A series of microstructural investigations has been undertaken in order to explore the reliability of particular etches in revealing microstructural detail in silicon carbide compacts. A series of specimens has been etched and examined following complete prior microstructural characterization by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry techniques. In particular, the sensitivity of both a molten salt (KOH/KNO3) etch and a commonly-used oxidizing electrolytic ‘colour’ etch to crystal purity, crystallographic orientation and polytypic structure has been established. The molten salt etch was found to be sensitive to grain boundaries and stacking disorder while the electrolytic etch was found to be primarily sensitive to local purity and crystallographic orientation. Neither etch appeared intrinsically polytype sensitive. Specifically, for the ‘colour’ etch, the p- or n-type character of impure regions appears critical in controlling etching behaviour; p-type impurities inhibiting, and n-type impurities enhancing, oxidation. The need to interpret etching behaviour in a manner consistent with the results obtained by a variety of other microstructural techniques will be emphasized. 相似文献

Dry sliding wear behaviour of Al–Si A413 alloy with and without intermetallics has been studied at ambient and elevated temperatures. It is observed that as the temperature is increased, the wear rate decreased. The reduction in wear rate is mainly attributed to the formation of glazing layers at elevated temperature and is observed in both A413 alloy with and without intermetallics. The wear due to oxidation is predominant during high temperature sliding. 相似文献

The conventional route for preparation of silicon carbide ceramics is by the use of pressureless sintering, hot pressing, or hot isostatic pressing of silicon carbide starting powders. High sintering temperatures (2073–2473 K) and the addition of sintering additives are normally used to enhance densification. These sintering additives, however, form second phases at grain boundaries which impair the mechanical properties of the material, particularly at high temperatures. It is therefore desirable that new processing routes are developed that overcome these difficulties. A proposed route is to use a polymeric pressure which can provide a Silicon carbide matrix as binding agent for silicon carbide powders, thus making the requirement for high temperatures and sintering additives unnecessary. This paper reports observations of the direct transformation of a polymeric precursor into amorphous Si–C, and crystalline SiC at low temperatures, and the use of this precursor as a binder for the production of SiC powder/ex-precursor SiC composites. 相似文献

The present study concerns the wear behavior of laser composite surfaced Al with SiC and Al + SiC particulates. A thin layer of SiC and Al + SiC (at a ratio of 1:1 and dispersed in alcohol) were pre-deposited (thickness of 100 μm) on an Al substrate and laser irradiated using a high power continuous wave (CW) CO2 laser. Irradiation leads to melting of the Al substrate with a part of the pre-deposited SiC layer, intermixing and followed by rapid solidification to form the composite layer on the surface. Following laser irradiation, a detailed characterization of the composite layer was undertaken in terms of microstructure, composition and phases. Mechanical properties like microhardness and wear resistance were evaluated in detail. The microstructure of the composite layer consists of a dispersion of partially melted SiC particles in grain refined Al matrix. Part of the SiC particles are dissociated into silicon and carbon leading to formation of the Al4C3 phase and free Si redistributed in the Al matrix. The volume fraction of SiC is maximum at the surface and decreases with depth. The microhardness of the surface improves by two to three times as compared to that of the as-received Al. A significant improvement in wear resistance in the composite surfaced Al is observed as compared to the as-received Al. The mechanism of wear for as-received vis-à-vis laser composite surfaced Al has been proposed. 相似文献

The bearings in air motors of modern jet aircraft engines must operate dry in hostile conditions at temperatures up to 500 °C. One of the few metallurgical combinations which can function efficiently under these conditions is martensitic stainless steel on tungsten carbide. The work described was initiated to isolate the wear mechanism of such steels in contact with tungsten carbide at elevated temperatures. Experiments were carried out for pure sliding conditions (pin-on-disk experiments) and for rolling-sliding angular-contact bearings such as those used in practice. Wear rates were measured for both configurations for a series of loads, speeds and surface temperatures and extensive X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out on wear debris and on worn surfaces. Three distinct mechanisms of wear were established and found to be present in both configurations. These involve oxidation and abrasive wear at lower temperatures but become heavily dependent on material transfer as temperature increases. It is proposed from the results that the pin-on-disk experiments may be useful as a screening test for the selection of materials without the considerable cost of producing one-off angular-contact components. More evidence from other materials is, however, necessary to establish the validity of the test. 相似文献

Tool wear is one of the most critical problems in machining hard, brittle materials. In the present work, diamond turning experiments were performed on reaction-bonded silicon carbide, and the tool wear characteristics were investigated. A special kind of wear pattern, namely periodical groove wear, was identified on the flank face of the tool, where the periodicity of the microgrooves was the same as the tool feed. Geometrical analysis showed that the periodical groove wear was caused by the tool feed marks on the machined surface. Laser micro-Raman spectroscopy indicated that the high-pressure abrasive wear at the tool?Cworkpiece interface dominates the wear behavior, rather than the diamond?Cgraphite transformation. By swinging the tool around its curvature center during the cutting process, the periodical groove wear pattern was suppressed, and the tool wear was reduced significantly. 相似文献

Wear debris from artificial metallic implant joints is known to provoke detrimental foreign-body reactions in the surrounding human tissue. Although commonly used biotolerant metals generate only a little amount of particles, wear is still a major cause for concern. It is the aim of this work to evaluate the sliding wear resistance of a topologically modified high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel. A disc-on-pin test in self-mating contact is performed in distilled water. Submicron particles are trapped by the structured topography and form together with the plastically deformed metal a hybrid surface which has the potential to significantly improve the tribological behaviour of the tested high-nitrogen steel. 相似文献

This paper presents investigations on the tribological behaviour of PTFE composites against steel at cryogenic temperatures. The results showed that the friction coefficient decreases with temperature down to 77 K, but did not follow a linear evolution further down to extreme low temperatures. It can be stated that the cryogenic environment has a significant influence on the tribological performance of the polymer composites. The effect of low temperatures was more clearly detected at low sliding speed, where friction heat is reduced. A change in wear mechanism from adhesive to abrasive was observed in this case. SEM and AFM analyses showed that the PTFE matrix composites investigated under these experimental conditions have transferred material onto the disc down to very low temperatures. Chemical analyses indicate the presence of iron fluorides. 相似文献

A sliding friction-and-wear test for silicon nitride (Si3N4) was conducted using a ball-on-disk specimen configuration. The material used in this study was HIPed silicon nitride. The tests were carried out from room temperature to 1000°C using self-mated silicon nitride couples in laboratory air. The worn surfaces were observed by SEM and the debris particles from the worn surfaces were analyzed for oxidation by XPS. The normal load was found to have a more significant influence on the friction coefficient of the silicon nitride than an elevated temperature. The specific wear rate was found to decrease along with the sliding distance. The specific wear rate at 29.4 N and 1000°C was 292 times larger than that at room temperature. The main wear mechanism from room temperature to 750°C was caused by brittle fracture, whereas from 750 to 1000°C the wear mechanism was mainly influenced by the oxidation of silicon nitride due to the increased temperature. The oxidation of silicon nitride at a high temperature was a significant factor in the wear increase. 相似文献

The paper presents a study of the formation of wear grooves on near-eutectic aluminium–silicon alloy flats, by sliding a steel ball. The formation of the grooves are tracked on etched and unetched flats as functions of normal load and sliding distance. The groove is initially formed by plastic flow, and then expanded by micro-abrasion as the ball continues to slide on the groove. Etching causes surface hardening of the alloy, but, more importantly creates a surface topology that reduces the peak contact pressure, which discourages further plastic flow in the subsurface. This effect is rationalised using an existing contact mechanical model of indentation of rough surfaces. 相似文献

The wear mechanisms of two different polymeric composites sliding against metal were investigated experimentally. The sliding distance, normal force and sliding speed were the test variables.Microscope observations showed that the mode of wear of the two materials is similar. Subsurface deformation, crack nucleation at the matrixharder particle or matrix-glass fibre interface, crack propagation parallel to the surface at a depth corresponding to the friction coefficient and crack shearing to the surface were found in both materials. The wear particles often have the shape of thin sheets. Comparison of the metal subsurfaces and wear particles with those of the polymers indicates that the mechanism of wear of semicrystalline composites is similar to delamination wear. Since film transfer greatly influences friction and wear it should be considered together with crack growth in fatigue in the prediction of wear of polymeric composites. 相似文献

The mass loss during sliding wear of several quasicrystalline (QC) coatings has been measured. QC coatings of the Al–Cu–Fe,
Al–Cu–Fe–Cr and Al–Pd–Mn systems have been investigated and compared with a hardened tool steel and a WC–6% Co hardmetal.
The wear rates of the coatings are in general comparable to conventional metallic materials. There is some variation in sliding
wear behaviour of different QC coatings.

The origins and the development of the oxidational theory of mild wear under conditions where the ambient temperatures are sufficiently low that no significant oxidation can occur outside the instantaneous real areas of contact between two sliding surfaces are reviewed in this paper. Emphasis is placed on the importance of heat flow analysis for calculating surface temperatures and the division of heat at the sliding interface, especially in so far as it is used for checking the surface model used for explaining the wear rates obtained in some pin-on-disc experiments with low alloy steels. It is shown that it is possible to deduce values for the oxidation constants during wear that are different from those obtained from static oxidation tests and which are relevant to a range of low alloy steels. The implications of some of the computed values of the number N of asperities beneath the pin at any given time, the temperature Tc within the real areas of contact and the critical oxide film thickness ξ are discussed. 相似文献

Cobalt-based alloys are often used for bearing applications, especially at elevated temperatures. One of the newly developed 700 series cobalt-based alloys, Stellite 712, has been demonstrated to possess high resistance to wear and corrosion in aggressive environments. Continuous efforts have been made to further improve this alloy for enhanced resistance to high-temperature wear involving oxidation. Recent studies showed that the improvement of the oxide scale on Co-base alloys by alloying with yttrium was an effective way to diminish wear of the alloys at elevated temperatures.In this work, sliding wear performances of yttrium-free and yttrium-containing Stellite 712 samples at elevated temperatures were evaluated. The mechanism responsible for changes in its wear performance was investigated by studying the effects of alloying yttrium on microstructure and mechanical properties of the bulk alloy and its oxide scale, employing various experimental methods including micro- and nano-mechanical probing, XRD, SEM-EDS, AFM and high-temperature pin-on-disc wear testing. The research demonstrated that alloying a small amount of yttrium (e.g. less than 1%Y) rendered the oxide scale on Stellite 712 stronger with higher adherence to the substrate, which was largely beneficial to the wear performance of the alloy at elevated temperatures. Mechanisms involved are discussed in this article. 相似文献

In the past decade Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have attracted increasing attention due to their beneficial properties, including high glass forming ability (GFA), high strength and hardness and high fracture toughness in both fundamental science and engineering application. Most research using these materials has been conducted at room temperature environment, and research that assesses their behavior especially at high temperature has been scarce. We present the results of high temperature effect on the friction and wear behavior of Fe-based bulk metallic glass (BMG), and we tested that this material may satisfy wear and oxidation resistance at high temperature as well as to explore the high temperature wear mechanism of the Fe-based BMG. The dry sliding tribological behaviors of Febased BMG against Si3N4 ceramic were conducted with a pin-on-disc friction and wear tribometer. The morphology of the worn surfaces of Fe-based BMG was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the chemical composition characterized with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to observe the wear characteristics and investigate the wear mechanisms. The overall average friction coefficient value generally decreased with increasing temperature, and the glass transition and the formation of protective oxide film played an important role in the tribological behavior of BMG. The wear resistance of Fe-based BMG was not only from their hardness but also from the formation protective oxide layer. Analysis of the worn surface revealed abrasion, plastic deformation and oxidation during sliding test. 相似文献

Grooving wear of single-crystal tungsten carbide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The anisotropic nature of tungsten carbide (WC) single crystals has been evaluated in single-tip scratch testing and in multiple-tip abrasion. The single-tip grooves were made with a Vickers diamond indenter and the abrasion tests were performed with diamond and silica grits. All tests were performed on both the prism and basal planes of the WC crystals. A polycrystalline binderless carbide (Bl) was also evaluated. Optical surface profilometry was used to estimate the amounts of displaced, removed and ridge-formatted material in the scratch tests and the wear volumes in the abrasion tests. The scratches and wear scars were studied with scanning electron-, atomic force- and light optical microscopy (SEM, AFM, LOM). In situ studies of the scratch process were also performed. Wear debris were analysed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that there are differences in both the amount of wear and the wear mechanisms between different crystallographic directions of WC. Depending on the direction of the slip planes in relation to the groove direction, the wear mechanisms change from ductile (grooves parallel to the slip planes) to brittle (grooves perpendicular to the slip planes). It is also shown that WC tends to wear by a formation of angular rod-shaped wear debris with the slip planes as the preferred surface planes. 相似文献

Sliding wear at elevated temperature is an important material removal mechanism in large number of engineering applications such as metal forming operation, gas turbine engines, etc. The material loss during sliding at elevated temperature is governed by the antagonistic effect of wear process and oxidation. The objective of the present work is to give an outline of the current status and future trends of wear at elevated temperature of selected metallic materials. Starting with a brief overview of present level of understanding of the elevated temperature wear of various metals and alloys, the initial parts of the paper describes various important development in recent years on elevated temperature sliding wear. The salient features which have helped us to gain in depth scientific knowledge of elevated temperature wear are discussed in the light of recent developments. The overview is further substantiated by detailed study and observation in recent times in particular, the work done at the Vienna University of Technology (Institute of Microtechnique and Precision Engineering) and at the Austrian Center of Competence for Tribology. Specific examples from the recent literatures are described to exemplify the mechanisms of formation of various types of layers during high-temperature wear. Some thoughts on the future directions for research are also outlined. 相似文献

High temperatures generally affect materials in some form. In this regard, the capability to perform nanoscale measurements
at elevated temperatures opens up new possibilities for investigating the temperature dependence of materials’ mechanical
properties. Particularly, the responses of aluminum’s different mechanical properties to indentation at various temperatures
have been studied experimentally. In this paper, aluminum response to different room temperatures was examined. The behaviors
of a single crystal aluminum during loading and unloading were observed. Nanoindentation experiments on a single crystal aluminum
(100) sample at temperatures of 265 K and 388 K were performed with different loading conditions. At the start of the first
burst of the dislocation glide, which was indicated by a sudden increase in displacement with no increase in loading, evidence
of plastic properties and softening effects on aluminum was identified. The ductile to brittle transition was observed at
temperatures below 273 K. Generally, there was a significant increase in the penetration depth and a decrease in hardness,
elastic modulus, and elastic recovery as the testing temperature increased. 相似文献
