Abstract This study used 2-photon 3D lithographic printing and replica molding to fabricate a micro-texture based on the Ocellated Skink. The fabricated surface texture was studied for friction and wear behavior using linear reciprocating tribological tests with a chrome steel ball counterface under various loading conditions and compared to samples fabricated with the same methods without a surface texture. The texture was found to decrease friction at low loads and provide steady friction under all loading conditions. The textured samples also decreased the average wear track width up to 61%. Wear was reduced on surfaces by the texture through the controlled formation of microcracking, which both reduced the amount of debris built up on samples and effectively reduced the worn area.

ABSTRACTPin-on-disk tests were performed for comparative friction and wear behavior on flat and graded profile boron implanted beryllium samples. Peak, intended boron concentrations of 10, 20, 30 and 40 atom percent were investigated. Auger Electron Spectroscopy was used to determine the boron concentration as a function of depth. Preliminary work was performed to study the effects of (1) a low temperature (450°C, 1–1/2 hours) heat treatment of the implanted specimens and (2) a change in the pin material. All of the boron implanted beryllium samples showed significant improvement versus unimplanted beryllium and an anodized beryllium surface. Graded samples showed comparable friction coefficients but inferior wear resistance with respect to the flat profile samples.

(1) In order to improve the properties of antifriction and wear resistance of polyimide (PI) composite under high temperature conditions, (2) 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and Lanthanum (La) salt modifications were employed to manufacture poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole (PBO)/PI composites with different interface properties. The representative ambient temperatures of 130 and 260 °C were chosen to study the friction and wear behavior of composites with different interface properties. (3) Results revealed that while both modification methods can improve the chemical activity of the surface of PBO fibers, the La salt modification is more effective. The friction coefficient of all composites decreases with the increase of sliding velocity and load at two temperatures, and the specific wear rate is increases. Contrary to the situation in the 130 °C environment, the wear resistance of the unmodified composite in the 260 °C environment is greatly affected by the sliding velocity and load, while the modified composites are less affected. Under the same test parameters, the PBO–La/PI composite has the lowest specific wear rate and friction coefficient, and (4) La salt modification is a more effective approach to improve the properties of antifriction and wear resistance of PI composite than APTES modification in high ambient temperatures.

Enhanced corrosion and wear resistance are crucially important to prolong the service life of biomaterials. Boronizing has been reported to enhance the wear resistance of pure chromium. In this research, we investigate friction and wear behavior of boronized chromium. Pin-on-disc tribometer was used to conduct the wear and friction tests. Experiments were conducted in dry conditions as well as in simulated body fluid (SBF). Fundamental aspects of wear mode and lubrication behavior were studied using surface characterization techniques such as TEM, and X-ray diffraction. Results showed evidence of tribo-chemical interactions between SBF and work piece materials.

Different compositions of graphene oxide (GO) and detonation nanodiamond (DND) nanoparticles with API CH-4 engine oil were tested on a reciprocating wear tester at high contact pressure. Significant reductions in friction and wear were observed. Wear surfaces were characterized by a 3D profiler, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to determine the surface topography, film build-up composition, mechanism of nanoadditive-assisted friction reduction and wear reduction characteristics. The wear tests indicated that the original engine liner segments containing surface texture with oil retention potential significantly lose their micropeaks and valleys during the test. Even though the surface texture got disturbed, the presence of nanoadditives in the lubricant led to a reduction in the coefficient of friction. Considerable reduction in the roughness level of the wear track associated with the use of a nanolubricant was also explored through the 3D profiler analysis. The surface roughness of the wear track produced while using a nanolubricant with 0.5 mg/l of detonation nanodiamond nanoparticles was 66% lower than the roughness of the wear track obtained with the base oil. The nanolubricant suspended with 1 mg/l detonation nanodiamond nanoparticles achieved a lower coefficient of friction earlier and a combination of detonation nanodiamond and GO at 0.5 mg/l concentration achieved the lowest coefficient of friction and wear at the end of the test duration.

This study explored the friction and wear behavior of a Ni-based exhaust valve at high temperatures. Nickel-based superalloy was used with two types of processing states: the original forged sample and the sample under the standard T1 heat treatment. At room temperature and a loading force of 10[Formula: see text]N, the average friction coefficient of the T1 heat-treated specimen is 0.61, which was lower than that of the forged sample (0.78). The wear rate of this specimen was also lower than that of the forged sample at the same temperature and loading force. Thus, T1 heat treatment can significantly improve the wear resistance of the alloy because of [Formula: see text] phase and carbides. The wear rate was the minimum at 550∘C and increased again at 750∘C dominated by the formation and flake-off of the oxide film.

Application of powder boronizing to mechanical industry has been restricted because of the brittleness of boronized layer, which inevitably leads to decrease of service life of boronized parts. Therefore, attention should be paid to reducing the brittleness of boronized layer without decreasing its high hardness. In the present paper, a study on the effect of micro-addition rare earth and chrome on friction and wear behavior of boronized layer was carried out using an MM-200 wear test machine. Compared with that of pure single Fe2B phase, the brittleness of the boronized layer containing minim rare earth and chrome elements, obtained by powder RE-chrome-boronizing, is reduced, which results in increasing the bearing capacity and wear resistance of the boronized layer. The friction and wear mechanism is also briefly analyzed.

In this paper, the friction and wear behavior of FKM, NBR and FKM/NBR blends with the same Shore hardness was investigated in the MPV - 600 wear tester under water lubrication based on the actual working parameters of the screw pump. Wear mechanism of FKM/NBR blends with different load was also analyzed according to their wear loss and frictional coefficient. The results showed that the wear resistance of NBR was improved by the addition FKM. FKM/NBR blend with ratio of 2:8 owned the optimal wear resistance, which was close to that of FKM. The wear of FKM and FKM/NBR blend with ratio of 2:8 was controlled by fatigue wear, and the others were mainly controlled by abrasive wear.

The tribological properties of Fe–Cr–B alloys were studied sliding against SiC ball in liquid paraffin oil. The boron played an important role in improving tribological properties of alloys. The friction coefficients of alloys decreased with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. The Fe–Cr–B alloys showed better wear resistance than that of Fe–Cr alloy. Fe-21 wt.% Cr-7 wt.% B alloy had the best tribological properties. The wear mechanism of Fe–Cr alloy was abrasive wear and plastic deformation. The wear mechanism of Fe–Cr–B alloys was microploughing and fatigue flaking pits.
