Friction and wear properties of pitch／resin densified carbon—carbon composites used for airbrakes

By use of X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscope(SEM),the friction and wear results obtained from MM-1000 dynamometer tests of CVI pitch/resin C/C composites were analyzed.By investigating the factors that affected the friction and wear properties,such as matrix carbon,applcation environment,graphitization degree and brake pressure,etc,friction and wear mechanism of carbon materials were probed.The results indicate that pitch densified CVI initially treated composite is more graphitizable with its graphitization degree up 59 62%,and which results in uniform small debris easier to generate,more smooth friction curves with the coefficient of 0.3-0.4 and relatively higher wear and mass loss,compared with CVI/resin C/C composites.It was further proved by SEM observation that tribological behavior of C/C composite was system dependent.Factors determining the friction and wear properties such as the size of debris and its influence on friction and wear,brake pressure,graphization degree and debris bilm formation interacted and affected each other.The friction and wear mechanism of C/C composites under different high temperature treatments needs further research.     

A study on the wear behavior of hardened medium carbon steel

It is well known that the mechanical properties such as strength and hardness of structural steel are usually enhanced by the martensite-phase transformation method. In many industrial applications, hardness has always been used as an index to reflect the wear-resistance performance. As a result, steel is quenched to a large extent in order to increase the hardness and wear-resistance performance. In general, from the wear mechanism, no exact relationship between the hardness and wear resistance of materials can be formulated. Also there are few conclusive studies on the effects of running procedures on wear-resistance performance. Therefore, the friction behavior of S45C carbon steel with and without a quenching process was evaluated by a rotating tribometer under various test conditions. The experimental results show that the running conditions cause a great influence on the wear-resistance performance of the materials. Under low speed and light apparent pressure conditions, the quenched specimens have high wear-resistance performance. Contrarily, at high speed and heavy loading, the wear-resistance performance of hardened specimens decreases due to tempering effects at the rubbing surface when the contact temperature becomes increased. Therefore, this causes more severe wear to the hardened specimens than to the unhardened specimens.     

High-speed milling of titanium alloys using binderless CBN tools

The performance of conventional tools is poor when used to machine titanium alloys. In this paper, a new tool material, which is binderless cubic boron nitride (BCBN), is used for high-speed milling of a widely used titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V. The performance and the wear mechanism of the BCBN tool have been investigated when slot milling the titanium alloy in terms of cutting forces, tool life and wear mechanism. This type of tool manifests longer tool life at high cutting speeds. Observations based on the SEM and EDX suggest that adhesion of workpiece and attrition are the main wear mechanisms of the BCBN tool when used in high-speed milling of Ti–6Al–4V.

Characterization and wear behavior of modified silicon nitride

Silicon nitride-based materials are applied to many tribological components because of their superior thermal and mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the wear performance of modified silicon nitride which contained 3 wt.% La₂O₃ and 3 wt.% Y₂O₃. The relationships between microstructure and mechanical properties have been also addressed. Vickers microhardness and toughness were measured, the later being determined by means of the direct crack measurement method (DCM). Scanning electron microscopy technique (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used for the morphological characterization of the samples as well as for the characterization of the wear scars. Wear properties were studied under a load of 10 N by using the ball-on-disk tribometer. AISI 52100 steel balls and balls of WC + 6% Co (6 mm diameter) were used as static counterparts, respectively. Steady state friction coefficients of 0.66 and 0.62 were measured for the tribological pairs WC + 6 % Co/Si₃N₄ and AISI 52100/Si₃N₄, respectively. The wear mechanism was determined in each case, and comparison between the wear performance of the traditional and modified silicon nitride is also presented.

Wear resistance of ceramic coating on AZ91 magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation

The ceramic coating formed on AZ91 magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation （MAO） was characterized. The results show that the ceramic coating （3.4-23 μm in thickness）on the surface ofAZ91 alloy was attained under different micro-arc oxidation treatment conditions, which consist mainly of MgO, Mg2SiO4 and MgSiO3 phases. Nano-hardness in a cross-sectional specimen was determined by nano-indentation experiment. The MAO coatings exhibit higher hardness than the substrate. Dry sliding wear tests for the MAO coatings and AZ91 alloy were also carded out using an oscillating friction and wear tester in a ball-on-disc contact configuration. The wear resistance of the MAO coatings is improved respectively under different treatment time as a result of different structures of ceramic coatings formed on AZ91 alloy.
