Fretting wear mechanisms of Zircaloy-4 and Inconel 600 contact in air

The fretting wear behavior of the contact between Zircaloy-4 tube and Inconel 600, which are used as the fuel rod cladding and grid, respectively, in PWR nuclear power plants was investigated in air. In this study, number of cycles, slip amplitude and normal load were selected as the main factors of fretting wear. The results indicated that wear increased with load, slip amplitude and number of cycles but was affected mainly by the slip amplitude. SEM micrographs revealed the characteristics of fretting wear features on the surface of the specimens such as stick, partial slip and gross slip which depended on the slip amplitude. It was found that fretting wear was caused by the crack generation along the stick-slip boundaries due to the accumulation of plastic flow at small slip amplitudes and by abrasive wear in the entire contact area at high slip amplitudes.     

On the fretting wear mechanism of Zr-alloys

Zirconium alloys are highly desirable in nuclear applications due to their transparency to thermal energy neutrons and for their high corrosion resistance. The main objective of this study is to investigate the fretting wear mechanism of Zr–2.5%Nb alloy. The experimental work was carried out in air at 265 °C, using a specially designed fretting wear tribometer. The transfer of material, the change in the wear volume and the maximum wear depth with the number of cycles were measured through 3D mapping of the topography of the fretted surface. SEM and Fourier Transform Infrared Interferometry methods were used to examine the microspall pits and to measure the distribution of the thickness of oxide layer in the fretting region. For relatively small slip amplitude, the results showed that the fretting wear mechanism is initially dominated by adhesion and abrasion actions and then by delamination and surface fatigue. The time variation of the wear losses was shown to be cyclic until a steady state value is reached. At high slip amplitudes, however, abrasion and delamination are the only dominant wear mechanisms. The volumetric wear losses were found to decrease monotonically with the number of cycles. A novel approach was introduced, whereby the thermal and electrical contact resistances of the fretting interface are simultaneously measured. The results demonstrated the potential use of this non-intrusive approach for real-time monitoring of the fretting wear mechanism.

采用面接触扭动微动形式,以动力定位系统可调距螺旋桨桨-毂轴承摩擦副材料(CuNiAl-42CrMo4)为对象,以不同的角位移幅值模拟海水波动影响下的微动磨损行为,并结合扫描电子显微镜和超景深三维显微镜对磨痕形貌进行分析,探究桨-毂轴承摩擦副材料扭动微动磨损规律。结果表明,随着角位移幅值的增加,扭动微动依次运行于部分滑移区、混合区、滑移区,摩擦因数减小,同时磨损量增加,微动损伤中剥层机制所占的比例逐渐增加,且由于疲劳裂纹扩展的不利影响,实际运行过程中要尽量避开混合区。     

Fretting wear behaviors of steel wires under friction-increasing grease conditions

Fretting wear tests were performed on the self-made fretting wear rig to investigate fretting wear behaviors of steel wires under friction-increasing grease conditions. The results demonstrated that the fretting regimes were dependent on displacement amplitudes and normal loads. The friction coefficient exhibited different variation trends in different fretting regimes. Friction-increasing grease changed the fretting running behavior and had a very good wear resistance for steel wires. Wear was slight in partial slip regime. Mixed regime was characterized by plastic deformation, fatigue cracks and abrasive wear. Slip regime presented main damage mechanisms of abrasive wear, fatigue wear and oxidation.     

An experimental study torsional fretting behaviors of LZ50 steel

Four simple fretting modes are defined according to relative motion: tangential, radial, rotational, and torsional fretting. This paper presents a new test rig that was developed from a low-speed reciprocating rotary system to show torsional fretting wear under ball-on-flat contact. Torsional fretting behavior was investigated for LZ50 steel flats against AISI52100 steel balls under various angular displacement amplitudes and normal loads. The friction torques and dissipation energy were analyzed in detail. Two types of T–θ curves in the shape of quasi-parallelograms and ellipticals were found that correspond to gross and partial slips, respectively. The experimental results showed that the dynamic behavior and damage processes depend strongly on the normal loads, angular displacement amplitudes, and cycles. In this paper, the debris and oxidation behaviors and detachment of particles in partial and gross slip regimes are also discussed. Debris and oxidation are shown to have important roles during the torsional fretting processes. The wear mechanism of torsional fretting was a combination of abrasive and oxidative wear and delamination before third-body bed formation. The mechanism was then transformed into third-body wear after a great amount of debris formed.     

The investigation of the steady stage of steel fretting

The effects of slip length, frequency, surface pressure and shape of the longitudinal oscillatory motion on the fretting wear of steel were investigated by a specially designed fretting apparatus using an M.T.S. closed loop axial hydraulic testing system.

The rate of fretting wear in the steady stage was found to increase with increasing slip length and specific surface pressure and to decrease with increasing cyclic frequency and material hardness. The wave shape of the oscillatory motion does not appear to affect the wear rate.

Increased slip, greater surface pressure and lower cycling frequency all promote the adhesion mechanism of fretting. With higher frequencies decreased slip and low surface pressures, the product of fretting wear is mainly oxides and oxidation is the leading wear mechanism.     

钛合金球与骨水泥界面之间的微动磨损机制研究

采用钛合金球与自制骨水泥试样以球/平面接触方式,在自制的微动摩擦磨损试验机上开展干摩擦和25%小牛血清介质中切向微动磨损试验研究,考察钛合金球与骨水泥界面之间的微动运行特性,并采用S-3000N型扫描电镜观察磨痕形貌来分析其微动磨损机制。结果表明:随着微动振幅的增加,微动运行由部分滑移区向混合区转变。随着接触载荷的增加,试样接触面之间更容易发生黏着。与干摩擦相比,在小牛血清溶液中部分滑移区向较大振幅区扩展。部分滑移区摩擦因数值较低且保持稳定,混合区的摩擦因数先增大后保持不变。稳定摩擦因数随着接触载荷的增加而减小,随微动振幅增大而增大。骨水泥试样的磨损量在小牛血清介质中比在空气中大,并且随接触载荷增大而增大。骨水泥在小牛血清介质中微动磨损的损伤机制主要为黏着磨损和疲劳磨损,溶液分子在应力作用下对骨水泥基体有削弱作用。     

Fretting wear behaviors of a railway axle steel

Fretting damage was one of the most important reasons for the failure of the railway axle. Fretting wear (tangential fretting mode) tests of a railway axle steel (LZ50 steel) flats against 52 100 steel balls were carried out under different normal loads and displacement amplitudes on a hydraulic fretting wear rig. Dynamic analyses in combination with microscopic examinations have been performed. The experimental results showed that the fretting regimes of the LZ50 steel were strongly dependent upon the imposed normal loads and displacement amplitudes. The F_t/F_n curves exhibited different variation trends in different fretting running regimes. The fretting scars presented slight damage in partial slip regime. In mixed fretting regime, the trace of the plowing and plastic deformation flow can be observed on the fretting scars. The wear mechanism during this regime was the combination of the abrasive wear, oxidative wear and delamination accompanied with obvious plastic deformation. The detachment of particles and plowing traces were the main phenomena in slip regime. And, thicker debris layer covered the contact zone of the scar. The severe degradation in slip regime presented the main wear mechanisms of abrasive wear, oxidative wear and delamination.

Frequency effects in fretting wear

The effect of frequency of vibration on fretting wear has been investigated in the 10 – 1000 Hz range with additional experiments at 20 000 Hz. Fretting tests were performed with two materials, a low carbon steel (AISI 1018) and an austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304). The experiments showed that two cases of fretting contact can be distinguished and related to the displacement amplitude. If the amplitude is low, the contact situation is characterized by partial stick at the interface. At these conditions the wear rate (measured as the volume of material removed per cycle) is little affected by frequency. However, in low amplitude fretting material damage by surface degradation and fatigue crack initiation is usually of more concern than the actual wear itself. Both of these parameters are found to be greatly accelerated by an increase in frequency. In high amplitude fretting, in contrast, gross slip occurs at the interface and wear becomes the dominant damage mode. At these conditions variations in frequency appear to have little effect on fretting wear and related mechanisms. Therefore, in the case of fretting at high displacement amplitudes, it may be possible to apply high frequency fretting to obtain accelerated testing conditions.

Torsional Fretting Wear Behavior of Bonded MoS2 Solid Lubricant Coatings

The effects of applying a bonded MoS₂ solid lubricant to a 1050 steel substrate were investigated using a torsional fretting wear apparatus. Tests were conducted under a normal load of 50 N with angular displacement amplitudes ranging from 0.1 to 5°. Wear scars were examined using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, optical microscopy, and surface profilometry. The MoS₂ coating exhibited different torsional fretting regimes than those of the substrate. Fretting regimes of the coating were primarily in the partial slip regime (PSR) and the slip regime (SR) with no mixed fretting regime. The width of the PSR narrowed. Due to the lubricating effects of the coating, the friction torque was consistently lower than that of the substrate. The damage to the coating in the PSR was very slight, and its granular structure remained even after 1,000 cycles. The damage mechanism to the SR coating was a combination of abrasive wear, oxidative wear, and delamination. The MoS₂ coating had potential to alleviate torsional fretting wear.     

Experimental Study of the Fretting Wear Behavior of Incoloy 800 Alloy at High Temperature

The fretting wear behavior of the nuclear power material Incoloy 800 was investigated in this study. A PLINT high-temperature fretting tester was used on an Incoloy 800 cylinder against a 304SS cylinder at vertical cross contact under different temperatures (25, 300, and 400°C). During testing, a normal load of 80 N was applied, and the displacement amplitudes ranged from 2 to 40 µm. The fretting wear mechanism at high temperatures and the kinetic character of the materials of the Incoloy 800 steam generator tube were analyzed. Results showed that the fretting running regimes varied little with ncreasing temperature, and some microcracks were observed in both the mixed fretting regime (MFR) and the partial slip regime (PSR) at high temperatures. Slight abrasive wear and microcracks were the main wear mechanisms of the Incoloy 800 alloy in PSR, whereas those in the MFR and the gross slip regime were oxidative wear, abrasive wear, and delamination.     

The fretting wear of Ti-6Al-4v and aged inconel 718 at elevated temperatures

The fretting wear of Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718 was investigated with a sphere-on-flat configuration. The spherical surface was 100 mm in radius and in all tests was made of the same material as the flat. The normal load was 2.75 N and the frequency of the tangential movement was 50 Hz. Two amplitudes of slip were used, 10 and 40 μm. Tests were conducted in air at temperatures up to 600 °C for the titanium alloy and up to 540 °C for the nickel alloy. High temperature strain gauges enabled a continuous record of the tangential stress to be made and subsequent calculation of the coefficient of friction. Wear was assessed from measurement of the scar volume. At 280 and 540 °C at an amplitude of 40 μm the coefficient of friction and wear rate decreased to a low value on the nickel alloy. This only occurred at 540 °C for the lower amplitude of slip. Low friction and wear are associated with the formation of a “glaze” oxide, which requires a larger slip amplitude at lower temperatures for its formation.The titanium alloy generally exhibited higher coefficients of friction which continued to increase at 10⁶ cycles, although wear rates at 200 °C and above were comparable with those on the nickel alloy. “Glaze” oxide begins to form at 200 °C and is well developed at 400 °C. At 600 °C breakdown occurs owing to local creep of the substrate.     

Effect of Cold Rolling on the Fretting Wear Behavior and Mechanism in Inconel 600 Alloy

The fretting test was carried out using an SRV IV fretting test rig in order to investigate the fretting wear behavior and mechanism in Inconel 600 alloy at room temperature. The materials were rolled to different reductions before the test. The effect of cold rolling on the friction coefficient and wear volume was subsequently investigated. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the wear scar were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), and electron back-scattering diffraction (EBSD). The results indicated that the cold rolling had a different effect on wear behavior in different slip regimes. In the stick regime, cold rolling strongly decreased the wear volume, although it did not affect the friction coefficient. The 25% rolled specimen had the minimum wear volume. The mechanisms of as-received and 50% rolled specimens were delamination and oxidation wear, whereas for the 25% rolled specimen, cracking was the main wear mechanism. In the gross slip regime, cold rolling had little effect on the friction coefficient or wear volume. The fretting wear process gave rise to a decrease in the Σ3 grain boundary, an increase in local misorientation, and a change in the crystal orientation.     

Effect of Cold Rolling on the Fretting Wear Behavior and Mechanism in Inconel 690 Alloy

The influence of cold rolling on the fretting wear behavior and mechanism of Inconel 690 alloy at 320?°C in air was studied. The wear volume and worn surface were obtained and analyzed using laser scanning confocal microscopy, electron back-scattering diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The grinding surface and strain distribution were also studied by electron back-scattering diffraction to analyze the mechanism of fretting damage. The results indicated that with an increase in cold rolling reduction, the microhardness was increased. However, the friction coefficient and wear volume first increased and then decreased. The characteristics of fretting areas changed from a gross slip regime to a partial slip regime. Accordingly, the damage mechanism in the gross slip regime was a combination of oxidative wear, abrasive wear, and delamination, whereas the damage mechanism in the partial slip regime was mainly adhesive wear.     

Nanoscale fretting wear study by scanning probe microscopy

Nanoscale fretting wear was studied by using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and a newly proposed unified approach of slip index. The production of SiO₂ colloidal probes and the SPM calibration are described. Partial and gross slip fretting with displacement amplitudes from 5 to 500 nm were used for the study. Friction coefficient and nanowear results are presented showing a substantial increase of the friction at the transition from partial to gross slip and a significant difference between damaged surfaces in the two fretting regimes.     

Wear mechanisms in oil-lubricated and dry fretting of silicon nitride against bearing steel contacts

The wear and friction behaviour of silicon nitride against bearing steel was investigated under lubricated and dry fretting conditions as a function of amplitude and test duration. Tests were performed on a high frequency fretting tester. Silicon nitride bearing balls were used as the upper oscillating specimens while the lower stationary flats were standard specimens of bearing steel. Amplitudes in the intermediate 5 to 50 μm range and a test duration from 10 to 360 min were studied. In lubricated conditions a commercial lubricant. ISO VG 220, was used. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Auger spectroscopy (AES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to determine the wear mechanisms.

Under lubricated conditions transition from high to low wear volumes was recognised with increasing amplitude. At lower amplitudes and in the early stage of fretting tests at moderate amplitudes, mechanical wear dominated. Cracks on the stick-slip boundary and spalling of a thin tribolayer was observed. Under these conditions the highest wear in lubricated fretting was obtained. In the final stage of fretting tests at moderate amplitudes, and from the beginning at higher amplitude, tribochemical wear is suggested as the dominant wear form. A 0.2 μm thick tribolayer was observed on the contact, containing inclusions with different Fe and Si contents. A very high concentration of carbon, formed by oil degradation, was also determined in this layer, confirming the critical influence of oil on the wear behaviour.

Quite a different wear mechanism is proposed for dry fretting conditions. Results of AES analysis showed a layer an order of magnitude thicker than in lubricated fretting, also having a remarkably different chemical composition. TEM analysis confirmed that the reaction layer consisted of a silica-rich amorphous phase containing small inclusions of Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄. In contrast to lubricated conditions, where the layer created was ductile, in the case of dry fretting the layer was brittle. The continuous process of forming and spalling the brittle tribolayer caused much higher wear rates and wear losses than under lubricated fretting conditions. No transition in wear behaviour was observed as was the case in lubricated fretting.
