In order to reduce wear and design high-performance spline coupling, the friction coefficient, wear coefficient, and wear depth of 14 groups of material specimens were tested using multifunctional friction and wear tester. The effect of materials, loads, rotation speed, and surface treatment on friction coefficient, wear coefficient, and wear depth was investigated. A method using an Archard’s equation based on the finite element method to calculate the wear depth of 14 groups of material specimens was proposed, and the results were consistent with the experimental results. Then, the wear of a floating involute spline coupling of aero-engine was predicted using this method. It can be concluded that carburizing and silvering can decrease the friction coefficient. The wear and wear coefficient decreased after carburizing. So, it is necessary to take 18CrNi4A with carburization and 32Cr3MoVA with nitridation as the material of the spline coupling in aero-engine to minimize wear. Furthermore, the method presented to predicate the wear of spline coupling in this work provided a good fundament for the fatigue prediction methodology of spline coupling.

AbstractHigh-performance engineering polymers are a potential frictional material candidate for mechanical systems with moving parts, especially at high load and speed conditions. In this study, reciprocating friction and wear of aramid fibers/polyimide composites filled with graphite, MoS2or Polytetrafluoroethylene, respectively, were systematically investigated on a Pin-on-Flat test rig. The experimental setup was simplified into friction materials reciprocating against a phosphor bronze pin to simulate the rotor/stator contact state in ultrasonic motors. A comparative study on friction reduction and wear resistance of polyimide composites indicated that graphite showed the best lubricity with low friction coefficient and wear rate. Experimental results of pressure time average velocity measurements showed that frequencies ranging from 3 to 11 Hz played a significant role on the friction coefficient variations of these porous polyimide composites, whereas increasing pressure from 4 to 6 MPa had little effect on friction reduction. Then, the microstructure of the worn surface of the three different materials was observed by scanning electron microscope to reveal the wear mechanisms. This study is expected to provide a good guidance for porous polyimide composites application in ultrasonic motors.

Abstract In the field of mold manufacturing, the wear resistance of the mold is a key factor affecting the life of the mold. In order to extend the life of the mold, most scholars have invested a lot of research on the surface texture of the mold. This article mainly analyzes the influence of the texture angle of different milling topography on the wear resistance of the mold. First, we studied the formation process of the milling topography, and distinguished the quadrilateral pit topography and the hexagonal pit topography by defining the texture angle. Secondly, we carried out a wear simulation analysis on the slider with a texture angle, and studied the influence of different topography on the wear depth and stress distribution. Finally, with the help of friction and wear experiments, the wear amount of the slider with different texture angles is tested, and the relationship between the texture angle, the wear quality and the friction coefficient is analyzed. The conclusions obtained provide an effective reference for industrial designers to prepare wear-resistant molds.

The friction and wear behavior of dental ceramics (Vita VMK95) against uniform Si3N4 balls has been investigated using a small amplitude reciprocating apparatus under simulated oral conditions. The variables of ball radii (2mm, 6 mm, 13mm, and 21mm), load (10N, 20N, 30N, and 40N), reciprocating amplitude (200(m), frequency (2Hz) and use of artificial saliva lubrication or no lubrication were selected. Tests lasting up to 10,000 cycles were conducted. The wear scars of the samples were characterized with 3-D con focused laser-scanning microscope. The wear depths were analyzed statistically. The correlations between the wear behaviors and antagonist radii were also compared. The results show the friction coefficient of dental porcelain goes up with the decreasing of antagonist radii, and the wear depth decreases with the antagonist diameters. Load and lubrication effect is significant for friction coefficient and wear depth. The friction and wear mechanism of dental ceramics was characterized by abrasive wear and delaminating.

In this work, the dry sliding friction and wear properties were studied by wear test for 100Cr6 bearing steel when Nb content was 0.018% and 0.040%. In addition, in order to explain the differences, the experimental samples were processed for spheroidizing annealed and the quenched-tempered microstructure and hardness was analyzed. The result indicated that their friction coefficient was decreased to 0.047 when Nb content was 0.018% and the worn surface is microcutting and spalling without plowing. When Nb content was 0.040%, the friction coefficient was decreased to 0.006 and maximum wear depth was the deepest owing to obvious cutting. In order to increase the properties of the friction and wearing, Nb content should be decreased. With Nb content increased, the properties of the friction and wearing are decreased. The incorporation of Nb into bearing steel promotes the formation of martensite and carbide particles, which results in the diversity of the wear behaviors, eventually.

Most of the time, mass eccentricity, and misalignment exist at the same time with aviation spline coupling working. Therefore, in this paper, the function of dynamic meshing force between multi-teeth and a non-linear dynamic model of involute spline coupling system in aero-engine with mass eccentricity and misalignment were presented. And then, the non-linear dynamic meshing force of spline coupling in aero-engine on different misalignment and mass eccentricity was investigated. The result shows that when the mass eccentricity and the misalignment are both small, the aviation involute spline coupling can run steady. And with the increase of mass eccentricity or misalignment, the dynamic load coefficient of the aviation involute spline coupling gradually increase. At the same time, as the mass eccentricity or misalignment increases, some teeth suffer more load, some teeth suffer less load, and some teeth are out of engagement so that they do not suffer any load. The running state of spline coupling becomes more and more unstable.

The fatigue behaviour of a representative high-performance aero-engine spline coupling is investigated under test conditions designed to simulate in-service conditions. The test load cycles consist of major cycle torque and axial load, simulating maximum thrust, combined with minor cycle rotating bending moment and fluctuating torque, simulating life-limiting conditions at take-off. The objective of the study is to develop understanding of the fatigue behaviour of the coupling over a range of loading conditions, including interaction between low-cycle fatigue, fretting fatigue and fretting wear. This information is necessary for the development of fatigue and fretting-fatigue life prediction techniques. The test results are interpreted with the help of three-dimensional finite element models, which include the frictional contact between the spline teeth.

This article deals with improving the wear resistance of multilayer coatings as a fundamental problem in metal surface treatment, strengthening elements of cutting tools, and ensuring the reliability of machine parts. It aims to evaluate the wear depth for multilayer coatings by the mass loss distribution in layers. The article’s primary purpose is to develop a mathematical method for assessing the value of wear for multilayer steel-based coatings. The study material is a multilayer coating applied to steel DIN C80W1. The research was performed using up-to-date laboratory equipment. Nitrogenchroming has been realized under overpressure in two successive stages: nitriding for 36 h at temperature 540 °C and chromizing during 4 h at temperature 1050 °C. The complex analysis included several options: X-ray phase analysis, local micro-X-ray spectral analysis, durometric analysis, and determination of wear resistance. These analyses showed that after nitrogenchroming, the three-layer protective coating from Cr23C6, Cr7C3, and Cr2N was formed on the steel surface. Spectral analysis indicated that the maximum amount of chromium 92.2% is in the first layer from Cr23C6. The maximum amount of carbon 8.9% characterizes the layer from Cr7C3. Nitrogen is concentrated mainly in the Cr2N layer, and its maximum amount is 9.4%. Additionally, it was determined that the minimum wear is typical for steel DIN C80W1 after nitrogenchroming. The weight loss of steel samples by 25 mg was obtained. This value differs by 3.6% from the results evaluated analytically using the developed mathematical model of wear of multilayer coatings after complex metallization of steel DIN C80W1. As a result, the impact of the loading mode on the wear intensity of steel was established. As the loading time increases, the friction coefficient of the coated samples decreases. Among the studied samples, plates from steel DIN C80W1 have the lowest friction coefficient after nitrogenchroming. Additionally, a linear dependence of the mass losses on the wearing time was obtained for carbide and nitride coatings. Finally, an increase in loading time leads to an increase in the wear intensity of steels after nitrogenchroming. The achieved scientific results are applicable in developing methods of chemical-thermal treatment, improving the wear resistance of multilayer coatings, and strengthening highly loaded machine parts and cutting tools.

AbstractThis research aims of compare the impact of the mass fraction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano additive on the tribological and thermophysical attributes of turbine meter oil. These attributes include the average friction coefficient, pressure drop, wear, flash point, pour point, relative viscosity, kinematics viscosity, and viscosity index. The pressure drops and the average friction coefficient inside the copper tube were simulated and compared with experimental results. In this study, for the synthesis of nano lubricants from turbine meter oil as a pure fluid and from MWCNTs and TiO2 as nano additives in the mass fraction of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 wt.% and from oleic acid and Triton x100 as surfactants were utilized. The results illustrated that the wear depth of copper pins in the presence of nano lubricant with 0.4 wt.% of MWCNTs and 0.1 wt.% TiO2 was improved by 88.26% and 71.43%, respectively. Increasing 0.3 wt.% of TiO2 and MWCNTs into the oil caused to improvement in viscosity index. The simulation data and experimental data for the pressure drop were closer together and indicated a minor error that the maximum error is less than 10%.

The complex movement of artificial joints is closely related to the wear mechanism of the prosthesis material, especially for the polymer prosthesis, which is sensitive to motion paths. In this paper, the “soft-soft” all-polymer of XLPE/PEEK are selected to study the influence of motion paths on the friction and wear performance. Based on the periodic characteristics of friction coefficient and wear morphology, this paper reveals the friction and wear mechanism of XLPE/peek under multi-directional motion path, and obtains the quantitative relationship between friction coefficient and the aspect ratios of “∞”-shape motion path, which is of great significance to reveal and analyze the wear mechanism of “soft” all-polymer under multi-directional motion path. The results show that the friction coefficient is affected by the motion paths and have periodicity. Morever, under the multi-directional motion paths, the wear of PEEK are mainly abrasive wear and adhesive wear due to the cross shear effect, while the wear of XLPE is mainly abrasive wear with plastic accumulation. In addition, the friction coefficient is greatly affected the aspect ratios Rs-l of “∞”-shape and loads. Meanwhile, the wear morphologies are greatly affected by the aspect ratios Rs-l of “∞”-shape, but less affected by loads.

The advancement of material technology has contributed to the variation of high-performance composites with good electrical insulation and mechanical properties. Their usage in electrical applications has grown since then. In Malaysia, the composite made of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) has been adopted for crossarm manufacturing and has successfully served 275 kV lines for a few decades. However, the combination of extreme conditions such as lightning transient and tropical climate can impose threats to the material. These issues have become major topics of discussion among the utilities in the Southeast Asian (SEA) region, and also in previous research. In Malaysia, more than 50% of total interruptions were caused by lightning. Limited studies can be found on the composite crossarm, especially on the square tube GFRP filled crossarm used in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper proposes to study the behavior of the particular GFRP crossarm, by means of its insulation characteristics. Experimental and simulation approaches are used. Throughout the study, the GFRP specimen is known to have an average breakdown strength at 7.2 kV/mm. In addition, the CFO voltages of the crossarm at different lengths are presented, whereby the behavior under dry and wet conditions is comparably discussed. At the same time, the polarity effect on the CFO voltages is highlighted. The maximum E-fields at the immediate moment before breakdown are analyzed by adopting the finite element method (FEM). Non-uniform distribution of E-fields is witnessed at different parts of the crossarm structure. Simultaneously, the maximum field localized on the crossarm immediately before the breakdown is also presented.
