Abstract The problem of heat generation in tires assumes new importance with the advent of synthetic rubber and the increased use of reclaimed rubber. Even if reduced speeds may prevent heat blowouts, higher temperatures mean that both fabric and rubber are operating under unfavorable conditions. Synthetic rubber, in particular, is then working at reduced tensile strength and tear resistance. It is more susceptible to heat embrittlement, cuts, and abrasion. A number of flexometers for rubber testing have been described, and some of these instruments have been widely used. The flexometer described here is characterized by simplicity of construction, high speed, and convenience of operation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine mechanical and metallurgical properties of AlTiN- and TiN-coates high-speed steel (HSS) materials in detail. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, HSS steel parts have been processed through machining and have been coated with AlTiN and TiN on physical vapour deposition workbench at approximately 6,500°C for 4 hours. Tensile strength, fatigue strength, hardness tests for AlTiN- and TiN-coated HSS samples have been performed; moreover, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis and microstructure analysis have been made by scanning electron microscopy. The obtained results have been compared with uncoated HSS components. Findings – It was found that tensile strength of TiAlN- and TiN-coated HSS parts is higher than that of uncoated HSS parts. Highest tensile strength has been obtained from TiN-coated HSS parts. Number of cycles for failure of TiAlN- and TiN-coated HSS parts is higher than that for HSS parts. Particularly TiN-coated HSS parts have the most valuable fatigue results. However, surface roughness of fatigue samples may cause notch effect. For this reason, surface roughness of coated HSS parts is compared with that of uncoated ones. While the average surface roughness (Ra) of the uncoated samples was in the range of 0.40 μm, that of the AlTiN- and TiN-coated samples was in the range of 0.60 and 0.80 μm, respectively. Research limitations/implications – It would be interesting to search different coatings for cutting tools. It could be the good idea for future work to concentrate on wear properties of tool materials. Practical implications – The detailed mechanical and metallurgical results can be used to assess the AlTiN and TiN coating applications in HSS materials. Originality/value – This paper provides information on mechanical and metallurgical behaviour of AlTiN- and TiN-coated HSS materials and offers practical help for researchers and scientists working in the coating area.

Purpose Thermal performances are key factors impacting the operation of angular contact ball bearings. Heat generation and transfer about angular contact ball bearings, however, have not been addressed thoroughly. So far, most researchers only considered the convection effect between bearing housings and air, whereas the cooling/lubrication operation parameters and configuration effect were not taken into account when analyzing the thermal behaviors of bearings. This paper aims to analyze the structural constraints of high-speed spindle, structural features of bearing, heat conduction and convection to study the heat generation and transfer of high-speed angular contact ball bearings. Design/methodology/approach Based on the generalized Ohm’s law, the thermal grid model of angular contact ball bearing of high-speed spindle was first established. Next Gauss–Seidel method was used to solve the equations group by Matlab, and the nodes temperature was calculated. Finally, the bearing temperature rise was tested, and the comparative analysis was made with the simulation results. Findings The results indicate that the simulation results of bearing temperature rise for the proposed model are in better agreement with the test values. So, the thermal grid model established is verified. Originality/value This paper shows an improved model on forecasting temperature rise of high-speed angular contact ball bearings. In modeling, the cooling/lubrication operation parameters and structural constraints are integrated. As a result, the bearing temperature variation can be forecasted more accurately, which may be beneficial to improve bearing operating accuracy and bearing service life.

Abstract Carbon blacks can be grouped into different classes according to the way in which their fineness of division relates to different properties in rubber. Within any one class the principal properties vary in a regular manner with particle size. The normal class consists of the furnace carbons, Kosmos (Dixie)-40, Statex, the rubber-grade impingement carbons, and possibly, the color-grade impingement carbons. The subnormal classes consist of thermal carbons and acetylene and lamp blacks. Irrespective of the above classification, the properties which depend more on fineness of division than on other factors are rebound resilience, abrasion resistance, tensile strength and tear resistance. The lower limit of particle diameter for best tensile strength and tear resistance appears to be higher than that for abrasion resistance. B.S.I, hardness and electrical conductivity are properties which depend at least as much on other factors as on particle size. Stiffness (modulus) depends more on other factors than on particle size. Factors modifying the effects of particle size (or specific surface) include the presence of carbon-carbon structures and a reduction in strength of bond in rubber-carbon structures. Carbon black is thought to exist in rubber in four states: agglomerated, flocculated, dispersed, and bonded to the rubber molecules (the reënforcing fraction). Abrasion resistance is regarded as providing the only reliable measure of reënforcement.

Increased use of high-speed machining creates the need to predict spindle/bearing performance at high speeds. Spindle dynamic response is a function of the nonlinear bearing stiffness. At high speeds, thermal expansion can play an important role in bearing stiffness. A complete bearing load-deflection analysis including thermal expansion is derived and is coupled with an analysis of spindle dynamic response. Steady-state temperature distribution is found from heat generation at the contact point and from a quasi three-dimensional heat transfer model. Numerical solutions give a good prediction of thermal growth and heat generation in the bearing. Predicted high-speed spindle frequencies show good agreement with experimentation. The effects of loading condition and bearing material type on bearing stiffness are also shown.

Al-Mg-Si (6061-T6) alloy with 0.8 mm thick plate was welded successfully by use of high speed friction stir welding (FSW) technology. The microstructural characteristics and mechanical property of the butt joints prepared by high speed FSW were analyzed in detail, the influence of welding parameters, fixture condition and after welding heat treatment were also explored. The results shown that sound surface topography and defect-free bonding interface were observed in the nugget zone (NZ). The microhardness of the as-welded joint was lower than that of the base metal because of the welding heat effect. Compared with the conventional speed FSW, the number of β-Mg2Si, Al2CuMg and Al8Fe2Si precipitated phases existed in the high speed FSWed NZ increased, which made the microhardness in the NZ improved significantly. The rod-shaped precipitates (Mg2Si) have the greatest influence on the microhardness distributions. The maximum tensile strength of 301.8 MPa, which was 85.8% of the base metal, was obtained at high rotation speed of 8000 rpm and fast welding speed of 1500 mm/min. The tensile strength of the ultra-high speed FSWed butt joints were improved significantly by post-weld artificial aging, with a maximum joint efficiency of 90.4%.

Abstract In accordance with the concepts being developed by the authors of the present paper, the influence of fillers on the properties of filled systems is determined by adhesion of the polymer to the filler. There are indications of the significance of this factor in many papers dealing with the study of reinforcement. However, they do not advance adhesion as a basic factor which determines reinforcement. This has become possible after the development of a procedure for the evaluation of adhesion of polymers to powdered fillers. This paper lists experimental data on the correlation between the duration and temperature of contact of the elastomer with filler particles on the tear resistance of filled mixes, on one hand, and the time and temperature dependence of the adhesion of the system components to one another, on the other. The selection of tear resistance as a characteristic of the physicomechanical properties of the system is governed by the fact that failure starts, as a rule, from a random local defect. Most frequently this is a small cut or surface crack. For this reason, the assertion of a number of researchers that the operating properties of products are more fully characterized by tear resistance rather than by tensile strength is fully acceptable. Besides, tearing is the most general type of destruction of materials, inasmuch as it takes place during rupture as well as during wear.

Feasibility of utilizing cryogenic technology to improve the shearability of Al2024-T351 alloy is experimentally investigated by carrying out a single grit scratch-grinding test. A single grit brazed diamond grinding tool is developed for the study. Al2024-T351 work specimens are treated with liquid nitrogen for 6 hours before the scratch test. Although there was no significant change in the tensile strength of the material, the surface experiences change in the microhardness. It helps in arresting the side flow and ploughing of the material during high speed scratch grinding. The scratched grooves on cryo-treated samples, compare to those of untreated specimens, shows signs of cleaner shear-cuts, superior finish and produces less grinding force during grinding
