Abstract Reduction in wear of artificial bio-implants results in the release of a lesser amount of wear particles into the blood stream. This paper focuses on analyzing the tribological behavior of ceramic and polyethylene bio-materials experimentally. Four different biomaterials namely Zirconia, Silicon Nitride, UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) and PEEK (polyether ether ketone) are investigated for friction and wear coefficients using a pin on disc (PoD) tribometer. Alumina (Al2O3) is chosen as the disc material. Polyethylene based UHMWPE and PEEK are used as a pin material with the hemispherical end, while, Zirconia and Silicon Nitride ceramic materials are used in the form of spherical ball. 0.9 % NaCl (saline solution) is used as a lubricant medium. Zirconia showed a better reduction in friction and wear coefficient characteristics under lubrication conditions when compared with polyethylene and other ceramic materials. The estimated friction and wear coefficients would be helpful for surgeons and academicians to choose better wear-resistant bio-compatible materials for effectively design hip prosthesis. The present study compared the tribological behaviors of ceramic materials Si3N4 and ZrO2 and polyethylene materials PEEK and UHMWPE with a ceramic counterpart Al2O3 disc. In the lubrication case, ZrO2 showed a better reduction in friction and wear characteristics while in the dry case UHMWPE showed lesser wear characteristics.

Friction and wear tests of stainless steel rubbing against copper-impregnated metalized carbon with electric current were carried on the pin-on-disc tester. The result indicates that arc discharge occurs in the process of experiments, and the intensity of arc discharge of interface increases with increasing of electric current and sliding velocity. As increasing of the arc discharge intensity, friction coefficient shows a tendency of slightly increase. While the rate of copper-impregnated metalized carbon material increase significantly with the increase of arc discharge intensity. Through observing the worn surface morphology of pin samples, it is found that the abrasive wear is dominant at small arc discharge due to worn particles and arc ablation craters, but arc erosion and oxidation wear are the main wear mechanisms in condition of large arc discharge due to arc discharge and its producing high temperature. The materials transfer of contact couple occurs in the process of friction and wear.

The pin-on-disc dry sliding friction and wear experiments have been made on 42CrMo4 steel in contact with Si3N4, SiC, WC, Al2O3, and ZrO2 ceramic balls. The tests were carried out at sliding speeds of 0.16 m/s, 0.24 m/s, and 0.32 m/s. During the tests, the friction force was monitored as a function of time. Discs and balls wear was measured after the tests using a white light interferometer Talysurf CCI Lite and Altisurf 520 optical profilometer with a CL1 confocal probe. To decrease variations in the experimental results, during the tests, wear debris was continuously removed from the disc surfaces. It was found out that with Al2O3 counterpart the wear volume of the steel discs was the largest. However, the largest wear volume of the balls was observed for Si3N4 ceramic balls.

AbstractIn this study, the influence of micro- and nanofiller contents on the tribological performance of epoxy composites was studied. The fillers are micro-Al2O3, micro-TiO2, and micro-fly ash and nano-Al2O3, nano-TiO2, and nanoclay fillers. The microfillers were added to the epoxy by 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight. The nanofillers were added to the epoxy by 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. Friction and wear tests were conducted using the pin-on-disc arrangement. Tribo elements consisted of polymer pin and DIN 1.2344 steel counterface disc. A load value of 15 N, a sliding speed of 0.4 m/s, a sliding distance of 2000 m, and dry atmospheric conditions were applied to test conditions. The results show that the friction coefficients and the specific wear rates of the nanofilled composites increase as the filler content increases. For microfiller-filled epoxy composites, these values decrease as filler content increases. The tribological performance of epoxy composites is enhanced by the addition of microfillers, and the higher enhancement is reached with the addition of 30% fly ash filler. Finally, the pin and disc worn surface images show the presence of adhesive and some abrasive wear mechanisms.

In recent years, both industrial and academic world are focussing their attention towards the development of sustainable composites, reinforced with fibres. In particular, among the fibres that can be used as reinforcement, the uniaxial glass fiber ones represent the most interesting for their properties. The aim of this work is to illustrate the results of friction and wear behaviour of uniaxial glass fibers with silicon carbide, aluminium oxide and graphite as the fillers. Moreover, its main manufacturing technologies have been described. The major component of these hybrid composite is uniaxial glass fibre with Epoxy LY556 (Resin). Hardener HY951 is used for hardening and support. Resin + Hardener are mixed in the ratio 10:1 and the mixture made up is called Matrix. Test materials of glass Fibre with varying compositions of 15% Al2O3 + SiC and glass fibre with varying compositions of 15% Graphite + SiC have been prepared by applying the matrix on glass cloth which is wrapped around the mandrel. The samples were tested in a pin-on-disc machine to determine the friction and wear losses. Further, the samples were tested on a pin-on-disc machine and frictional characteristics were monitored by varying speed and loads. Thus, the friction and wear characteristics have also been found out for the two specimens. From the experimental test results, it is observed that Al2O3 +Sic exihibits lower wear loss than SiC + Graphite under dry sliding conditions. Based on the observations, this hybrid composite are recommended to the manufacturing of the aircraft structures.

Some tribological properties of an ionic liquid were investigated by using a pin-on-disc friction and wear tester. Due to running-in, the coefficient of friction of the ionic liquid decreased with time to a very low value of 0.02 which suggests that the lubrication regime was hydrodynamic at the end of the tests. Anti-wear performance of the ionic liquid was substantially comparable to a paraffin-based oil.

The friction and wear tests on AISI 1040 are carried out under raw, modified versions of two nonedible vegetable oils Pongam (Pongamia pinnata) and Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) and also commercially available mineral oil using a pin-on-disc tribometer for various sliding distances and loads. A significant drop in friction and wear for AISI 1040 is observed under Pongam and Jatropha raw oil compared to mineral oil, for the complete tested sliding distance and load, increasing the potential of vegetable oil for tribological applications. Stribeck curves are also drawn to understand the regimes of lubrication. Both the vegetable oils showed a clear reduction in the boundary lubrication regimes, leading to an early start of full film lubrication.

As the industrial community moves towards green manufacturing processes, there is an increased demand for multi-functional, environmentally friendly lubricants with enhanced tribological performance. In the present investigation, green (environmentally benign) lubricant combinations were prepared by homogeneously mixing nano- (20 nm), sub-micrometre- (600 nm average size) and micrometre-scale (4 μm average size) boric acid powder additives with canola oil in a vortex generator. As a basis for comparison, lubricants of base canola oil and canola oil mixed with MoS 2 powder (ranging from 0.5 to 10 μm) were also prepared. Friction and wear experiments were carried out on the prepared lubricants using a pin-on-disc apparatus under ambient conditions. Based on the experiments, the nanoscale (20 nm) particle boric acid additive lubricants significantly outperformed all of the other lubricants with respect to frictional and wear performance. In fact, the nanoscale boric acid powder-based lubricants exhibited a wear rate more than an order of magnitude lower than the MoS 2 and larger sized boric acid additive-based lubricants. It was also discovered that the oil mixed with a combination of sub-micrometre- and micrometre-scale boric acid powder additives exhibited better friction and wear performance than the canola oil mixed with sub-micrometre- or micrometre-scale boric acid additives alone.

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.
