Metal Liner

The development of a process to emplace a refractory metal liner inside a gun tube is described. The process consists of filling the liner with an elastomeric material and then slipping this arrangement into the gun tube. The ends of the liner are plugged with plastic disks and pressure is applied to the elastomeric material by a load frame. Plastic deformation of the gun tube results in residual radial stresses that induce a frictional bond between the liner and gun tube. Efforts are described to increase the bond strength through increasing the coefficient of friction.

Metal Liner

The development of a process to emplace a refractory metal liner inside a gun tube is described. The process consists of filling the liner with an elastomeric material and then slipping this arrangement into the gun tube whose inner diameter is close to the outer diameter of the liner. The ends of the liner are plugged with plastic disks and pressure is applied to the elastomeric material by a load frame. This pressure can produce a residual internal stress within the steel gun tube that produces a frictional bond between the liner and gun tube. Initial efforts have resulted in bond strengths over 3 ksi (21 MPa). In addition, by tailoring the degree of lubrication between the elastomeric material and the liner, a graded autofrettage can be produced in the steel gun tube.

Lubricated Sliding

Experimental evidence for plowing under dry and lubricated sliding conditions is presented and analytical expressions for the coefficient of friction due to plowing are obtained. The theoretical friction coefficient was found to be a function of the sharpness of the hard asperities, the interfacial “friction” conditions and the shape of the plastic zone. The agreement between theoretical and experimental friction coefficients from lubricated sliding and cutting experiments was remarkably good. The discrepancy between theory and experiment in the case of dry sliding between like metals was shown to be due to plastic deformation of the asperities. Consequently, a different model for plowing was proposed for the case of dry sliding between like metals which produced estimates for the coefficient of friction in fair agreement with the experimental results.

Worn Surface

High-strength boron steels are widely used in manufacturing the auto bodies and parts of light-weight vehicles, but the high rates of surface scratches and die wear have consistently occurred during hot stamping for these steels. For an in-depth understanding of the tribological characteristics at this interface, the frictional contact behavior and thermomechanical mechanisms of boron steel 22MnB5 against die steel H13 at 800 °C were studied through experiments and finite-element simulations. The coefficient of friction and worn surface topography were investigated by pin-on-disk sliding tests. A three-dimensional thermomechanical finite-element model of a friction pair was established to explore the interfacial dynamic variations. Experimental and simulation results show that severe elastic–plastic deformation occurred on the worn surface of the boron steel, whereas an increase in the load decreased the coefficient of friction within a certain range because the growth rate of shear force was slower than that of the normal force. When the finite-element model was changed from the gradual loading stage to the initial sliding stage, the tangential friction force further increased the plastic deformation on the surface of boron steel. The scratches and furrows were mainly caused by the compression and shear from asperities of the rough surface, as confirmed by the high-frictional-stress regions concentrated on the peaks and flanks of asperities. During the high-temperature and high-pressure experiments, the plasticized and softened surface materials of the boron steel adhered to the die surface readily, resulting in peeling and delamination.

The Coefficient Of Friction

The experimental investigation of reciprocating motion between the aluminum doped crumb rubber /epoxy composite and the steel ball has been carried out under Reciprocating Friction Tester, TR-282 to study the wear and coefficient of frictions using different normal loads (0.4Kg, 0.7Kgand1Kg), differentfrequencies (10Hz, 25Hz and 40Hz).The wear is a function of normal load, reciprocating frequency, reciprocating duration and the composition of the material. The percentage of aluminum presents in the composite changesbut the other components remain the same.The four types of composites are fabricated by compression molding process having 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% Al. The effect of different parameters such as normal load, reciprocating frequency and percentage of aluminum has been studied. It is observed that the wear and coefficient of friction is influenced by the parameters. The tendency of wear goes on decreasing with the increase of normal load and it is minimum for a composite having 10%aluminum at a normal load of 0.7Kg and then goes on increasing at higher loads for all types of composite due to the adhesive nature of the composite. The coefficient of friction goes on decreasing with increasing normal loads due to the formation of thin film as an effect of heat generation with normal load.

Tribological properties of engineering components are a key issue due to their effect on the operational performance factors such as wear, surface characteristics, service life and in situ behavior. Thus, for better component quality, process parameters have major importance, especially for metal matrix composites (MMCs), which are a special class of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications including but not limited to structural, automotive and aeronautics. This paper deals with the tribological behavior of Cu-B-CrC composites (Cu-main matrix, B-CrC-reinforcement by 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 wt.%). The tribological characteristics investigated in this study are the coefficient of friction, wear rate and weight loss. For this purpose, four levels of sliding distance (1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 m) and four levels of applied load (10, 15, 20 and 25 N) were used. In addition, two levels of sliding velocity (1 and 1.5 m/s), two levels of sintering time (1 and 2 h) and two sintering temperatures (1000 and 1050 °C) were used. Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array was used to statistically analyze the aforementioned input parameters and to determine their best levels which give the desired values for the analyzed tribological characteristics. The results were analyzed by statistical analysis, optimization and 3D surface plots. Accordingly, it was determined that the most effective factor for wear rate, weight loss and friction coefficients is the contribution rate. According to signal-to-noise ratios, optimum solutions can be sorted as: the highest levels of parameters except for applied load and reinforcement ratio (2500 m, 10 N, 1.5 m/s, 2 h, 1050 °C and 0 wt.%) for wear rate, certain levels of all parameters (1000 m, 10 N, 1.5 m/s, 2 h, 1050 °C and 2.5 wt.%) for weight loss and 1000 m, 15 N, 1 m/s, 1 h, 1000 °C and 0 wt.% for the coefficient of friction. The comprehensive analysis of findings has practical significance and provides valuable information for a composite material from the production phase to the actual working conditions.

In this study, we present the results of Young’s modulus and coefficient of friction (COF) of Ti–Ta surface alloys formed by electron-beam surface alloying by a scanning electron beam. Ta films were deposited on the top of Ti substrates, and the specimens were then electron-beam surface alloyed, where the beam power was varied from 750 to 1750 W. The structure of the samples was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Young’s modulus was studied by a nanoindentation test. The coefficient of friction was studied by a micromechanical wear experiment. It was found that at 750 W, the Ta film remained undissolved on the top of the Ti, and no alloyed zone was observed. By an increase in the beam power to 1250 and 1750 W, a distinguished alloyed zone is formed, where it is much thicker in the case of 1750 W. The structure of the obtained surface alloys is in the form of double-phase α’and β. In both surface alloys formed by a beam power of 1250 and 1750 W, respectively, Young’s modulus decreases about two times due to different reasons: in the case of alloying by 1250 W, the observed drop is attributed to the larger amount of the β phase, while at 1750 W is it due to the weaker binding forces between the atoms. The results obtained for the COF show that the formation of the Ti–Ta surface alloy on the top of Ti substrate leads to a decrease in the coefficient of friction, where the effect is more pronounced in the case of the formation of Ti–Ta surface alloys by a beam power of 1250 W.
