NBR Powder Modified Phenolic Resin Composite: Influence of Graphite on Tribological and Thermal Properties

The incorporation of graphite as a solid lubricant in the formulation of brake friction material is well-recognized practice. However, achieving the desired level of performances using graphite is still a significant challenge, due to difficulty in dispersion and loading of graphite in composite materials. The present investigation was aimed at identifying the effect of graphite loading on the tribological and thermal properties of a composite made from phenolic resin modified with powdered acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). Five composites were prepared with different proportions of graphite (0–40 phr) to the phenolic resin. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermal conductivity measurements were carried out to demonstrate the thermal stability and thermal conductivity behaviors. Both the thermal stability and thermal conductivity were found to increase with an increase in graphite content. On the other hand, the tribological properties were found to be optimum at a definite loading of graphite (30 phr). The change in surface morphology of these composites was studied before and after the friction test and correlated with the tribological properties. This investigation provides guidelines for achieving a high-performance composite using graphite for brake friction materials.

Microscratch behavior of copper–graphite composites

Microscratch tests were carried out on Cu–graphite composites with graphite content of 0–30 vol% and normal loads of 0.5–2 N. Scratch grooves generated by the plastic deformation of surfaces were characterized for detailed friction and wear mechanisms investigation. The influence of normal load and graphite content on friction coefficient was also studied. It is found that the dominant wear mechanism transits from ploughing to micro-cutting with increasing the normal loads. A friction model for knowing the contribution of ploughing and adhesion components to friction is presented. This friction model is useful in understanding the friction mechanism of composites during scratching.     

Effect of composition on friction coefficient of Cu–graphite composites

Cu–graphite composites were prepared by hot isostatic pressing from the copper and graphite powders in the range of 0–50 vol.% of graphite. The same graphite powder was copper coated and used for the preparation of coated composites with 30 and 50 vol.% of graphite. It was confirmed that with increasing concentration of graphite the coefficient of friction and wear rate of coated and uncoated composites at first decreases. When critical concentration threshold of graphite is reached the coefficient of friction of composites becomes independent on the composition while the wear rate decreases further. This threshold is not simply 20 vol.% of graphite as stated [P.K. Rohatgi, S. Ray, Y. Liu, Tribological properties of metal matrix graphite particle composites, Int. Mater. Rev. 37 (1992) 129–149.] for metal matrix composites, but it significantly depends on the composite structure: for uncoated composites, it is 12 vol.% of graphite for fine graphite powder (16 μm), while for coarse powder (25–40 μm, [S.F. Moustafa, S.A. El-Badry, A.M. Sanad, B. Kieback, Friction and wear of copper–graphite composites made with Cu-coated and uncoated graphite powders, Wear 253 (2002) 699–710.]) it is 23 vol.% of graphite. For coated composites the concentration threshold was found above 25 vol.% of graphite. The reason is that the increased number of fine copper debris within graphite rich tribolayer occurs homogeneously also at high graphite composition.     

Tribological behavior of graphite-containing nickel-based composite as function of temperature,load and counterface

Nickel-based graphite-containing composites were prepared by powder metallurgy method. Their mechanical properties at room temperature and friction and wear properties from room temperature to 600 °C were investigated by a pin-on-disk tribometer with alumina, silicon nitride and nickel-based alloy as counterfaces. The effects of graphite addition amount, temperature, load, sliding speed and counterface materials on the tribological properties were discussed. The micro-structure and worn surface morphologies were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that the composites are mainly consisted of nickel-based solid solution, free graphite and carbide formed during hot pressing. The friction and wear properties of composites are all improved by adding 6–12 wt.% graphite while the anti-bending and tensile strength as well as hardness decrease after adding graphite. The friction coefficients from room temperature to 600 °C decrease with the increase of load, sliding speed while the wear rates increase with the increasing temperature, sliding speed. The lower friction coefficients and wear rates are obtained when the composite rubs against nickel-based alloy containing molybdenum disulfide. Friction coefficients of graphite-containing composites from room temperature to 600 °C are about 0.4 while wear rates are in the magnitude of 10^?5 mm³/(N m). At high temperature, the graphite is not effective in lubrication due to the oxidation and the shield of ‘glaze’ layer formed by compacting back-transferred wear particles. EDS analysis of worn surface shows that the oxides of nickel and molybdenum play the main role of lubrication instead of graphite at the temperature above 400 °C.     

Fretting wear of Al-Si alloy matrix composites

Ball-against-disk type fretting wear tests for Al-Si alloy matrix composites in contact with bearing steel were conducted in wet air to investigate the effects of relative slip amplitude on friction and wear of the composites. In the larger range of relative slip amplitude, the Al-Si alloy-impregnated graphite composite (ALGR-MMC) shows lower friction coefficients than those of alumina short fiber-reinforced composite (ASFR-MMC) and hollow silica particle-reinforced composite (HSPR-MMC). Although the wear rate of the ALGR-MMC is higher than that of the ASFR-MMC and HSPR-MMC, the composite hardly causes damage to the mating material due to adhesion of compacted films of graphite powder and Al-Si alloy wear particles.     

Development of fly ash-based automotive brake lining

Coal-fired power plants all over the world generate huge amounts of fly ash each year, 70 million tons of which are produced in the United States alone. Only 40% of all fly ashes generated in the USA find beneficial applications and rest have to be disposed off, which is burden for the generation industry. Fly ash particles possess certain characteristics that make them suitable for use in friction composites as a filler material. An attempt has been made through this research to incorporate more than 50 wt% of fly ash particles in automotive brake lining friction composites. This paper presents the research carried out on development of friction composites, using fly ash obtained from a specific power plant in Illinois. Ingredients such as phenolic resin, aramid pulp, glass fiber, potassium titanate, graphite, aluminum fiber and copper powder were used in the composite development phase, in addition to the fly ash. The developed brake lining composites have exhibited consistent coefficients of friction in the range of 0.35–0.4, and wear rates lower than 12 wt%.     

Effect of electrical current on the tribological behavior of the Cu-WS2-G composites in air and vacuum

As the traditional graphite-based composites cannot meet the requirement of rapid developing modern industry, novel sliding electrical contact materials with high self-lubricating performance in multiple environments are eagerly required. Herein a copper-based composite with WS2 and graphite as solid lubricant are fabricated by powder metallurgy hot-pressed method. The friction and wear behaviors of the composites with and without current are investigated under the condition with sliding velocity of 10 m/s and normal load of 2.5N/cm 2 in both air and vacuum. Morphologies of the worn surfaces are observed by optical microscope and compositions of the lubricating films are analyzed by XPS. Surface profile curves and roughness of the worn surfaces are obtained by 2205 surface profiler. The results of wear tests show that the friction coefficient and wear volume loss of the composites with current are greater than that without current in both air and vacuum due to the adverse effects of electrical current which damaged the lubricating film partially and roughed the worn surfaces. XPS results demonstrate that the lubricating film formed in air is composed of oxides of Cu, WS2 , elemental S and graphite, while the lubricating film formed in vacuum is composed of Cu, WS2 and graphite. Because of the synergetic lubricating action of oxides of Cu, WS2 and graphite, the composites show low friction coefficient and wear volume loss in air condition. Owing to the fact that graphite loses its lubricity which makes WS2 become the only lubricant, severe adhesive and abrasive wear occur and result in a high value of wear rate in vacuum condition. The formation of the lubricating film on the contact interface between the brush and ring is one of the factors which can greatly affect the wear performance of the brushes. The low contact voltage drop of the composites in vacuum condition is attributed to the high content of Cu in the surface film. This study fabricated a kind of new sliding electrical contact self-lubricating composite with dual-lubricant which can work well in both air and vacuum environments and provides a comprehensive analysis on the lubrication mechanisms of the composite.     

Effect of the Graphite Content on the Tribological Behavior of Al/Gr and Al/30SiC/Gr Composites Processed by In Situ Powder Metallurgy (IPM) Method

The influence of graphite content on the dry sliding wear characteristics of Al6061/Gr composites along with Al6061/30SiC/Gr hybrid composites has been assessed using a pin-on-disc wear test. The composites with different volume fraction of graphite particles up to 13% were processed by in situ powder metallurgy (IPM) technique. The porosity and hardness of the resultant composites were also examined. It was found that an increase in the graphite content reduced the porosity, hardness, and friction coefficient of both types of composites. The hybrid composites were more porous and exhibited higher hardness and lower coefficient of friction at identical graphite contents. The increased graphite content in the range of 0–13 vol.% resulted in increased wear rate of Al/Gr composites. The Al/30SiC composite exhibited a lower wear rate as compared with the base alloy and graphite addition up to 9 vol.% improved the wear resistance of these hybrid composites. However, more graphite particles addition resulted in increased wear rate. SEM micrographs revealed that the wear mechanism was changed from mostly adhesive in the base alloy sample (Al/0Gr) to the prominently abrasive and delamination wear for Al/Gr and Al/SiC/Gr/composites.     

Effect of the Synergetic Action on Tribological Characteristics of Ni-Based Composites Containing Multiple-Lubricants

Ni-based self-lubricating composites with multiple-lubricants addition were prepared by a powder metallurgy technique, and the effect of multiple-lubricants on tribological properties was investigated from room temperature to 700?°C. The synergetic effects of graphite, MoS₂, and metallic silver lubricants on the tribological characteristics of composites were analyzed. XRD analysis showed that new Cr _x S _y and Mo₂C phase were formed in the composites containing graphite, MoS₂ and metallic Ag lubricants during the sintering process. The average friction coefficients (0.69?C0.22) and wear rates (11.90?C0.09?×?10^?5?mm³?N^?1?m^?1) were obtained when rubbing against Inconel 718 alloy from room temperature to 700?°C due to synergetic lubricating action of multiple-lubricants. A smooth lubricating was gradually generated on the worn surface, and the improving of tribological properties was attributed to the formation of lubricious glaze film on the worn surface and their partially transferred to the counterface. The graphite played the main role of lubrication at room temperature, while molybdate phase and graphite were responsible for low friction coefficients and wear rates at mid/high temperatures. The synergetic lubricating effect of molybdate (produced in the rubbing process at high temperatures) iron oxide (transfer from disk material to the pin) and remaining graphite multiple-lubricants play an important lubricating role during friction tests at a wide temperature range.
