The dispenser ejects the ceramic filler and phosphor-containing liquid for making various products. When the particle-containing liquid is ejected under high-velocity conditions, however, the ejection reliability decreases because of the wear of the contact surface between the rod and nozzle even though these components are made of hard materials. It is therefore necessary to characterize the friction and wear properties of the hard materials, tungsten carbide (WC) and zirconium (Zr), with the high-viscosity liquid-containing nitride or yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) particles under reciprocating conditions. Particle contents of 15 wt.% and 30 wt.% are added to the liquid. A reciprocating test was implemented to this end, and WC and Zr specimens were used. The liquid used in the experiment contains nitride and YAG. The experimental results show that the particles inside the liquid are worn out, leading to particle lubrication and the decrease in the coefficient of friction. Also, it is confirmed that the more the particles are, the less the coefficient of friction is due to particle lubrication. For each experimental condition, the coefficient of friction is measured and compared. Moreover, the contact surface of the specimen is analyzed using an electron microscope, and a profilometer is used to measure the surface roughness of the specimen before and after the test. The reciprocation friction and wear characteristics of WC and Zr with phosphor-containing liquid are evaluated by analyzing the experimental results.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to carry out research on friction and wear behavior of pin-bushing with magnetorheological fluids (MRFs). Design/methodology/approach The oscillation friction characteristics of MRFs with a magnetic field are evaluated by a pin-bushing friction wear tester. The housing is adjusted to apply the magnetic field to MRFs. Experiments are carried out with and without a magnetic field, and the coefficient of friction and temperature on the contact interface are measured. The surfaces of the pin and bushing are also examined by a surface profilometer and an optical microscope before and after tests. The experiment results show a lower coefficient of friction is observed when a magnetic field is applied. Findings The temperature is lowest when grease is used. The case when a magnetic field is present shows the higher temperature. The coefficient of friction is higher than grease lubrication when an MRF is applied. The coefficient of friction of the pin-bushing is lowest with grease and highest when a magnetic field is present. The friction coefficient of grease and MRFs decreases as the load increases and remains stable after 3 kN is added. The roughness, surface profile and morphology of the pin show the best results when grease is used as compared with MRFs. Originality/value The tribology characteristic of pin-bushing with MRFs shows more deficiency than that with grease. Nevertheless, it is necessary to carry out the research on the friction and wear characteristics of a pin-bushing with MRFs, as it is expected to increase the load-carrying capacity when an MRF is applied to the pin-bush system. Better friction and wear characteristics could be achieved by enhancing the property of MRFs.

The effects of phosphorus on the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-5 at. percent Sn-P alloys containing 1–5 at. percent P were studied using a pin on disc apparatus. The results showed that the decrease in both the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear became conspicuous with the increase in quantity of Cu3P coexisting in the matrix; its amount increases with the content of phosphorus. The structural changes in the surface of the specimen due to heating in a vacuum were observed by using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was seen that the surface concentration of phosphorus strongly increased after heating at 573K, whereas the diffusion of tin atoms was markedly retarded. It was concluded from these results that the behavior of phosphorus atoms in the surface during sliding played an important role in the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-Sn-P alloys.

Pin-on-disk unidirectional sliding friction and wear experiments for an aluminum alloy impregnated carbon composite in contact with a bearing steel were carried out at various levels of contact load in wet and dry air. The aluminum alloy impregnated carbon composite exhibits better friction and wear characteristics than the matrix materials, aluminum alloy and graphite in wet air. The coefficient of friction and wear rate decrease, especially at high loads in wet air. Graphite, together with metallic and oxidative wear particles, adheres to the disk sliding surface of the bearing steel, resulting in the formation of compacted, uniform surface films. The films prevent metal-to-metal contact, achieving a good sliding friction and wear condition.

Owing to the superior properties of stainless steel it is pertinent to make use of it in various applications of automotive, aerospace, nuclear, chemical and cryogenic products. This paper describes a study of friction characteristics of SUS304 and SUS630 stainless steel disk specimens against silicon nitride Si3N4 ball in dry, grease-, and oil-lubricated conditions and wear characteristics in dry condition in sliding contact. The ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technology was applied to those disk specimens and its friction and wear properties were compared with polished one. The experiment was conducted with a pin-on-disk tribo tester using ball-on-disk contact geometry at room temperature. The experiment results show that in dry, greased- and oil-lubrication conditions the coefficient of friction of UNSM-treated specimens was lower and constant than polished specimens and in dry condition the wear rate was also smaller than polished one. Micro dimples made by UNSM treatment contribute those effects.

The friction and wear of the silicon carbide (SiC) and hot pressed silicon nitride (Si3N4) against zirconia (Y–TZP) sliding under dry friction and room temperature conditions were investigated with pin-on-disk tribometer at sliding speed of 0.56 m·s-1 and normal load of 50 N, 80 N and 120 N, respectively. It was found that, the coefficient of friction and wear rate are dependent on the test duration as well as the normal load. Through analyzing and comparing, the wear rates of the two frictional couples both are in the 10-6 mm3 (N·m)-1. Based on the variety regulation of the wear maps, the wear mechanisms of the two couples were analyzed. Between the two couples, the friction and wear characteristics of the SiC/ZrO2 couple are better than the Si3N4/ZrO2 couple’s.

Modeling of dry sliding friction and wear behavior of Ti3Al2.5V alloy sliding against EN31 steel using a multi-tribotester has been presented. Mathematical model equations in the form of natural log transformation for wear rate (WR), average coefficient of friction (μa), and a square root transformation for maximum contact temperature (Tm) considering the effect of tribological variables have been developed and validated by comparing them with the experimental results. The authors claim novelty with regard to modeling and optimization of friction and wear characteristics of Ti-3Al2.5V alloy. The results reveal that the magnitude of wear rate and maximum contact temperature increases with increase in sliding velocity and increasing normal load with few exceptions. Whereas average coefficient of friction first increases with increasing sliding velocity up to 2.51 m/s, and then decreases at highest sliding velocity. The load is found to have strongest influence on both wear rate and average coefficient of friction followed by sliding velocity, whereas sliding velocity has strongest influence on the maximum contact temperature followed by load. The perturbation plot results are also in accordance with the analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis. The theoretical and experimental results have an average error of 5.06%, 1.78%, and 1.42%, respectively, for wear rate, average coefficient of friction, and maximum contact temperature. Optimization resulted in a maximum desirability of 0.508 at a load of 60 N and a sliding velocity of 1.5 m/s. For these values, the predicted minimum wear rate is 0.0001144 g/m, the coefficient of friction is 0.3181, and the tool-tip temperature is 59.03 °C.

An investigation was conducted to determine the friction and wear characteristics of hot-pressed silicon nitride. Sliding produced wear debris and a damaged surface. The physical and crystallographic morphology of surfaces was compared with that of diamond ground surfaces. Wear tests were done with pin-on-disk apparatus at a load of 10N with various sliding speeds to 780 mm/s, and in four different environments which included in dry nitrogen, in air at humidities of 50 percent RH and 90 percent RH, and in distilled water. The results of the wear experiments indicated that residual α-silicon nitride was transformed into β-silicon nitride. Adsorbed water appeared to enhance plastic flow of the surface and reduced both the wear rate and friction. A second investigation was conducted to correlate the coefficient of friction with the fracture toughness of silicon nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide. The friction experiments were done in reciprocating sliding, using spherical diamonds. Two tip radii, 0.005 mm and 0.1 mm were used over a range of load of 0.1 to 3N and a speed of 0.17 mm/s. The coefficient of friction was found to be inversely correlated with fracture toughness of all four ceramics in several conditions. Frictional anisotropy was also observed in the hot-pressed silicon nitride.

The friction and wear characteristics of spike-tooth material (65Mn steel) of Spike-Tooth Harrow in a two-stage peanut harvester were studied in this paper. The friction and wear tests of pin and disc on 65 manganese steel were carried out on the tribometer, then the wear loss and the friction coefficient were studied. The wear loss of the pin was acquired by calculating the mass of the pin before and after the experiment using an electronic balance. According to the actual working environment of peanut spring-finger, four variable parameters are set up: load, speed, soil moisture and soil type. The friction and wear characteristics of pins were studied under different loads, speeds and different soil environments. After wearing, the worn surface of the material was observed by scanning microscope and the wear mechanism was studied. The experimental results show that the wear of the pin increases with the increase of load and decreases with the increase of rotational speed in the same rotation number. Especially in the case of the sandy soil with 20% in moisture, a maximum wear loss of the pin is achieved.
