Tribological Behaviours of PTFE Composites Filled with PEEK and Nano-ZrO_2 Based on Pin-on-Flat Reciprocating Friction Model

Nano-Zr O_2 and PEEK particles were synergistically filled in unfilled PTFE to improve the wear resistance and maintain a relatively low friction coefficient, and the materials were studied using a reciprocating sliding friction and wear tester. In the friction tests, the evolution of various tribological characteristics in both the contact interfaces and debris was observed, and the wear mechanism of the PTFE composites was investigated. The results showed that the wear rate of the PTFE composites synergistically filled with nano-Zr O_2 and PEEK was lower and its friction coefficient was slightly higher than that of the unfilled PTFE; the uniformity and continuity of the transfer film generated by the composite with nano-Zr O_2 and PEEK were the best, and the particle size of the debris was minimal in comparison to that in other sample systems.

Tribological Behavior of Nano-ZrO_2 Reinforced PTFE-PPS Composites

Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) is a commonly used seal material for oil-free engine that is well known for its excellent tribological properties. In this work, the nano-ZrO_2 particles were used as the friction modifiers to improve the friction and wear performance of PTFE-PPS composites. The friction and wear characteristics of PTFE/PPS-nano-ZrO_2 composites were investigated by a block-on-ring tester under dry friction sliding condition. The worn surfaces, counterpart transfer films and wear debris were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the increase of nanoZrO_2 content could effectively reduce the coefficient of friction and enhance the anti-wear ability of PTFEPPS composites. Especially, the best tribological properties of the composites were obtained when the particle content of nano-ZrO_2 was 10 vol%, the anti-wear performance of composite is 195 times better than that of the unfilled PTFE-PPS composite. Under different conditions, the coefficient of friction of PTFE/PPS-nano-ZrO_2 composites was more affected by the applied load while the wear rate was more affected by the sliding velocity.

Tribological properties of SiC/Cu composite at high temperature

SiC/Cu composites were prepared by hot pressing. The high temperature tribological properties of the composites were investigated. XRD, SEM techniques were carried out to characterize the samples. It is found that the friction coefficient of SiC/Cu composites increases with the increasing SiC content. The SiC reinforcement particles are worn down other than removed by pulling out during the wear test. Oxidation of Cu debris leads to the smooth contacting surface. Ring crack is formed under the cyclic wear test. The crack propagates through the damaged matrix and along the brittle interface between SiC particles and Cu matrix.

指尖密封用炭-炭复合材料摩擦磨损性能

为确定指尖密封用炭-炭(炭纤维增强炭基体)复合材料的摩擦学性能,针对指尖密封的轻载使用条件,应用UMT-2摩擦磨损测试仪进行炭-炭复合材料摩擦磨损性能试验,测量摩擦系数与磨损率,并采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析材料的摩擦磨损机理.结果表明,无纬布层垂直于摩擦平面时,材料的摩擦系数和磨损率较低.载荷增加,较高密度材料的磨损率增加缓慢,摩擦系数减小.与载荷相比,材料磨损率受频率的影响较小,且随频率升高摩擦磨损性能越好.磨损表面的SEM分析表明:低频、低载条件下材料发生磨粒磨损;频率的提高加快磨屑膜的成形,自润滑能力增强;载荷的增加虽使磨屑快速被挤压形成磨屑膜,但磨屑膜被不断挤出剥落,纤维裸露断裂产生严重磨损,这一点在材料密度较低时表现更为显著.选用较高密度的材料以及布置无纬布层垂直于摩擦平面可以有效缓解密封材料的磨损.

Tribological behavior of MC Nylon6 composites filled with glass fiber and fly ash

To improve tribological property of MC Nylon6,the glass fiber and fly ash reinforced monomer casting nylon composites(GFFAPA)were prepared by anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam.The friction and wear behaviors of composites under dry condition,water lubrication and oil lubrication were investigated through a ring-black wear tester.Worn surfaces were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope.The experimental results show that the tensile strength and hardness of nylon composites are obviously improved with reinforcement increasing.Compared to MC nylon,the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate of glass fiber reinforced nylon composites(GFPA)with GF30% respectively decrease by 33.1% and 65.3%,of fly ash reinforced nylon composites(FAPA)with FA20% decrease by 5.2% and 68.9% and of GFFAPA composites with GF30% and FA10% decrease by 57.8% and 89.9%.The main wear mechanisms of FAPA composites are adhesive and abrasive wear and of GFPA composites with high proportion are abrasive and fatigue wear.The worn surfaces of GFFAPA composites are much multiplex and the optional distributing glass fiber and fly ash have a synergetic effect on the wear resistance for GFFAPA composites.Compared with dry friction,the friction coefficient and wear rate under oil lubricated conditions decrease sharply while the latter reversely increase under water lubricated conditions.The wear mechanisms under water lubricated condition are principally chemical corrosion wear and abrasive wear and they become boundary friction under oil lubricated condition.     

Microstructural characterization and mechanical property of Fly Ash/Al-25Mg composites

Fly ash/Al-Mg composites are fabricated by powder metallurgical method. The morphology and structure of fly ash/A l-Mg composites are characterized by scanning electron microscope （SEM） and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The influences of different fly ash content on the friction and wear behavior of the composites are investigated at a constant sliding velocity of 400 r/min and the worn mechanism of composites is discussed. The results indicate that the friction coefficient is steadily lower than that of Al alloy matrix at the lower fly ash content and loads. For the fly ash/Al-Mg composites, the wear mechanism is characterized as abrasive wear and adhesive wear under small normal load and at low fly ash content, and it is characterized as delamination wear and abrasive wear transferred onto the counterpart under high normal load and at high fly ash content.     

Wear behavior of Cu matrix composites reinforced with mixture of carbon and carbon nanotubes

In order to improve wear resistance and decrease the cost, carbon and carbon nanotubes reinforced copper matrix composites were fabricated by the power metallurgy method. The effects of carbon (carbon and carbon nanotubes) volume fraction and applied load on the friction coefficient and wear rate under dry sliding of the composites were investigated at room temperature. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the worn surfaces and debris were observed, and wear mechanism was also analyzed and discussed. The experimental wear process consists of the run-in, steady wear and severe wear process with the increasing of sliding distance. Both the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites first decrease and then increase with the increasing of carbon volume fraction. The minimum friction coefficient and wear rate are obtained when carbon is 4.0vol%. The wear mechanisms of the composites change from the adhesive wear and delamination wear to abrasive wear with the increasing of carbon volume fraction.

Effect of Salt Spray Corrosion on Tribological Properties of HVOF Sprayed NiCr-Cr_3C_2 Coating with Intermediate Layer

The objective of the present work was to determine the influence of the neutral salt spray corrosion on the wear resistance of HVOF sprayed NiCr-Cr_3C_2 coating with intermediate layer. Ni-Zn-Al_2O_3 coatings as interlayers were prepared by low pressure cold spray(LPCS) between NiCr-Cr_3C_2 cermet coatings to form a sandwich structure to enhance the corrosion resistance properties. The tribological properties were examined using the UMT-3 fricition and wear tester by line-contact reciprocating sliding under dry and salt spray one week corrosion. The morphology, element distribution, and phase compositions of the coating and worn sufaces were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction respectively. The corrosion behavior of the coating was studied by the open-circuit potential, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and salt spray corrosion methods. It is found that the sandwich structured coating has better corrosion resistance than the single layer coating. The results show that under dry wear conditions, the wear mechanism is abrasive and adhesive wear, whereas under salt spray corrosion conditions it becomes corrosion wear. The friction coefficient of the sandwich structured coating after salt spray corrosion is slightly lower than the dry friction coefficient, but the weight of the wear loss is lower than that under dry condition.
