T1 - Tribological behavior of MoS2 in hydrogen environment N2 - The solid lubricant molybdenum disulfide is a well known material for extreme conditions where conventional oil or grease lubrication is not feasible (vacuum, high pressures). However, under reactive environments e.g. high humidity or hydrogen MoS2 is prone to premature failure. By using a PVD process, deposition parameters can be optimized to gain coatings with a more textured structure orienting the basal planes parallel to the Substrate surface, A similar concept has been used by Koch et al. for coatings developed to withstand the extreme operational conditions of the WENDELSTEIN W7-X fusion experiment. Therefore, an improved tribological behavior even under adverse conditions can be achieved.

T1 - Tribological screening tests for the selection of raw materials for automotive brake pad formulations N2 - A modified pin-on-disc test was applied to determine tribological properties of typical brake pad constituents. Ball-milling of these ingredients together with iron oxide and graphite provided model materials displaying the main features of real third bodies. Solid lubricants like graphite affected the friction and wear behaviour of Fe3O4 powders considerably whereas further addition of hard nanoparticles induced only minor effects. This was corroborated by comparison with modelling results. MoS2 played a dual role. Depending on special conditions, this ingredient either reduced or increased friction. The latter could be explained, after nanoscopic characterization, by oxidation and destruction of the wear-protecting tribofilm.

These supports have to sustain high loads while allowing a certain amount of tangential movement with low friction and without any stick-slip motion. Vacuum and cryogenic environments are extremely hostile for smooth sliding systems, because conventional liquid lubricants cannot be employed, and only a very limited number of materials for dry sliding systems under these conditions are available. In order to test the friction behaviour of support elements in the field coils of the fusion experiment WENDELSTEIN 7-X, a test rig was build which allows testing in liquid helium environment at 4.2 K, with a normal force up to 150 kN, and a sliding velocity of 0.1 mm/s in oscillating motion. First tests have shown that the apparatus is appropriate for simulating the sliding behaviour of support elements. As an example, a result of an earlier model test of an MoS2-coating is shown.

A1 - Schneider, Thomas T1 - Tribological performance of MoS2 coatings in liquid helium and at high loads N2 - The main part of a narrow support element (NSE) of the W7-X superconducting coil system is an aluminium bronze pad, PVD coated on its spherical surface with MoS2, which slides against the flat surface of the stainless steel coil housing, coated with MoS2 spray. The operational requirements of the NSEs are: vacuum of p < 10-6 mbar, temperature T ~4 K, maximum load P ~1500 kN, typical displacement ≤5 mm, smooth sliding and no stick-slip events. The paper describes test results obtained with a downscaled NSE at T = 4.2 and 77 K. During the test the NSEs were submerged in liquid helium and nitrogen, respectively. Whereas the LN2 test ran smoothly for up to ~15,000 cycles, the test in LHe showed stick-slip from the very first cycle. The stick-slip disappeared after ~50 cycles. Post mortem analysis of the tested parts revealed that in case of LHe the sprayed MoS2 film was removed during the first 30-100 cycles by blistering and flaking. The reason for the loss of adhesion at LHe temperature is not known, several possible causes are under discussion. Further experiments under vacuum and at T ~4 K are being prepared which are expected to help in clarifying the issue.

A1 - Wartzack, S. A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Humidity resistant MoS2 coatings deposited by unbalanced magnetron sputtering N2 - MoS2 is a suitable solid lubricant for environments free of oxygen or water vapor (i.e. vacuum). Humid air degrades film properties due to oxidation accompanied by high wear and increasing coefficients of friction. The present study aims at the further development of sputtered pure MoS2 coatings, extending their applicability to varying environmental conditions by increasing the resistance against humidity. The systematic coating development process is supported by using an experimental Box–Behnken design with variations of the deposition parameters cathode voltage, target/substrate distance, temperature and argon gas pressure. In contrast to common one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) studies, this approach enables a determination of interactions between deposition process parameters and tribological–mechanical MoS2 film properties. The tribological improvement focuses on a maximization of wear resistance in air and vacuum measured in ball-on-disk experiments. The evaluated mechanical properties are hardness, elastic modulus and residual stresses. These stresses were determined by the substrate curvature method. The study reveals that the residual stress state in the films and the hardness-to-modulus ratio are crucial for their tribological performance in humid air and vacuum environments. After a detailed determination of the relationships between deposition conditions and film properties, some selected microstructural analyses are presented which show that a substantially basal orientation of the lattice has positive effects on wear but also causes anisotropic film properties which result in fissile fracture of the coating if strong shock or point loads occur.

T1 - Exploring the potential of Raman spectroscopy for the identification of silicone oil residue and wear scar characterization for the assessment of tribofilm functionality N2 - We applied a combination of Raman spectroscopy (RS) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (X-TEM) to identify silicone oil residues and tribofilms at steel disc surfaces after tribological testing. Neither chemical cleaning nor mechanical removal of a 50 µm thick surface layer produced a surface without any silicone residue. Nevertheless, long-term tribological properties are not affected due to silicone degradation which has been proved by Raman spectroscopy. Excellent anti-wear and anti-friction properties of a nanocomposite at severe stressing conditions correlated with the formation of a silica-based tribofilm containing amorphous and graphite-like carbon nanoparticles. Since reliable carbon quantification by analytical TEM is difficult, RS is a useful complementary method for carbon identification at wear scars.

Niobium carbide (NbC) is well suited as a cutting tool due to its high melting point and low solubility in iron. So far, NbC-Ni cermets best met the requirements of high hardness and toughness. Various secondary carbides such as VC, Mo2C, TiC, but also WC were added to further improve the hardness. N2 - Aufgrund des rasanten Preisanstiegs von Wolframcarbid und signifikanter Gesundheitsrisiken, die mit den Verschleißprodukten von WC-Co-Hartmetallen (Co3O4 and Wo3) einhergehen, wird eine Alternative benötigt. Niobcarbid (NbC) ist als Zerspanwerkzeug aufgrund seiner hohen Schmelztemperatur und seiner geringen Löslichkeit in Eisen gut geeignet. Im Vergleich zu reinem NbC, führte eine vollständige Substitution von WC zu NbC-Co zu einem Anstieg der Zähigkeit und Festigkeit. Als alternative Binder wurden anschließend Nickel- und Eisengebundene Binder untersucht. Obwohl eisengebundene Hartmetalle im Vergleich zu NbC-Ni Hartmetallen eine ökonomische und kostengünstigere Alternative darstellen würden, zeigten sie einen höheren Reibkoeffizienten und eine höhere Verschleißrate. Bisher erfüllen die NbC-Ni-Hartmetalle die Anforderungen hinsichtlich einer hohen Härte und Zähigkeit am besten. Verschiedene Sekundärkarbide, wie VC, Mo2C, TiC, aber auch WC wurden zusätzlich hinzugefügt, um die Härte weiter zu steigern. Elementanalysen der NbC-Ni-MeC Hartmetalle (Me = Metall) zeigten, dass der Binder eine kubisch-flächenzentrierter Mischkristall ist, während die NbC Phase ein Mischkristall des Typs (Nb, Me)C ist.

T1 - Laser shock peening: A NbC based cermet enhancement alternative for improved GCI interrupted face-milling N2 - Attempts were made to improve the properties and machining performance of NbC based cermet cutting inserts for face milling of grey cast iron (GCI) (BS 1452/GG35) by spark plasma sintering (SPS), use of sub-stoichiometric NbC (NbC₀ˏ₈₈), Cr₃C₂ and Mo₂C additives and laser shock peening (LSP). The microstructure, hardness, fracture toughness and Young’s modulus of WC–Co, NbC₀ˏ₈₈-Co and NbC₀ˏ₈₈-Ni cermet-based inserts were investigated for machining performance. Additions of Mo₂C and manufacture by SPS significantly refined the NbC₀ˏ₈₈-Ni/Co cermet’s carbide grain size from ~5.0 μm to <0.9 μm, which increased the hardness (by ~4GPa) and wear resistance. Laser shock peening (LSP) improved the fracture toughness of all the inserts, from 10% (in the SPS WC based in cermets) to ~100% (in the LPS NbC based cermets). Uncoated cutting inserts were manufactured from the sintered cermets in an SNMA (double sided square insert without a chipformer on the cutting edge) shape (12.7 × 12.7 × 4.3 mm³, 1.6 mm nose radius). The inserts were used for interrupted face-milling of GCI at cutting speeds (ν˛) ranging from 100 m/minute (400 rpm)–500 m/minute (2000 rpm) and depths of cut (ɑₚ) of 0.2–1.0 mm. The insert wear was measured after every pass and analyzed by annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ADF-STEM). Cutting temperatures were measured with a high-speed thermal camera and forces were measured using a Kistler dynamometer. During machining at ν˛ = 200 m/minute and ɑₚ = 1.0 mm, WC–Co inserts had the lowest flank wear rate (FWR), although LSP significantly improved the tool life of the NbC₀ˏ₈₈-Ni inserts, significantly reducing the FWR from 148.63 μm/minute to 99.79 μm/minute (by ~33%) and the average resultant force from 1257 ± 15 N to 535 ± 15 N. During machining at ν˛ = 500 m/minute and ɑₚ = 0.2 mm, LSP significantly lowered the FWRs of the NbC₀ˏ₈₈ inserts, giving better tool life than all the WC based inserts. Generally, LSP improved the NbC₀ˏ₈₈ inserts’ tool life, reducing the flank wear rate by up to 33% during roughing and 63% during finishing.

T1 - Exploring the beneficial role of tribofilms formed from an epoxy-based hybrid nanocomposite N2 - The composition and nanostructure of a beneficial tribofilm formed during sliding of a hybrid nanocomposite against steel were characterized comprehensively. A similar nanostructure was produced by high energy ball milling of the three identified tribofilm constituents: silica, hematite and graphite. By supplying powders to a pin-on-disc test it has been shown that neither silica, nor hematite, nor a mixture of both provide the low coefficient of friction (COF) observed for the hybrid composite. Only if graphite was blended with the oxides, the low COF was obtained. Thus, a film of finely dispersed stable inorganic wear products containing 15 vol% graphite provides low friction and wear in the considered case.

Pure magnetite powder provided a value of CoF of 0.4. Magnetite-copper mixtures tested at 400 °C revealed lower CoF values (~0.4) than those at room temperature (~0.6). Magnetite-graphite and magnetite-graphite-copper mixtures presented lower CoF values (~0.3). All systems formed a magnetite-based tribofilm and patches of metallic copper were found on the tribosurfaces of the mixtures containing copper. Carbon layers and graphite nanoinclusions were observed in the graphite mixtures. The incorporation of zirconia particles, a by-product of ball milling mixing, prevented the selective transfer of graphite and copper to the tribosurfaces of some of the samples.

The results showed that the friction coefficient decreases with temperature down to 77 K, but did not follow a linear evolution further down to extreme low temperatures. It can be stated that the cryogenic environment has a significant influence on the tribological performance of the polymer composites. The effect of low temperatures was more clearly detected at low sliding speed, where friction heat is reduced. A change in wear mechanism from adhesive to abrasive was observed in this case.

Therefore, it is necessary to pursue research on material compatibility in hydrogen, especially for critical parts with tribological issues. The focus of this study is to evaluate the influence of hydrogen on a wider range of commercially available polymer materials. Thereby, the friction and wear behavior of different grades of TPE, POM, PA66, PA12, PPA, PEEK, PPS, PTFE, PAI, PI and PBI were investigated against a rotating steel disk (AISI 304). Filled and unfilled polymers from different suppliers were evaluated at room temperature in air, vacuum and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at - 253°C (LH2). The sliding behavior of the polymer materials is discussed by means of surface analyses, whereby special attention is paid to the formation of a transfer film. According to the results at ambient temperature, the effect of hydrogen environment on the tribological behavior of neat polymers may be related to lack of moisture, but also to saturated hydrocarbons in gaseous hydrogen. In liquid hydrogen, the best tribological performances were achieved with neat PA polymers as well as PPS and PI composites.

Polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials were investigated against hardened 52100 martensitic bearing steel and 304 austenitic stainless steel with similar roughness (Ra = 0.2 μm). Results indicate that the friction and wear of PI and PEEK materials depend on the counterface material. This effect wasn’t observed for PTFE composites. While the tribological performance of polyimide is better against 52100 in hydrogen, improved sliding behaviour of PEEK materials is observed with 304 counterface, particularly at higher sliding speed. Surface analyses of the transfer film reveal that the influence of the counterface is primarily related to the chemical nature of the steel for PI and to the thermal conductivity of the disc for PEEK materials.

Tests were performed with carbon fibre reinforced PEEK composites filled with PTFE, and MoS2 or graphite as further solid lubricant. Polymer samples were tested in a pin-on-disc configuration continuously sliding against CrNi-steel. Depending on sliding speed and temperature, the MoS2 filled composites showed high wear resistance and friction coefficients as low as PVD coatings.

A1 - Weihnacht, V. T1 - Friction and endurance of MoS2/ta-C coatings produced by laser arc deposition N2 - The tribological behaviour of MoS2/ta-C double layer coatings deposited by Laser-Arc technology was investigated in vacuum and air. In vacuum environment, the friction coefficient against steel balls varies between 0.005 and 0.02 depending on the contact pressure. At high contact pressures, the friction coefficient is as low as 0.005 and the life time between 340,000 and 500,000 cycles. Furthermore, it is shown that a ta-C base layer improves the performance of MoS2 coating. Surface analyses were performed before and after the tribological tests by means of SEM, EDX, XRD, and TEM. They show that in the top layer beneath the sliding surface crystallization of the initially quasi-amorphous MoS2 took place. TEM images also verified an orientation of the basal MoS2-lattice planes parallel to the surface.

Sliding tests were run against AISI 52100 steel and the worn surfaces as well as the transfer film were analyzed by means of SEM, EDX and Infrared Spectroscopy. Results indicate that the chemical structure of the polyimide has a major influence on the tribological behavior. While the friction of PI2 remains rather stable in all environments, PI1 showed very low friction in hydrogen without any lubricant. The lubricity of graphite was found to be more effective in hydrogen than in moist air.

Small movements in the magnet system are inevitable during ramping due to the increasing electromagnetic forces. Friction pairs of polymer based materials have been investigated at 4.2 K to gain an understanding of their sliding behavior in conditions representative of superconducting MRI systems. The results indicate that polymer-polymer pairs experience unstable sliding behavior with repeated stick-slip whereas polymer-aluminum couples have stable sliding behavior up to high contact pressures of 20 MPa.
