Tribological performance of TiAlSiN and TiAlCrN/TiAlN coating blades

A new laboratory evaluation method for the coating blade was developed, and the tribological properties of coating blades with different Ti-based coatings were studied by UMT-2 tribometer. Comparison between the areas of scratches before and after the cutting experiment was used to evaluate the cutting performance of the blades. Results showed that friction coefficient of TiAlCrN / TiAlN coating was significantly lower than that of TiAlSiN coating. Analysis of the worn surface revealed that the TiAlSiN and TiAlCrN / TiAlN coatings in the dry turning process exhibited sign of inhomogeneous adhesive wear and abrasive wear. TiAlCrN/TiAlN coating has a longer working life and better anti-wear property because of its duplex coating.     

Wear Properties of Plasma Transferred Arc Fe-based Coatings Reinforced by Spherical WC Particles

Fe-based coatings reinforced by spherical WC particles were produced on the 304 stainless steel by plasma transferred arc(PTA) to enhance the surface wear properties. Three different Fe/WC composite powder mixtures containing 0 wt%, 30 wt%, and 60 wt% of WC were investigated. The microstructure and phase composition of the Fe/WC composite PTA coatings were evaluated systemically by using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The wear properties of the three fabricated PTA coatings were investigated on a BRUKER UMT TriboLab. The morphologies of the worn tracks and wear debris were characterized by using SEM and 3 D non-contract profiler. The experimental results reveal that the microhardness on the cross-section and the wear resistance of the fabricated coatings increase dramatically with the increasing adding WC contents. The coating containing 60 wt% of WC possesses excellent wear resistance validated by the lower coefficients of friction(COF), narrower and shallower wear tracks and smaller wear rate. In the pure Fe-based coating, the main wear mechanism is the combination of adhesion and oxidative wear. Adhesive and two-body abrasive wear are predominated in the coating containing 30 wt% of WC, whereas threebody abrasion wear mechanism is predominated in the coating containing 60 wt% of WC.     

Mechanical and Tribological Properties of CrN Coated Inconel X750

Three CrN coatings were deposited on the Inconel X750 through the metal vapor vacuum arc ion implantation and the magnetic filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition system(MEVVA-FCVA) with the N_2 flow rates of 10, 50, and 100 sccm, respectively. The surface morphologies and cross-section morphologies of the CrN coatings were obtained through scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and an optical profilometer.The microstructures of the coatings were characterized through X-ray diffraction(XRD). The hardness and the elastic modulus of the coatings were tested by a nano-hardness tester. The adhesion strength and friction coefficients were investigated through scratch tests and ball-on-disk tests and the wear tracks were tested by the optical profilometer. The experimental results indicate that the CrN coating deposited on the Inconel X750 substrate displays a uniform thickness and a smooth surface. The mechanical properties behaves well as the N_2 flow rate varies. The CrN coating significantly reduces the friction coefficient fluctuation and improves the antiadhesion and anti-wear properties of the Inconel X750.     

Tribological properties of CrN coating deposited on 20CrMo against tin bronze

A CrN coating was deposited on the piston pin material 20CrMo. The tribological properties of 20CrMo and CrN coating against tin bronze QSn7-0.2 were compared by pin-on-disk tests under dry friction and oil lubrication, respectively. The cross-sectional morphologies and structures of the coating were characterized through scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The hardness, elastic modulus, and adhesion strength of the coating were tested through nano-hardness and scratch tests. The wear tracks were tested with an optical profilometer, and wear volume was calculated. Under dry friction conditions, the CrN coating exhibited a significantly stable friction coefficient and a relatively lower wear rate against QSn7-0.2 at various temperatures compared with 20CrMo. The wear rate decreased by 98.5% at 700°C. Under poly-alpha-olefine lubrication, the CrN coating reduced the load effect on the friction coefficient. Under engine oil 5 W40 lubrication, the CrN coating improved the tribological properties under high speed and heavy load conditions. Simultaneously, the CrN coating changed the friction and heat flow with increasing temperature.

Microstructure and Wear Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V Treated by Plasma Zr-alloying and Plasma Nitriding

A duplex treatment of plasma Zr-alloying and plasma nitriding was used to improve the tribological properties of Ti-6Al-4V. The microstructure of the Zr-N composite(alloyed) layer formed on Ti-6Al-4V and its hardness, friction and wear properties were investigated by using OM, SEM, GDOES, EDS, microhardness tester as well as ball-on-disk tribometer. The results of microstructural analysis show that the alloyed layer is compact and uniform and is mainly composed of ZrN, TiN_(0.3) and AlN. A very tiny adhesive and slight oxidation wear is the primary wear mechanism for the modified Ti-6Al-4V. The tribological property is improved significantly after the duplex treatment. The good combination of antifriction and wear resistance for modified Ti-6Al-4V is mainly attributed to the higher surface hardness of metal nitrides formed on the surface and enhanced supporting of the Zr-diffusing layer.     

Friction and wear performances of cathodic arc ion plated TiAlSiN coating under oil lubricated condition

TiAlSiN coating was deposited on H13 hot work mould steel using cathodic arc ion plating (CAIP). The surface-interface morphologies and phases of the obtained coating were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively, and the morphologies, distributions of chemical elements and profiles of worn tracks were also researched using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), and optical microscope (OM), respectively. The friction-wear performances of TiAlSiN coating under oil lubricated and dry fiction conditions were investigated, and the wear mechanisms of TiAlSiN coating were discussed. The experimental results show that the coating is primarily composed of (Ti, Al)N, AlTiN, and TiN hard phases, Si₃N₄ exists between the (Ti, Al)N crystal grains, increasing the coating microhardness to 3200HV. The TiAlSiN coating has excellent performances of reducing friction and wear resistance, the average coefficient of friction (COF) of TiAlSiN coating under oil lubricated condition is only 0.05, lowered than the average COF of 0.211 under dry friction condition, the wear rate decreases by about 81.2% compared with that under dry friction condition. The wear mechanism of TiAlSiN coating under oil lubricated and dry friction conditions is composed of abrasive wear, fatigue wear, and abrasive wear, respectively. The internal friction of oil lubrication is a main factor of decreasing fatigue wear.

Comparison of Biotribology of Swine Compact Bone Against UHMWPE

A pin-on-disk tribometer was used, in a comparative test to observe the tribological behavior of the swine femoral bone against UHMWPE with dry friction, physiological water and human plasma lubrication. The wear mechanisms of swine bones and UHMWPE were investigated by SEM. The experimental results of these wear tests demonstrated that both the friction coefficient and wear rate of UHMWPE were the lowest when human plasma lubrication was used. The wear mechanism of the compact bone was mainly fatigue wear with dry friction, corrosive wear under physiological water lubrication and abrasive wear with human plasma lubrication. For UHMWPE, the wear mechanism was adhesive wear and plastic deformation with dry friction, serious ploughing and fatigue fracture wear under physiological water lubrication, fine ploughing and plastic deformation with human plasma lubrication. An analysis of nitrogen elements on the wear surface of UHMWPE indicated that the content of nitrogen in worn areas was 16 times higher than that in unworn areas, which proved that serum protein deposition occurred on worn areas.

Effect of Various Additives on Performance of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Coatings Formed on AZ31 Magnesium Alloy in the Phosphate Electrolytes

Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) coatings were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy using alkaline phosphate as base electrolyte system, and with the addition of sodium silicate(Na_2SiO_3), sodium aluminate(NaAlO_2) and potassium fluorozirconate(K_2ZrF_6) as additives.
