The friction and wear properties of an Al6061 alloy reinforced with carbon fibers (CF) modified with Cu-Ni bimetallic layers were researched. Cu-Ni double layers were applied to the CF by electroless plating and Al6061-matrix composites were prepared by powder metallurgy technology. The metal-CF/Al interfaces and post-dry-wear-testing wear loss weights, friction coefficients, worn surfaces, and wear debris were characterized. After T6 heat treatment, the interfacial bonding mechanism of Cu-Ni-CF changed from mechanical bonding to diffusion bonding and showed improved interfacial bonding strength because the Cu transition layer reduced the fiber damage caused by Ni diffusion. The metal–CF interfacial bonding strongly influenced the composite’s tribological properties. Compared to the Ni-CF/Al and Cu-CF/Al composites, the Cu-Ni-CF/Al composite showed the highest hardness, the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate, and the best load-carrying capacity. The wear mechanisms of Cu-Ni-CF/Al composite are mainly slight abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

In order to improve the wear resistance and extend service life of aluminum alloy parts, the Ni-base alloy anti-wear coatings were prepared on the surfaces of 7A05 aluminum alloy by plasma spraying technology. The microstructure and interface of the coatings were analyzed, and the friction and wear properties of Ni-base alloy coatings and aluminum alloy substrates were investigated under dry friction condition at room temperature. The research results show that the main phases of Ni-base alloy coating are γ-Ni, CrB and Cr23C6. The thicknesses of diffusion layers existing between intermediate layer and coating, intermediate layer and substrate are respectively 15μm and 20μm. The bonding types of the coating and the substrate are mechanical combination accompanied with partially metallurgical combination. When wore against GCr15 steel balls, the average friction coefficient of the Ni-base alloy coatings is 11.6% lower than that of the aluminum alloy substrates, and the average wear loss of the former is 9.3mg, which is only 1/3 of that of the latter. With the increase of loads, the wear mechanisms of the Ni-base alloy coatings change from slightly micro-cutting wear and fatigue wear to abrasive wear and micro-fracture wear, while those of the aluminum alloy substrates are mainly adhesive wear and abrasive wear as well as slight oxidation wear.

A composite layer was prepared on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface by ion nitriding, magnetron sputtering Mo and ion sulfurizing composite treatment technique. The phase structure, morphology, and cross-sectional element distribution of composite layer were analyzed. Friction and wear properties of composite layer were tested by MM-200 laboratory tester. XRD analysis showed that the composite layer was mainly comprised of Ti, Mo, MoS2, TiN, and transition layer. This composite layer is perfect wear-resistant surface due to existence of self-lubricating MoS2 on hard Mo and TiN layers with good anti-friction ability. Thereby, the results of friction and wear test showed that anti-wear performance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy after composite treatment was remarkably improved under dry and sliding conditions. Both the friction coefficient and the wear loss of the nitriding-Mo plating-sulfurizing layers were lower than that of the nitriding layer due to the formation of the MoS2 layer on Mo and TiN layers.

To reduce the friction coefficient between impregnated diamond bit and rock, experiments on addition of graphite to the matrix material of bit cutters were conducted. The cutters were made up of diamond contained working layers and binding layers. The friction and wear properties of cutters and binding layers were investigated using a pin-on-disc friction & wear tester with granite as tribopair. The results showed that with addition of graphite, the hardness and friction coefficient of binding layer decreased, but its wear resistance increased; compared to cutters without graphite, those cutters containing graphite had lower wear loss and friction coefficient and their sliding wear process was much steadier, but diamond protrusion was still normal.

Friction and wear properties of aluminum matrix composites are studied, including brake speed, brake pressure, and surface temperature etc. A conclusion can be drawn that SiC particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites are of stable friction coefficient, high thermal conductivity, and excellent wear-resistance. Hubs of motorcycle with brake rings of Al/SiC composites were manufactured and exhibited an excellent braking performance.
