TY - JOUR A1 - Woydt, Mathias A1 - Mohrbacher, H. T1 - The tribological and mechanical properties of niobium carbides (NbC) bonded with cobalt of Fe3Al N2 - The tribological and mechanical properties of niobium carbide bonded with 8 vol.-% (NbC-8Co), 12 vol.-% of cobalt (NbC-12Co) or 12 vol.-% of Fe3Al (NbC-12Fe3Al) are presented. Rotating discs made of metal-bonded niobium carbide were mated against alumina (99.7%) under unlubricated (dry) unidirectional sliding tests (0.1 m/s to 12.0 m/s; 22 °C and 400 C) as well as in oscillation tests (f=20 Hz, Δx=0.2 mm, 2/50/98% rel. humidity, n=105/106 cycles). Microstructure and phase compositions were determined as well. The tribological data obtained were benchmarked with different ceramics, cermets, hard metals and thermally sprayed coatings, where NbC bonded with 8% and 12% Co presented above 7 m/s the lowest wear rates so far in such a benchmark. Binderless NbC (HP-NbC1) and the metal-bonded NbCs exhibited low wear rates under dry sliding associated with P·V high load carrying capacities. NbC-based hard metal bonded with 12 vol.-% of Fe3Al resulted in a higher hardness level than for 12 vol.-% cobalt. The tribological profile established revealed a strong position of NbC-bearing materials under tribological considerations and for closed tribosystems against established reference tribo-couples.

T1 - The use of niobium carbide (Nbc) for wear resistant tribosystems and the tribological backgrounds as cutting tools N2 - The tribological profile of rotating disks made in binder-less niobium Carbide (hot-pressed NbC) and cobalt-bonded NbCs (NbC-8Co and NbC-12Co) mated against alumina (99.7%) were determined under unidirectional sliding tests (0.1 m/s to 8.0 m/s; 22°C and 400°C) as well as in oscillation tests (f= 20 Hz, Ax= 0.2 mm, 2/50/98% rel. humidity, n= 105/l 06 cycles) under unlubricated (dry) conditions. In addition, the microstructure and mechanical properties of HPNbCl and NbC bonded with 8 vol.-% and 12 vol.-% cobalt were determined as well. The tribological data obtained were benchmarked with different ceramics, cermets, hard metals and thermally sprayed coatings, where the NbCs bonded with 8% and 12% Co presented above 7 m/s the lowest wear rates so far in such a bench mark. HP-NbCl, NbC-8Co and NbC-12Co exhibited low wear rates under dry sliding associated with PV high load carrying capacities. The tribological profile established revealed a strong position of NbC bearing materials under tribological considerations and for closed tribo-systems against traditional references.
