Friction and Wear Characteristics of BaCr2O4 Ceramics at Elevated Temperatures in Sliding Against Sintered Alumina Ball

In this article, friction and wear characteristics of BaCr₂O₄ ceramics have been investigated using a high-temperature friction and wear tester from room temperature to 800?°C in dry sliding against sintered alumina ball. At room temperature, the friction coefficient and wear rate of BaCr₂O₄ ceramics are quite high. BaCr₂O₄ ceramics exhibit low friction coefficients and small wear rates with temperature increasing up to 400?C600?°C. The oxidation reaction of BaCr₂O₄ during high-temperature wear tests is responsible for the tribological properties. The oxidized product of BaCr₂O₄ is BaCrO₄, which forms a smooth self-lubricating film on the worn surface to effectively reduce friction and wear. However, at 800?°C, severe oxidation reduces the relative density of sintered BaCr₂O₄ ceramics, and further expedites the materials removal process.     

Tribological Characteristics of Binder Resins for Brake Friction Materials at Elevated Temperatures

The heat resistance of the multiphase friction materials made with straight phenolic resin (ST), boron–phosphorous (B–P)-modified phenolic resin (BP), or polyimide (PI) was investigated using a Krauss-type friction tester. Thermal analysis of the cured resins was also carried out to examine the chemical and mechanical properties of the resin and their effects on the wear rate and the coefficient of friction. The results showed that the fade and wear of the friction materials were closely related to the thermal decomposition of the binder resin and durability of the contact plateaus, which were produced by the compaction of wear debris around hard ingredients on the rubbing surface. The friction material containing the B–P modified resin was more resistant to wear and fade than the other binder resins. On the other hand, the friction material with polyimide showed good fade resistance but exhibited excessive wear despite its good thermal resistance.     

Characteristics of the Friction Between Aluminium and Steel at Elevated Temperatures During Ball-on-Disc Tests

Appropriate specification of the frictional boundary condition for the finite-element (FE) simulation of metal-forming processes is of great importance to the trustworthiness of the results. The research reported in this communication aimed at understanding the interfacial contact between aluminium and steel at elevated temperatures and determining friction coefficients at this material mating. A series of high-temperature ball-on-disc tests were carried out with the AA7475 aluminium alloy as the material of disc and the hardened H11 steel as the material of ball. A mathematical model developed in the preceding research was employed to account for the evolution of the contact interface during ball-on-disc tests. Friction coefficients at different temperatures and over a number of laps were determined. The shear friction stresses and mean contact pressures along with the progress of the tests at 350–500 °C were calculated. It was found that the friction coefficients obtained from ball-on-disc tests alone were insufficient to represent the frictional interaction between deforming aluminium and steel at elevated temperatures. The evolution of the contact interface with increasing sliding distance must be taken into consideration and the friction behaviour can be reasonably characterized by using friction stress.     

Wear Mechanisms at High Temperatures. Part 1: Wear Mechanisms of Different Fe-Based Alloys at Elevated Temperatures

To extend the lifetime of the sinter grate used to crush the sinter cake into smaller pieces for steel fabrication, a study was undertaken to investigate which wear processes are primarily responsible for limiting the lifetime of the sinter grate. Several wear processes could be identified. The sinter temperature which is up to 800 °C causes temperature-induced material ageing and oxidation. The falling of the sinter cake onto the sinter grate causes high impacts, erosion and abrasive wear. There is enormous economic pressure, which makes the most cost-efficient solution the most attractive one, not the technically “best” coating material; thus, Fe–Cr–C hardfacing alloys are mostly used. In view of the above, four different alloys which are promising for this application were studied with regard to their wear resistance. Each wear mechanism was investigated in a special test tribometer. Fatigue wear caused by multiple impacts and abrasion was tested in the high-temperature continuous impact abrasion test. Materials behaviour in heavy single impacts was evaluated in the single impact test. Characterisation of microstructure and wear behaviour was performed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained with the help of the different measurement techniques were linked and set into comparison to calculate the volumetric wear of the specimen. Aim of this work was to investigate the influence of the material parameters such as macrohardness, hard phase content, microstructure coarseness on the wear resistance in impact loading and abrasive applications at high temperatures. Results also indicate that the matrix ability to bind carbides at high temperature as well as the matrix hardness at high temperatures strongly influence the wear resistance in the different tests. Those material parameters get correlated to the wear rates in different material demands. The test results indicate that at higher temperatures material fatigue becomes a major wear-determining factor which makes the matrix hardness and the matrix ability to bind carbides at high temperatures very important. Especially, in abrasive wear, a certain content of hard phases is also necessary to keep the wear to a lower level. It could also be shown that in impact loading applications, a coarse microstructure is a disadvantage.     

Wear and Friction of TiAl Matrix Self-Lubricating Composites against Si3N4 in Air at Room and Elevated Temperatures

More durable, low-friction bearing materials over a wide temperature range are needed for turbine components and other high-temperature bearing applications. The current study reported the tribological properties of TiAl matrix self-lubricating composites (TMC) containing MoS₂ (a low-temperature lubricant, below 500°C), hBN (a medium-temperature lubricant, below 600°C), and Ti₃SiC₂ (a high-temperature lubricant, above 600°C) designated as MhT against an Si₃N₄ counterface at temperatures ranging from 25 to 800°C in air. The load was 10 N and the sliding speed was 0.2 m/s for all tests. Tribological studies indicated that TMC containing MhT showed a lower friction coefficient and wear rate in comparison to TiAl-based alloy at all test temperatures, which was attributed to the excellent synergetic lubricating effect of MoS₂, hBN, and Ti₃SiC₂. TMC containing 5 wt% MhT exhibited the best tribological properties over a wide temperature range.     

Impact Abrasive Wear Response of Carbon/Carbon Composites at Elevated Temperatures

Three types of carbon/carbon composites were fabricated using pitch as matrix material. Performance of these composites was evaluated under continuous impact abrasion tests (CIAT). Towards this purpose, a novel testing equipment was designed and developed at AC²T. Tests were carried out at room temperature and 500 °C. The angle of impact was chosen to be 45° and 90°. Analysis of tribological performance was carried out by mass loss. Characterization of the worn surface was done by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical 3D profilometry. In this work, it was shown that wear rates are higher for 45° impact angle compared to 90° for all composites investigated. Fibre debonding and fibre pull out was observed to be the dominating wear mechanisms for these composites during CIAT procedure under normal impact abrasion. Removal of chunk of material contributes to wear under oblique impact abrasion.

The Effects of Elevated Ambient Temperatures on the Friction and Wear Behavior of Some Commercial Nickel Base Alloys

Measurements of friction and wear during sliding of specimens of Nimonic 75, C263, Nimonic 108 and Incoloy 901 on like specimens in air at temperatures from 20 to 800 C are presented. Under the sliding conditions used, all the alloys show a transition temperature, above which low wear and a low coefficient of friction during sliding are observed after a time and below which these parameters remain relatively high throughout. These temperatures are about 150 C for N75, about 200 C for C263 and N108 and between 200 and 300 for Incoloy 901. At given temperatures above the transition temperatures, the coefficient of friction-time loci show sharp, generally very reproducible, changes from relatively high to low coefficients of friction. The times at which these occur decrease with increasing temperature for a given alloy. Such changes can be closely correlated to the formation of a stable, adherent, thermally softened, oxide layer or glaze on the load-bearing areas during sliding. Once the glaze is established, very little further wear takes place. These tribological properties of the glaze are associated with its low shear strength and the high strength of the underlying alloy substrate. They depend more on its physical properties than on its precise chemical composition. It is concluded that high strength, relatively rapid transient oxidation rates, and appropriate physical properties of the resulting oxide films are important qualities in alloys employed under sliding conditions in air at elevated temperatures.

Tribological Properties of Adaptive Ni-Based Composites with Addition of Lubricious Ag2MoO4 at Elevated Temperatures

The Ni-based self-lubricating composites with addition of 10 and 20?wt% Ag₂MoO₄ were fabricated by powder metallurgy technique, and the effect of Ag₂MoO₄ on tribological properties was investigated from room temperature to 700?°C. The tribo-chemical reaction films formed on rubbing surface and their effects on the tribological properties of composites at different temperatures were addressed according to the surface characterization by SEM and Micro-Raman. The results show that the Ag₂MoO₄ decomposed into Ag and Mo during the high-temperature fabrication process. The friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites decrease with the increasing of temperature and Ag₂MoO₄ contents and the composites with addition of 20?wt% Ag₂MoO₄ exhibits the lowest friction coefficient (0.26) and wear rate (1.02?×?10^?5?mm³?N^?1?m^?1) at 700?°C. The composition of the tribo-layers on the worn surfaces of the composites is varied at different temperatures. It is proposed that the improving of tribological properties of the composites at high temperatures are attributed to the synergistic lubricating effect of silver molybdate (reproduced in the rubbing process at high temperatures) and Fe oxide (transfer from disk material to the pin) formed on the worn surface.     

Friction and Wear Properties of MoS<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Overcoated Laser Surface-Textured Silver-Containing Nickel-Based Alloy at Elevated Temperatures

The solid lubricant that is coated on a flat surface is easily removed during friction. Surface texture dimples, which act as reservoirs of solid lubricant, can prolong the wear life of solid lubricant films. We textured silver-containing nickel-based alloys by a pulse laser and filled the micro-dimples with molybdenum disulfide powders. The tribological properties of the alloys were tested by rubbing against alloyed steel on a ring-on-disk tribometer at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600°C . After laser surface texturing, the friction coefficients of the silver-containing nickel-based alloy smeared with molybdenum disulfide powders were reduced at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400°C. With increasing dimple density, the wear life of the MoS₂ film increased while the wear rate of the nickel-based alloy decreased. The wear life of the textured surface with a dimple density of 11.2% exceeded 10,000 m at room temperature. We conclude that molybdenum disulfide and its oxides stored in the micro-dimples play a role in lubrication at room temperature and high temperatures, respectively.

Friction and Wear at High Sliding Speeds

Sliding tests have been carried out using a variety of soft metal and nonmetal pins on a rotating steel disk at speeds up to 150 m/s. A new high-speed friction apparatus in which the normal force, the friction force and the friction coefficient are recorded, was used. In general, the wear rate increased drastically, and the friction coefficient decreased moderately as the sliding speed was raised, these changes being especially pronounced when pin materials of low melting temperature were used. The friction data are in good agreement with those obtained by others using the pin-on-disk geometry. However, although in many cases the interface reached the melting temperature of the lower melting sliding material, the very low friction coefficient values of under 0.05 reported by some investigators were not reached.     

Lubrication by Low-Melting-Point Metals at Elevated Temperatures

Measurements of the friction coefficient as a function of temperature, have been carried out using surfaces of stainless steel covered by lead, tin, zinc, cadmium, and Wood's metal applied in powder form. Sonic work has also been done with a few other metal and nonmetal surfaces. In cases where the interaction between the low melting substance and sliding surfaces is high, as revealed by the occurrence of wetting, the friction reaches a peak just below the melting temperature of the substance, and then drops to considerably lower values just above the melting point. The peak below the melting temperature is associated with the formation of large adhering fragments of the low melting substance on the sliding surface. When there is no wetting, the low-melting substance has, either below or above its melting point, essentially no effect on the friction.
