂/PA composite coating had the lowest wear rate among these composite coatings. The composite coatings with a high level content of fillers had higher wear rate than did pure PA coating, except of the Al₂O₃/PA composite coating. The bonding strengths between the polymer matrix and fillers changed with the content of the fillers, which accounted for the differences in the tribological properties of the composite coatings filled with the varied content fillers. On the other hand, the difference in the friction and wear behaviors of the composite coatings and pure coating were attributed to the difference in their worn surface morphologies and transfer film characteristics. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Analysis of thermo-mechanical wear problems for reciprocal punch sliding

The relative sliding motion of two elastic bodies in contact induces wear process and contact shape evolution. In the case of a punch sliding on a substrate the transient process tends to a steady state for which the fixed contact stress and strain distribution develops in the contact zone. This state usually corresponds to a minimum of the wear dissipation power. The optimality conditions of the wear dissipation functional provide the contact stress distribution and the wear rate compatible with the rigid body punch motion. The present paper is aimed to extend the previous analyses [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] of steady state conditions to cases of periodic sliding of punch, assuming cyclic steady state conditions for both mechanical and thermal fields.
