Abstract The development of alloys, coatings, surface treatments, and lubricants for improved cylinder liners and rings has historically included friction and wear testing. The correlation of results from motored engines or laboratory-scale tribotests with those from full-scale, fired engines remains a subject of contention. Attempts to develop valid engine wear simulators have met with varying degrees of success. Complexities in understanding and duplicating the relevant contact conditions in fired engines have challenged the designers of sub-scale, simulative laboratory tests. The current paper describes one aspect of this problem; namely, simulating the cylinder bore surface finish for use in bench tests. A rapid method to prepare cast iron test specimens that have similar surface roughness parameters to a production cast iron cylinder liner has been developed. To compare the sliding response of simulated liners with actual liners, cast iron specimens were friction-tested in both new and used 15W40 commercial diesel engine oil, in mineral oil, and without liquid lubrication. A reciprocating, ball-on-flat testing machine was used with test lengths that ranged from 100 to 20,000 cycles. Kinetic friction coefficient data compared favorably between the simulated cylinder liner specimens and actual cylinder liner segments. The friction coefficients obtained in tests with different lubricants on the simulated surfaces were related through a second-degree polynomial to the change in arithmetic average roughness that occurred during running-in. Additional elements of the fired engine environment will be added in the next stages of this research to determine the degree of complexity that is needed to obtain increasingly better simulations.

Influence of frictional wear characteristics of the cast iron-cast iron friction pair were investigated in the Self-repairing Additive with different concentration by using MMU-5G end-face friction and wear testing machine. The capability of generating self-repair coatings on the cast iron tribo-surface was verified in the Self-repairing Additive. The surface images of friction pair and their chemical composition were detected by using SEM and EDS. The result indicates different concentration has a great influence on frictional wear characteristics of friction pair in the Self-repairing Additive. In the self-repairing Additive, the Self-repair coatings are not formed on the cast-iron worn surface; self-repairing Additive has remarkable effect on antifriction and wearing of cast iron.

Chromium Cast Iron

It is studied the carbons abrasive wear property of high vanadium high speed steel compared with that of general high chromium cast iron (Cr20) in this paper. The vanadium content is 10% in the high vanadium high speed steel, and it is a kind of new wear material that has been studied in the past ten years. In the experiment the three materials were used to resist the abrasive wear of Al2O3, the wear test was conducted on a ML-10 abrasive wear-testing machine. The abrasive surfaces, cross-section and sloping -section surfaces were scanned by means of a SEM (JSM-5160LV) device. The typical morphology photos of VC and Cr7C3 were taken in course of abrasive wear, which not only describe the different abrasive wear property of the carbons in the two materials, but also make the cause of the excellent wear property of this HSS clear. The research results have showed that the service lives (V10) are three times longer than that of high chromium cast iron (Cr20). The excellent wear resistance of high vanadium high-speed steel depends on the characters of high hardness, lumpy morphology of VC which are scattered in hard matrix of HSS.

This paper developed a wear testing machine and investigated experimental study of wear among cylinder liner (CL) and piston ring (PR) pair for automobiles. Mahua oil is used as the lubricant between the CL and PR pair. The process parameters are controlled to reduce the weight loss of PR using response surface methodology (RSM). The three process parameters such as applied load, sliding velocity and quantity of oil are considered. It is observed that sliding velocity and applied load are the most influencing parameters whereas the interaction of quantity of oil has less influencing parameter on weight loss of PR. Experimental results are in good compatibility with the values from the theoretical model.

Reciprocating Wear

The aim of this work is to study the wear behavior of the cylinder liner of internalcombustion engines, using reciprocating wear testing machine and study the effect of operating conditions (Rotating speed, length of stroke and normal load) on the wear behavior in dry sliding. A statistical analysis method was applied to study the interaction effect of these parameters, and effect of each parameter. Results obtained showed that the wear characteristics is effected mainly by the normal load (P), and stroke length (L), and the rotating speed (R) has no significant effect on the liner wear. The study also showed an interaction effect of normal load (P), and stroke length (L) together on the wear of the liner.

The influence of frictional wear characteristics were investigated under the Self-repairing Additive condition with different concentration by using MMU-5G end-face friction and wear testing machine. The surface images of friction pair and their chemical composition were detected by using SEM and EDS. The result indicates different concentration has a great influence on frictional wear characteristics of friction pair. The Self-repair coatings are formed on the 45#steel worn surface while nothing on the cast-iron worn surface, study considers that metallographic structure and mechanical performance of cast iron are the prime causation resulting in no Self-repair coatings. Self-repairing Additive of the right concentration has remarkable effect on antifriction and wearing of cast iron.

Bamboo Powder

Thermal flow tests were performed on steamed bamboo powder using capillaries that were processed under different conditions in order to investigate the effect of the die surface state on the fluidity of the woody powder. The capillaries were processed by wire-cut electric discharge machining, reaming or drilling, and the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) varied from 0.5 to 2.5 μm. The bamboo powder was first steamed at 200 °C for 20 min, and its particle size was then controlled using different mesh screens. The thermal flow temperature was set at 200 °C. The results indicated that the flow behavior improved with increasing particle size. For the capillaries processed by WEDM, the flow rate for samples with particle sizes of 75~150 and 150~300 μm decreased with increasing Ra. On the other hand, when reaming or drilling was used to process the capillaries, the flow rate was almost independent of Ra, regardless of the particle size.

Micro Holes

This work is on the preparation of microelectrodes for μ-EDM operation using μ-WEDG process. Electrodes of Ø500 μm are fabricated with various discharge energy machining conditions. Effects of gap voltage, capacitance & feed rate on the surface finish of the electrodes and overcut of the thus produced micro holes are investigated. The profile of microelectrodes is measured using surface roughness tester with 2μm stylus interfaced with SURFPAK software. The study demonstrated that for brass electrodes an arithmetic average roughness value as low as 1.7μm and an overcut of 3 µm could be achieved. The significant machining parameters are found using ANOVA. Surface of the produced microelectrodes are examined using Scanning Electron Microscope. μ-WEDG process parameters could be adjusted to achieve good surface integrity on microelectrodes. Experimental results showed that the surface roughness of microelectrodes depended primarily on feed rate of the electrode. The observations showed the clear and quantitative correlation existing between the micrometer level surface quality and process parameters. The resulting microelectrodes are found to be of exceptionally high quality and could be used for μ- EDM operation on different types of work materials.
