Sliding Wear Behaviour

Abstract In this study, a pure magnesium material reinforced with 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 weight % of CaO was prepared through disintegrated melt deposition technique. Nanocomposites were investigated for their sliding wear behaviour in dry condition at room temperature. Amount of CaO, Load, sliding distance, and Sliding velocity were selected as input design parameters at their five-level in central composite design using Minitab 18.1 statistical software. The influence of design parameters on wear loss is reported through the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). ANOVA was used to confirm the soundness of the developed regression equation. The results indicate the contribution of linear, quadratic, and interaction terms of design parameters on response. 3D response surface and 2D contour plots are indicated the interaction effect. The result shows that an increase in sliding velocity contributes to a decrease in the wear loss of the composites because of the emergence of protective oxidative layer at the surfaces of the pins, which is confirmed through FESEM and EDAX analysis of the pin surfaces. Wear loss of the material decreased as amount of CaO increased. The ANOVA analysis concluded that the sliding distance and load contribute significantly to wear loss of the composites and their percentage of contribution is 64.02 % and 3.69%.

Sliding Wear Behaviour

The mechanical properties and dry sliding wear behaviour of glass fabric reinforced epoxy (G-E) composite with varying weight percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2) filler have been studied in the present work. The influence of sliding distance, velocity, and applied normal load on dry sliding wear behaviour has been considered using Taguchi's L9orthogonal array. Addition of SiO2increased the density, hardness, flexural, and impact strengths of G-E composite. Results of dry sliding wear tests showed increasing wear volume with increase in sliding distance, load, and sliding velocity for G-E and SiO2filled G-E composites. Taguchi's results indicate that the sliding distance played a significant role followed by applied load, sliding velocity, and SiO2loading. Scanning electron micrographs of the worn surfaces of composite samples at different test parameters show smooth surface, microploughing, and fine grooves under low load and velocity. However, severe damage of matrix with debonding and fiber breakage was seen at high load and velocity especially in unfilled G-E composite.

Functionally graded aluminium LM25/silicon nitride composite was produced through stir casting followed by centrifugal casting and obtained a hollow cylindrical cast component with dimensions of 150 × 150 × 20 mm. The microstructural examination and the hardness test were carried out on the outer (1 mm) and inner surface (17 mm) as the function of radial distance from the outer periphery. The outer surface was observed with particle enriched region compared to inner surface and exhibited higher hardness. Hence the outer surface of the functionally graded composite was only further subjected to sliding wear test in pin-on-disc tribometer. The Central Composite Design in Response Surface Methodology was used to design the experiments for the selected parameters such as load (15–45 N), velocity (0.5–2.5 m/s) and sliding distance (500–2000 m). Regression test and Analysis of Variance were conducted to check the adequacy of the constructed model. The surface plots for wear rate showed that wear rate increased with increase in load and non-linearly varied with increase in velocity and sliding distance. Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis was conducted on the worn-out surfaces and observed mild to severe wear transition on increase of load.

In this work, the dry sliding wear behaviour of recursively friction stir processed AA7075 was investigated using a pin-on-disc wear testing apparatus. The microstructure of the processed specimen was probed using optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Experiments were conducted using Taguchi experimental design by varying three different parameters like load, sliding velocity and sliding distance, and the analysis of variance was performed to identify the influence of the parameters over the wear rate. From the main effect plot, the combination of 9.81 N of load, 2 m/s of sliding velocity and a sliding distance of 2000 m was identified as the optimum levels that minimize the wear rate. The regression model was developed to calculate the wear rate, and the validation test was performed with the optimum parameter combination and compared with the experimental results. Wear tracks were examined using field-emission scanning electron microscopy to identify the type of wear mechanism.

This article aims in exploring the dry sliding wear performances on the aluminum (AA7075) metal matrix composites reinforced with molybdenum disulphide which is a solid lubricant using response surface methodology (RSM). Specific Wear Rate (SWR) for the AA7075 pure alloy, AA7075+2wt% molybdenum disulphide and AA7075+4wt% molybdenum disulphide were measured according to ASTM G99 standards in pin-on-disc apparatus. Design of experiments was selected with changed parameters like the varying percentage of molybdenum disulphide (%), applied load (N), and sliding velocity (m/s) based on Central Composite Design in response surface methodology considering them as continuous factors. Experiments for the specific wear rate of pure alloy and the composites were conducted. The volume loss was measured using the pin-on-disc apparatus from which the specific wear rate value was calculated. The obtained results are analyzed and a mathematical model was formulated using the response surface methodology. The optimum level parameters for the specific wear rate has been identified and the results of the experiment specify that the sliding velocity and molybdenum disulphide percentage have a substantial role in controlling the wear behaviour of composites when compared with the other parameter. The optimum condition for the specific wear rate was identified and experimented with for studying the result.
