Synthesis and tribological behavior of metakaolinite-based geopolymer composites

Metakaolinite-based geopolymer composites containing 5%–30% (volume fraction) scalelike graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), respectively, were synthesized in the presence of a compound activator composed of aqueous NaOH and sodium silicate at room temperature. The tribological behaviors of the resulting composites sliding against AISI-1045 steel were investigated on an MM-200 friction and wear tester, and the bending strength and compressive strength of the composites were determined on a universal materials tester. Moreover, the worn surfaces of the composites were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which was aimed to reveal the wear mechanisms of the composites. It was found that all the three kinds of the tested solid lubricants contributed to greatly decrease the friction and wear of the composites, and they were also able to remarkably reduce the fluctuation of the friction coefficient. This was attributed to the formation of a lubricating film containing higher content of the detached solid lubricant particulates and the oxidized product Fe₂O₃ of the counterpart steel wear debris. The metakaolinite-based geopolymer was dominated by severe adhesion wear, while its composites filled with the solid lubricant particulates were characteristic of mild adhesion, scuffing, and delamination.     

Compressive and tribological properties of Al2O3 fibre and hexagonal BN particle hybrid reinforced Al-Si alloys

Al₂O₃ fibre-hexagonal BN particle hybrid reinforced aluminium-silicon alloys were fabricated by centrifugal force infiltration route. Hardness test and ultimate compressive test results are reported. The wear and friction properties of hybrid MMCs was investigated by means of a block-on-ring (bearing steel) type wear rig in a dry sliding condition. It is shown that the hardness and ultimate compressive strength of hybrid MMCs was evidently decreased with the addition of hexagonal BN particles, however, the wear rate and coefficient of friction of hybrid MMCs was improved simultaneously with increase of BN particle volume fraction, especially for the higher applied loads in the test.

Lubrication mechanisms of C‐MoS2‐Fe2O3 (Fe3O4) nano‐composite lubricants at the rubbing interfaces of non‐copper coated solid wires against the contact tube

Graphite‐MoS₂‐Fe₂O₃ (Fe₃O₄) nano‐composite lubricating coatings were prepared on the surfaces of non‐copper coated solid wires by a mechanical coating technique. The tribological behaviours of graphite‐MoS₂‐Fe₂O₃ (Fe₃O₄) coatings at the rubbing interfaces of welding wires against the contact tube were investigated. The results demonstrate that the lubricating properties of graphite‐Fe₃O₄ coatings outperform the lubricating properties of graphite‐Fe₂O₃ coatings. The anti‐wear performance of the contact tube is strengthened with increasing nano‐MoS₂ contents. Layers of protective tribofilms are formed at the rubbing interfaces of welding wires against a contact tube by tribochemical reaction among lubricants. The tribofilms are composed of FeO, MoO₃ and FeMoO₄ with excellent lubricating properties. They can avoid direct contact of welding wires against the contact tube, thus decreasing contact tube wear. With the transition of the contact tube wear from mild to severe, the dominant wear mechanisms of contact tube change from fatigue peeling and oxidative wear to abrasive wear and arc ablation.     

Material Mechanical Properties Necessary for the Structural Intervention of Concrete Structures

Structural intervention involves the restoration and/or upgrading of the mechanical performances of structures. In addition to concrete and steel, which are typical materials for concrete structures, various fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), cementitious materials with fibers, polymers, and adhesives are often applied for structural intervention. In order to predict structural performance, it is necessary to develop a generic method that is applicable to not only to steel, but also to other materials. Such a generic model could provide information on the mechanical properties required to improve the structural performance. External bonding, which is a typical scheme for structural intervention, is not applied for new structures. It is necessary to clarify material properties and structural details in order to achieve better bonding strength at the interface between the substrate concrete and an externally bonded material. This paper presents the mechanical properties of substrate concrete and relevant intervention material for the following purposes: ① to achieve better shear strength and ultimate deformation of a member after structural intervention; and ② to achieve better debonding strength for external bonding. This paper concludes that some of the mechanical properties and structural details for intervention materials that are necessary for improvement in mechanical performance in structures with structural intervention are new, and differ from those of structures without intervention. For example, high strength and stiffness are important properties for materials in structures without structural intervention, whereas high fracturing strain and low stiffness are important properties for structural intervention materials.     

Studies on mechanical and wear properties of alloyed hypereutectic gray cast irons in the as-cast pearlitic and austempered conditions

The mechanical and wear behavior of a series of as-cast gray iron alloys were compared with properties obtained after austempering at 360 °C. The austempered alloys showed equivalent or moderately enhanced mechanical strength than the as-cast pearlitic gray irons. The specific wear rates of all the austempered alloys decreased significantly by 7–15 times and friction coefficient reduced by 30–50% compared to pearlitic alloyed gray irons. The dry sliding wear studies of as-cast alloys against high carbon 1%Cr through-thickness hardened steel shows that the specific wear rate ranged from 5.6 to 19.1 (×10⁻⁷) g/Nm with friction coefficient from 0.55 to 0.7. While, the austempered alloys showed wear rates from 0.5 to 2.6 (×10⁻⁷) g/Nm with friction coefficient ranging from 0.23 to 0.4. The improved wear resistance was attributed to the layer wise surface phase transformation associated with strain induced martensite formation of the stabilized austenite in the austempered matrix, lubrication of the interface by the flake graphite and better heat conduction from the rubbing interface by higher volume fraction of the graphite. Cast iron alloyed with Ni shows enhanced mechanical properties and wear resistance. The tensile strength shows decreasing trend with increase in carbon equivalent and graphite volume. The specific wear rate and friction coefficient shows decreasing trend with increase in hardness and graphite flake volume.     

Multi-scale investigation of microstructure,fiber pullout behavior,and mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete with nano-CaCO3 particles

The mechanical properties of a fiber-reinforced concrete are closely related to the properties of the matrix, fiber, and fiber-matrix interface. The fiber-matrix bond property is mainly governed by the adhesion between the fiber and surrounding cement materials, as well as the strength of materials at the interfacial transition zone. In this paper, the effect of nano-CaCO₃ content, varying between 0 and 6.4%, by mass of cementitious materials, on microstructure development, fiber-matrix interfacial bond properties, and mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) reinforced with 2% steel fibers were investigated. The bond properties, including bond strength and pullout energy, were evaluated. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), backscattered electron microscopy (BSEM), optical microscopy, and micro-hardness testing were used to characterize the microstructure of matrix and/or interfacial transition zone (ITZ) around an embedded steel fiber. Test results indicated that the incorporation of 3.2% nano-CaCO₃ significantly improved the fiber-matrix bond properties and the flexural properties of UHPC. This was attributed to densification and strength enhancement of ITZ as observed from micro-structural analyses. Beyond the nano-CaCO₃ content of 3.2%, the fiber bond and mechanical properties of UHPC decreased due to increased porosity associated with agglomeration of the nano-CaCO₃.     

Improving the specific wear rate and coefficient of friction of polyamide 6 polymer and its composite by adding wax under self-operation conditions

Polyamide polymers are widely used in tribological areas in a wide range of industries. The purpose of this study is to extend the tribological life of this material. For this purpose, composite materials were produced by adding solid lubricants such as graphite and wax to the polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix at different rates, and the synergistic effect of these composites on tribological behavior was investigated. Tribological experiments were carried out under dry sliding conditions and on themselves. The polyamide 6/graphite/wax composites were first produced in the form of granules in a twin-screw extruder, and then test samples were molded using the injection molding technique. Wear tests were performed using a pin-on-disc wear device. Tribological tests were carried out at a sliding speed of 0.5 m s⁻¹ and under loads ranging from 10 N to 250 N. Following the experiments, the friction coefficient, specific wear rate, and surface wear were determined under the condition of the materials working on each other. The results showed that the lowest specific wear rate and friction coefficient were obtained for the polyamide 6 composites containing 6 % wax and 15 % glass fiber working on each other.     

Tribological properties of surface modified nano-alumina/epoxy composites

Nano-sized Al₂O₃ particles grafted with polystyrene or polyarcrylamide were employed as fillers for fabricating epoxy based composites. Curing habit, mechanical properties and tribological performance revealed by sliding wear tests of the composites were investigated. The experimental results indicated that the nanoparticles accelerate curing of epoxy, increase composites' impact strength and decrease wear rate and frictional coefficient of the composites. The surface modification by means of grafting polymerization can further enhance the properties improvement of epoxy due to the increased filler/matrix interfacial interaction. Compared to frictional coefficient, wear rate of epoxy can be decreased more remarkably by the addition of nano-alumina when rubbing against steel. The wear mode changes from severe peeling off of unfilled epoxy to mild micro-ploughing in the case of nano-alumina filled composites.     

Wear behavior of light-weight and high strength Fe-Mn-Ni-Al matrix self-lubricating steels

The good combination of mechanical and tribological properties for self-lubricating materials is crucial. In this work, novel self-lubricating Fe-16.4 Mn-4.8 Ni-9.9 Al-xC(wt%) steels containing graphite phase were fabricated using mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. The compositions of the steels were designed by using thermodynamic calculation, and the effect of carbon addition on the microstructure was further investigated. The steel possesses high hardness of 621 HV, high yield strength of 1437 MPa and good fracture toughness at room temperature. The yield strengths are still above 600 MPa at 600?C.The tribological behavior and mechanical properties from room temperature to 800?C were studied, and the wear mechanisms at elevated temperatures were discussed. The steel has a stable friction coefficient of 0.4 and wear rate in a magnitude of 10~(-6) mm~3/N·m below 600?C. The good tribological properties of the steels were mainly attributed to the high hardness, lubrication of graphite and stable surface oxide layer.     

Mechanical and tribological properties of self-lubricating metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene – A review

Rapid innovation in nanotechnology in recent years enabled development of advanced metal matrix nanocomposites for structural engineering and functional devices. Carbonous materials, such as graphite, carbon nanotubes (CNT's), and graphene possess unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Owe to their lubricious nature, these carbonous materials have attracted researchers to synthesize lightweight self-lubricating metal matrix nanocomposites with superior mechanical and tribological properties for several applications in automotive and aerospace industries. This review focuses on the recent development in mechanical and tribological behavior of self-lubricating metallic nanocomposites reinforced by carbonous nanomaterials such as CNT and graphene. The review includes development of self-lubricating nanocomposites, related issues in their processing, their characterization, and investigation of their tribological behavior. The results reveal that adding CNT and graphene to metals decreases both coefficient of friction and wear rate as well as increases the tensile strength. The mechanisms involved for the improved mechanical and tribological behavior is discussed.     

Coatings for wear and lubrication

In this paper we review the recent advances in the tribological uses of r.f.-sputtered and ion-plated films of solid film lubricants (laminar solids, soft metals, organic polymers) and wear-resistant refractory compounds (carbides, nitrides, silicides). The sputtering and ion-plating potentials and the corresponding coatings formed are evaluated relative to the friction coefficient, wear endurance life and mechanical properties. The tribological and mechanical properties of each kind of film are discussed in terms of film adherence, coherence, density, grain si morphology, internal stresses and thickness and substrate conditions such as temperature, topography, chemistry and d.c. biasing. The ion-plated metallic films in addition to improved tribological properties also have better mechanical properties such as tensile strength and fatigue life.     

Mechanical properties of electrospun collagen–chitosan complex single fibers and membrane

Collagen and chitosan blends were fabricated into ultrafine fibers to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM). So far less mechanical property investigation of electrospun fibers has been reported because of the small dimensions of micro and nanostructures that pose a tremendous challenge for the experimental study of their mechanical properties. In this paper, the electrospun collagen–chitosan complex single fibers and fibrous membrane were collected and their mechanical properties were investigated with a nano tensile testing system and a universal materials tester, respectively. The mechanical properties were found to be dependent on fiber diameter and the ratio of collagen to chitosan in fibers. Fibers with a smaller diameter had higher strength but lower ductility due to the higher draw ratio that was applied during the electrospinning process. For the electrospun single fibers, the fibers demonstrated excellent tensile ductility at chitosan content of 10% and 20% and the highest tensile strength and Young's modulus at chitosan content from 40% to 60%. For the electrospun fibrous membrane, the ultimate tensile strength of the fibrous membrane decreased with the increase of chitosan content in fibers and the trend in the ultimate tensile elongation is similar to that of the single fiber.

Effect of boronising on mechanical properties,wear and corrosion of N80 steel

Abstract

The effect of boronising on N80 steel tube was investigated by pack boriding. During the present investigation, microstructures of boride layer and substrate, hardness, mechanical properties, wear and corrosion were examined. In order to improve the tensile properties of the steel substrate after boronising, four different cooling methods were employed including annealing, air cooling, fan cooling and fan cooling with a graphite bar in the centre of boriding agent. Among these methods, the fan cooling with a graphite bar in the centre of the boriding agent makes the microstructure of ferrite and pearlite finest and the mechanical properties highest, in accordance with the mechanical properties required by API SPEC 5L. The borided N80 steel showed a better wear resistance at an applied load of 50 N with a sliding velocity of 0˙785 m s^–1, it also displayed a better corrosion resistance in both H₂SO₄ and HCl acid environments.     

A study of the dry friction characteristics of some cermets at high sliding speeds

Summary Satisfactory performance of rotary seal materials demands not only a relatively low hardness and high resistance to heat, but also good antifriction properties; the latter are required to ensure that the blade tips and rotary seal rings can readily cut into the inserts at high sliding speeds without seizing.The results of our study of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of dry friction of cermet sealing materials in a wide sliding speed range (10–100 m/sec) showed that high temperatures attained by the surface layers of specimens tested at high sliding speeds lead to substantial changes in structure and properties of these materials, and that oxide films formed under these conditions prevent the onset of seizing. Graphite and boron nitride used as solid lubricants in the cermet sealing materials S-120 and UMB-4s act as protective antifriction additives. At sliding speeds higher than 70 m/sec, however, at which high temperatures are generated by friction, graphite burns out; as a result, both the friction coefficients and the rate of wear of material S-120 increase.Boron nitride is a more chemically stable solid lubricant; as a result, both the friction coefficient of material UMB-4s over the entire sliding speed range investigated and its rate of wear at high sliding speeds are lower than those of material S-120.

A Comparative Investigation of the Tribological Behavior of Short Fiber Reinforced Polyimide Composites Under Dry Sliding and Water-Lubricated Condition

The friction and wear behavior of high performance polyimide (PI) and its composites reinforced with short cut fibers such as carbon fiber, glass fiber and quartz fiber was comparatively evaluated under dry sliding and water-lubricated condition, aiming at selecting matching materials for the pumps of pure water power transmission. The wear mechanisms of the composites under the two different sliding conditions were also comparatively discussed, based on scanning electron microscopic examination of the worn composite and steel counterpart surfaces. As the results, the PI composites reinforced with carbon fiber have the best mechanical and tribological properties compared with glass fiber and quartz fiber. PI composites sliding against stainless steel register lower friction coefficients and wear rates under water-lubricated condition than under dry sliding though the transfer of PI and its composites was considerably hindered in this case. PI and its composites are characterized by plastic deformation, micro cracking, and spalling under both dry-and water-lubricated sliding. Such plastic deformation, micro cracking, and spalling is significantly abated under water-lubricated condition. The glass and quart2 fibers were easily abraded and broken when sliding against steel in water environment, the broken fibers transferred to the mating metal surface and increase the surface roughness of mating stainless steel. This is probably the cause of the increased wear rate of glass fiber and quartz fiber PI composites in this case.     

Dry self-lubricating composites

Chopped strand carbon fibers, glass fibers and their hybrids were used to reinforce an epoxy matrix to which additives of PTFE, graphite and molybdenum disulfide were used for producing a dry self-lubricating material. Their tribology properties were studied using testing machines of thrust and journal radial. Also, the PV value, friction coefficient, wear rate and the contact surface temperatures were determined. The compression strength of the bush ring and the impact strength of material were evaluated. The surfaces of wear were investigated. The mode of fracture mechanism is proposed according to the specimens morphology. The relationship between friction coefficient and loading correlated well with the Myoshis equation in the case of a backing material. This study provided an optimal approach of making dry wear bearings by glass fibers backing at low friction coefficient.
