Due to the low density and high temperature resistance, the SiCp/A356 composites have great potential for weight reduction and braking performance using the brake disc used in trains and automobiles. But the friction coefficient and braking performance are not stable in the braking process because of temperature rising. In this paper, friction and wear behaviors of SiCp/A356 composite against semimetallic materials were investigated in a ring-on-disc configuration in the temperature range of 30°C to 300°C. Experiments were conducted at a constant sliding speed of 1.4 m/s and an applied load of 200 N. Worn surface, subsurface, and wear debris were also examined by using SEM and EDS techniques. The third body films (TBFs) lubricated wear transferred to the third body abrasive wear above 200°C, which was a transition temperature. The friction coefficient decreased and weight of semimetallic materials increased with the increase of temperature and the temperature had almost no effect on the weight loss of composites. The dominant wear mechanism of the composites was microploughing and slight adhesion below 200°C, while being controlled by cutting grooves, severe adhesion, and delamination above the 200°C.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the friction and wear properties of Cr-Ni-Mo-V steel against 440C stainless steel under both water and water–silica mixture lubricant. Design/methodology/approach The Cr-Ni-Mo-V steel specimens were taken from a forged steel brake disc with the process of quenching at 900°C and tempering at 600°C. The tribological testing was performed using a contact configuration of ball-on-flat with a liquid cell according to the ASTM standard. Detailed examinations on the worn surface were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. Findings The results indicate that the friction coefficient and friction damage of the steel sliding under water–silica mixture are higher than those under water. The friction coefficient decreases with increasing load and increases with the sliding speed for the two lubricants. The mass wear rate presents a rising trend with both sliding load and speed. The wear mechanisms of the Cr-Ni-Mo-V steel sliding under the two lubricants are oxidation wear, abrasive wear and fatigue wear. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen tribological testing approach, the research results could not describe the tribological performance of the brake disc accurately during actual braking process of the high-speed train. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions further. Originality/value This study shows that the tribology behavior of the Cr-Ni-Mo-V steel with water or water–silica mixture lubrications helps the industrial firms and academicians to work on the wear of the brake disc in rainwater or wet environment.

This paper completes previous studies concerning the mechanisms governing friction and wear of a steel/graphite couple under an external applied magnetic field. Friction tests were performed in a controlled chamber with a magnetised steel pin sliding against a graphite disk exposed to oxygen, argon, and vacuum environments. Wear debris and friction tracks generated by reactions with the gases after sliding, with and without magnetic field, were identified ex situ by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. It shows that the magnetic field modifies the third body behavior which depends on the gases surrounding the contact; this governs the friction state, the type of graphite wear (fatigue or abrasive wear), and the surface reactivity.

Jute fibers reinforced friction materials were prepared by mold and heat treatment. The friction coefficients of 3wt.%,9wt.% and 12wt.% jute fibers reinforced friction materials were bigger than that of the materials without jute fibers in the heating condition. The friction coefficient of 6 wt.% jute fibers reinforced friction materials was bigger than that of the materials without jute fibers below 250°C. The friction coefficient of jute fibers reinforced friction materials deceased with the temperature decrease in the cooling condition. The friction coefficient of the materials with free-jute fibers raised from 350-250°C and reduced at the temperature lower than 250°C.Wear rates of the friction materials raised with temperature rise for jute fibers carbonization led to the matrix became loose. With jute fibers content rise worn surface of the reinforced materials became from smooth to rough. There were pits, grooves, abrasive particles, pulled out fibers and wear debris on the worn surfaces. Abrasive wear was the main wear mechanism.

The grind-hardening technology utilizes the grinding heat to harden the surface of the workpiece. The friction and wear performance of the grind-hardened layer is one of the important parameters. In this paper, the friction and wear performance of the grind-hardened layer was studied by the friction and wear experiment. The wear rate and the friction coefficient of the grind-hardened steel were studied by comparing with conventional hardened steel and non-hardened steel. The surface worn morphology and the collected wear debris of the grind-hardened steel were observed during the experiment. The wear mechanism of the grind-hardened steel was analyzed under different friction conditions.

AbstractDue to their wide range of friction characteristics resulting from the application of different friction materials and good heat dissipation conditions, railway disc brakes have long replaced block brakes in many rail vehicles. A block brake still remains in use, however, in low speed cargo trains. The paper presents the assessment of the braking process through the analysis of vibrations generated by the components of the brake system during braking. It presents a possibility of a wider application of vibroacoustic diagnostics (VA), which aside from the assessment of technical conditions (wear of brake pads) also enables the determination of the changes of the average friction coefficient as a function of the braking onset speed. Vibration signals of XYZ were measured and analyzed. The analysis of the results has shown that there is a relation between the values of the point measures and the wear of the brake pads.

In fretting wear contact, the third body is defined as the wear debris bed between two contacting bodies. The problem of third-body modelling is considered from a point of view of contact mechanics. This paper is restricted to a discussion of recent developments in analytical modelling of fretting wear contact.

The objective of the given work was to investigate abrasive wear behaviours of titanium (Ti) treated by ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) pre-treatment and plasma nitriding (PN). Simulated lunar regolith particles (SLRPs) were employed as abrasive materials during characterization of tribological performances. The experimental results showed that SLRPs cause severe abrasive wear on Ti plasma-nitrided at 750 °C via the mechanism of micro-cutting. Due to the formation of a harder and thicker nitriding layer, the abrasive wear resistance of the Ti plasma-nitrided at 850 °C was enhanced, and its wear mechanism was mainly fatigue. USRP pre-treatment was effective at enhancing the abrasive wear resistance of plasma-nitrided Ti, due to the enhancement of the hardness and thickness of the nitride layer. Nevertheless, SLRPs significantly decreased the friction coefficient of Ti treated by USRP pre-treatment and PN, because the rolling of small granular abrasives impeded the adhesion of the worn surface. Furthermore, USRP pre-treatment also caused the formation of a dimpled surface with a large number of micropores which can hold wear debris during tribo-tests, and finally, polishing and rolling the wear debris resulted in a low friction coefficient (about 0.5).

The friction and wear characteristics of stainless steel diffused with Si-based ceramics were investigated using pin-and-disc configuration under reciprocation motion, rotational motion, and simultaneous motion. The pin material was diffused by the combination of 60% Ti2O3, 30% Al2O3, and 10% Si2O3. Experiments have been carried out both in diffused and non-diffused conditions. Both the friction coefficient and wear rate have been possible to reduce by diffused pin material. The effects of both friction coefficient and wear rate have been studied on ceramics composites at different pin-and-disc motions. Experiments were conducted underpin motions of 0.15–0.25 m/s, disc motions of 0.5–0.6 m/s, and normal loads of 2.5–3.5 N. A relation was found among friction, wear and surface hardness of the composite. The friction coefficient and wear resistance were improved of stainless steel diffused with ceramics. Scanning electron microscopic analysis was performed to observe the morphology of ceramic and pin material.

This paper presents an overview of a discrete element method approach to dry friction in the presence of a third body. Three dimensional computer simulations have been carried out to show the influence of the third body properties (and more specifically their adhesion) on friction coefficient and profiles of dissipated power. Simple interaction laws and a cohesive contact are set up to uncouple the key parameters governing the contact rheology. The model is validated through a global energy balance. As it is shown that dynamic friction coefficient can be explained only in terms of local energy dissipation, this work also emphasizes the fact that mechanism effects and third body rheology have important consequences on the energy generation and dissipation field. Therefore, asymmetries can arise and the surface temperature of first bodies can be significantly different even for the same global friction coefficient value. Such investigations highlight the fact that friction coefficient cannot be considered in the same way at the mechanism scale as at the contact scale where the third body plays a non-negligible role, although it has been neglected for years in thermal approaches to study of surfaces in contact.

The scuffing of friction pair is a common phenomenon in conditions of high speed and pressure. It was researched on scuffing characteristics in this paper. By using UMT-3 friction and wear tester, the friction and wear characteristics of slipper pair material in hydraulic component were investigated, and the friction coeficient-speed curves in the different pressures were got, as well as the wear rate-speed curves. The worn surface morphology of pin specimen was photographed by SEM, and the formation mechanism of the worn surface was analyzed. The results suggested that: friction coefficient and wear rate would have a jump when the scuffing occurred, the friction and wear characteristics would be affected by the interaction of pressure (P) and speed (V) . The PV characteristic restricted the correlation between working pressure and speed.
