Outer particle collision with certain dynamic objects is not a pure impact wear behavior; it is typically accompanied by sliding wear phenomena. This study is aimed at investigating the impact-sliding wear performance of three different TC17 titanium alloys. One was untreated, and the other two were subjected to laser shock peening (LSP) by 5 and 7 J pulse energy, respectively. The wear test was performed on a novel impact-sliding wear testing rig, which can realize multiple impact-sliding motions by changing motion parameters in the x and z directions. Present results showed that wear resistance of both treated samples improved compared with the untreated alloy. Given the increase in wear cycles, increment in wear rate of the untreated sample was constantly higher than those of the treated samples. All results can be attributed to the increase in surface hardness of the material and residual compressive stress, which was also introduced after LSP.

AbstractThe impact-sliding wear behavior of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants is complex owing to the dynamic nature of the mechanical response and self-induced tribological changes. In this study, the effects of impact and sliding velocity on the impact-sliding wear behavior of a 2.25Cr1Mo steel tube are investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experimental study, a wear test rig that can measure changes in the impact and friction forces as well as the compressive displacement over different wear cycles, both in real time, is designed. A semi-analytical model based on the Archard wear law and Hertz contact theory is used to predict wear. The results indicate that the impact dynamic effect by the impact velocity is more significant than that of the sliding velocity, and that both velocities affect the friction force and wear degree. The experimental results for the wear depth evolution agree well with the corresponding simulation predictions.

Abstract Electroless Ni–B–W coating is deposited on low carbon steel in an alkaline sodium borohydride-reduced electroless bath. The mechanical and tribological properties of such coatings are much necessary to be assessed to carry out application-based studies. The present work focuses mainly on the evaluation of hardness and fracture toughness of electroless Ni–B–W coatings using a scratch tester. Coating's response toward scratching is also studied thoroughly. The characteristic short-range order present in its lattice structure causes the generation of a specific behavioral pattern. Furthermore, a linear sliding wear test is carried out on coatings' surface to analyze the wear behavior at different loading conditions. The specific wear rate is observed to be minimum at a normal load of 22.5 N against Si3N4 counterbody. The patterns of tribological behavior of the coating at different load values are examined from the worn surface morphologies. But before embarking on the scratch and sliding wear tests, the synthesized coatings are characterized under field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction in an exhaustive manner. The growth rates with respect to time and the changes in morphological aspects of the coating are also evaluated. The present study establishes electroless Ni–B–W deposits as a suitable option for protecting mechanical components against wear.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a surface modification technique to improve the mechanical properties of metals and alloys, where physical phenomena are difficult to investigate, due to short time scales and extreme physical values. In this regard, simulations can significantly contribute to understand the underlying physics. In this paper, a coupled simulation approach for LSP is presented. A global model of laser–matter–plasma interaction is applied to determine the plasma pressure, which is used as surface loading in finite element (FE) simulations in order to predict residual stress (RS) profiles in the target material. The coupled model is applied to the LSP of AA2198-T3 with water confinement, 3×3mm2 square focus and 20 ns laser pulse duration. This investigation considers the variation in laser pulse energy (3 J and 5 J) and different protective coatings (none, aluminum and steel foil). A sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of parameter inaccuracies of the global model on the resulting RS. Adjustment of the global model to different laser pulse energies and coating materials allows us to compute the temporal pressure distributions to predict RS with FE simulations, which are in good agreement with the measurements.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique similar to shot peening. An analytical model to predict the residual stress field can obtain the impact effect much quickly, and will be invaluable in enabling a close-loop process control in production, saving time and cost of processing. A complete analytical model of LSP with some reasonable simplification is proposed to predict residual stresses in depth by a sequential application of a confined plasma development model and a residual stress model. The spatial distribution of the shock pressure and the high strain rate effect are considered in the model. Good agreements have been shown with several experimental measured results for various laser conditions and target materials, thus proving the validity of the proposed model.

Abstract The applications of magnesium (Mg) and their alloys are often restricted by their poor formability at room temperature. Several strategies have been developed in recent years to enhance the formability of Mg alloys, such as grain refinement and texture weakening, either by alloying or processing. Laser shock peening (LSP) is an advanced laser-based surface processing method which has been utilized improve the surface hardness, fatigue performance, and corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. Recent studies show that LSP can bring significant texture weakening and grain refinement effect in Mg alloy, indicating its potential capability of enhancing the formability of Mg alloys. This research is to explore the applicability of LSP to improve the room temperature-stretch formability of Mg alloys. LSP experiments are carried out on an AZ31B Mg alloys. The microstructure before and after LSP are characterized by optical microscopy (OM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) microscopy. Erichsen tests are carried out to evaluate the stretch formability of Mg alloys. The results show that LSP can bring texture weakening and grain refinement effect simultaneously, resulting in the improved room temperature-stretch formability of Mg alloys.
