Torsional fretting corrosion behaviours of Ti6Al4V alloys in Hank’s simulated body fluid

ABSTRACT

Torsional fretting corrosion in a physiological medium is one of the main reasons that artificial joints fail. In this study, we carried out experiments on torsional fretting corrosion in Titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V) against Zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) ceramic balls under 37°C in a Hank’s simulated body fluid. During the tests, we recorded electrochemical corrosion parameters using an electrochemical analysis system in real-time. We analysed the torsional fretting dynamics behaviours, damage mechanisms, and electrochemical corrosion behaviours in detail using the micro-examinations of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), a profilometer, and an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The results showed that the dynamics behaviours strongly depended upon the torsional angular displacement amplitude and the number of cycles. The friction torque increased with increases in the torsional angular displacement amplitude and normal load. We established a running condition fretting map (RCFM), which included three fretting running regimes: a partial slip regime (PSR), a mixed fretting regime (MFR), and a slip regime (SR). We determined that the influences of torsional fretting on electrochemical corrosion behaviours were strongly correlated to the angular displacement amplitude. Under large angular displacement amplitudes, the corrosion of the Ti6Al4V alloys in Hank’s simulated body fluids were accelerated by torsional fretting, especially during the initial stage of the test. However, when the angular displacement amplitude was smaller than 1°, the corrosion potentials and corrosion currents were almost invariable during the entire duration of the test. The damage to the Ti6Al4V alloy was the result of wear and corrosion. The wear mechanisms were attributable to delamination and abrasive wear in the three fretting regimes. We observed almost no damage on the contact centre and only slight scratches and wear on the contact edge in the PSR. In MFR testing, the damage zone extended to the contact centre and the sticking zone (which exhibited no damage) contracted to the contact centre with increases in the number of cycles. Ultimately, in MFR and SR testing, the damage mechanisms were primarily the result of abrasive wear, oxidation wear, tribochemical reactions, adhesion wear, and electrochemical corrosion.     

Fretting wear of micro-arc oxidation coating prepared on Ti6Al4V alloy

Micro-arc oxidation(MAO)coating was prepared on Ti6Al4V alloy surface and its characterizations were detected by Vickers hardness tester,profilometer,scanning electric microscope(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDX)and X-ray diffractometer(XRD).Fretting wear behaviors of the coating and its substrate were comparatively tested without lubrication under varied displacement amplitudes(D)in a range of 3-40μm,constant normal load(Fn)of 300 N and frequency of 5 Hz.The results showed that the MAO coating,presenting rough and porous surface and high hardness,mainly consisted of rutile and anatase TiO2 phases.Compared with the substrate,the MAO coating could shift the mixed fretting regime(MFR)and slip regime(SR)to a direction of smaller displacement amplitude.In the partial slip regime(PSR),lower friction coefficients and slight damage appeared due to the coordination of elastic deformation of contact zones.In the MFR,the friction coefficient of the coating was lower than that of the substrate as a result of the prevention of plastic deformation by the hard ceramic surface.With the increase of the displacement amplitude,the degradation of the MAO coating and the substrate increased extremely.The fretting wear mechanisms of the coating were abrasive wear and delamination with some material transfer of specimen.In addition,the coating presented a better property for alleviating fretting wear.     

Ti6Al4V 合金在Saline溶液中的扭动微动磨损

在球/面接触中存在四种微动模式,即切向、径向、转动和扭动微动,在生理介质中扭动微动是人工关节失效的主要原因之一。本文成功建立了一种可在恒温液体介质中实现球/面接触扭动微动的新的试验系统。利用该系统,在37℃的Saline溶液中进行了钛合金/二氧化锆陶瓷球的扭动微动试验,详细讨论了扭动微动的运行行为和损伤机理。结果表明,扭动微动动力学行为在很大程度上取决于扭动角位移振幅和周期数。研究建立了扭动微动运行工况图（RCFM）,包括3个区域,即：部分滑移区（PSR）,混合区（MFR）和完全滑移区（SR）。在部分滑移区,接触中心没有发现任何损伤,接触边缘上只观察到轻微的擦伤和磨损。在混合区,损坏区域从接触边缘向中心扩展,接触中心无损伤,接触边缘区域出现氧化磨损和损伤。在滑移区,整个接触区域均发生损伤,损伤机理主要是磨蚀磨损、氧化磨损、和粘着磨损。

钛及其合金的扭动微动摩擦磨损特性

采用新型扭动微动试验机在法向载荷为50、80和110 N及角位移幅值为0.3°~10°的条件下进行TA2和TC4合金与ZrO2对磨球的扭动微动试验。在摩擦动力学行为研究的基础上,结合磨痕形貌微观分析,考察TA2和TC4合金的扭动微动磨损特性。结果表明:可用摩擦扭矩—角位移曲线和摩擦扭矩时变曲线表征合金的扭动微动行为,获得了TA2和TC4合金的扭动微动运行工况微动图,TA2合金的混合区较TC4合金的宽。摩擦扭矩随法向载荷和角位移幅值的增加而增加,在相同试验条件下,TA2合金的摩擦扭矩始终大于TC4合金的。在部分滑移区,损伤轻微;在混合区和滑移区,损伤加剧,扭动微动摩擦磨损机制主要为磨粒磨损、氧化磨损和剥落。     

接触载荷对TC4钛合金微动磨损行为的影响

目的在不同的载荷和位移幅值下,结合微动图研究微动接触状态、滑移状态、损伤体积三者对微动摩擦磨损的影响以及不同微动接触状态和滑移状态下材料的损伤机理,为机械构件的微动磨损防护设计提供一定的理论支持。方法在相对湿度为50%、干摩擦条件下,运用SRV-V摩擦实验机,采用球/平面接触形式研究了TC4钛合金/GCr15钢球摩擦副的微动摩擦磨损行为。实验后,用原子力显微镜、纳米压痕仪、三维光学轮廓仪、场发射扫描电子显微镜及其自带的EDS,测试TC4试样的表面形貌及粗糙度、弹性模量与硬度、磨损体积与截面形貌和显微结构及磨斑、磨屑形貌成分等。结果在较低法向载荷下,完全滑移(GSR)占主导地位。磨粒磨损、粘着磨损、氧化磨损以及疲劳脱层是主要的损伤机理。另一方面,在较高法向载荷下,混合滑移(MSR)、部分滑移(PSR)占主导地位。损伤机制是由于高的应力集中,导致疲劳裂纹。此外,不同的微动运行条件下和材料损伤区域也不相同。完全滑移条件下,损伤主要集中在磨斑中心,而部分滑移条件下,损伤主要集中在磨斑边缘。结论切向摩擦力、微动振幅是影响微动磨损的重要因素。小位移幅值下,磨屑可以减缓接触面钛合金基体材料的微动磨损;而大位移幅值下,磨屑会加剧接触面基体材料的微动磨损。     

Inconel690在联氨溶液中的磨损行为(英文)

在控制法向载荷分别为20、50和80 N,位移幅值分别为80、150和200μm的两种不同环境下,以Si3N4陶瓷球/Inconel690平面接触的方式,在PLINT高温微动试验机上进行微动腐蚀试验,循环次数为2×104。结果表明:在滑移区,当载荷、位移幅值一定时,相同温度联氨溶液中的稳态摩擦因数比其在蒸馏水中高;稳态摩擦因数随溶液的温度增加而增加;磨损体积随溶液温度增加而增加。Inconel 690在联氨溶液摩擦过程中,磨损程度除受到位移幅值、荷载影响以外,温度对磨损体积有显著影响。温度的增加即降低溶液的溶解氧又促进联胺与溶解氧的吸收反应,起到降低氧化腐蚀的作用。在蒸馏水中Inconel 690合金材料的磨损机制主要为磨粒磨损和剥层,而在联氨溶液中其磨损机制主要为裂纹伴随磨粒磨损和剥层。     

Effect of TiN/Ti multilayer on fretting fatigue resistance of Ti-811 alloy at elevated temperature

The TiN/Ti multilayer was deposited on Ti-811 alloy surface by magnetron sputtering(MS) technique for improving fretting fatigue(FF) resistance of the titanium alloy at elevated temperature. The element distribution, bonding strength, micro-hardness and ductility of the TiN/Ti multilayer were measured. The effects of the TiN/Ti multilayer on the tribological property and fretting fatigue resistance of the titanium alloy substrate at elevated temperature were compared. The results indicate that by MS technique a TiN/Ti multilayer with high hardness, good ductility and high bearing load capability can be prepared. The MS TiN/Ti multilayer, for its good toughness and tribological behavior, can significantly improve the wear resistance and FF resistance of the Ti-811 alloy at 350 ℃.     

Effect of nitrogen ion implantation dose on torsional fretting wear behavior of titanium and its alloy

Various doses of nitrogen ions were implanted into the surface of pure titanium, Ti6Al7Nb and Ti6Al4V, by plasma immersion ion implantation. Torsional fretting wear tests involving flat specimens of no-treated and treated titanium, as well as its alloys, against a ZrO₂ ball contact were performed on a torsional fretting wear test rig using a simulated physiological medium of serum solution. The treated surfaces were characterized, and the effect of implantation dose on torsional fretting behavior was discussed in detail. The results showed that the torsional fretting running and damage behavior of titanium and its alloys were strongly dependent on the dose of the implanted nitrogen ions and the angular displacement amplitude. The torsional fretting running boundary moved to smaller angular displacement amplitude, and the central light damage zone decreased, as the ion dose increased. The wear mechanisms of titanium and its alloys were oxidative wear, abrasive wear and delamination, with abrasive wear as the most common mechanism of the ion implantation layers.

Influence of oil and water media on fretting behaviour of AISI 52100 steel rubbing against AISI 1045 steel

A series of fretting test were carried out using a DELTA PLINT testing system to study the influence of hydraulic oil and water on fretting behaviour of AISI 52100 steel rubbing against AISI 1045 steel. The test result shows that media hydraulic oil and water have a distinct influence on fretting behaviour of the tested materials. Medium water can lead to shifting of the partial slip regime in the fretting map from a larger displacement amplitude toward a smaller one and enlargement of the mixed slip regime, in comparison with that in ambient atmosphere. While medium hydraulic oil can result in shifting of the partial slip regime from a smaller displacement amplitude toward a larger one. In the gross slip regime, hydraulic oil and water play a positive role as lubrication media. They can clearly decrease the fretting friction coefficient between AISI 52100 and AISI 1045. The test result also demonstrates that this lubrication effect will get better with increasing displacement amplitude and that hydraulic oil is better than water for lubrication. SEM observation of the wear scars displays that the fretting wear mainly results from abrasive wear and delamination of the fretted materials when using these two kinds of substances as lubrication media.

Tribological behavior and wear mechanisms of TiN/TiCN/TiN multilayer coatings

This work employs the PVD process to deposit coatings of single layer TiN, binary layer TiN/TiCN, multilayer TiN⇔⇔N, and sequenced TiN⇔CN⇔N multilayer coatings with variable individual TiN-layer and TiCN-layer thicknesses on tungsten carbide disks and inserts. Also investigated are the fracture mechanisms and the influence of sequence and thickness of these coatings on cylinder-on-disk, line-contact wear mode and ball-on-disk, point-contact wear mode through SRV reciprocating wear tests. Actual milling tests identify wear performance. Experimental results indicate that the coating with a total thickness of 7 Μm and layer sequence TiN/TiCN/TiN exhibits good wear resistance on SRV wear test and milling test. The thickest multilayer TiN/Ti/TiN coating, although having the highest hardness, has the worst wear resistance for all tests. No-tably zero-wear performance was observed for all coating disks under cutting fluid lubricated condition due to the transferred layers formed between the contact interface.
