T1 - Friction and wear of two polyethylenes under different tribological contact conditions N2 - Tribological properties of ultrahigh-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) were studied in two different wear modes. Firstly, reciprocating sliding wear studies under non-conformal contact investigated the effects of counterface surface roughness (polished, lapped and ground) of Ti6Al4V on the friction and wear of the polyethylenes. Secondly, two-body abrasive wear studies in conformal contact against different abrasive grit size papers were also carried out to ascertain the wear sensitivity of the polyethylenes under these adverse conditions. Wear mechanisms were studied using optical and scanning electron micrographs. The results of the reciprocating sliding wear studies showed that surface roughness of the counterface influenced friction and wear characteristics although no correlation was found between the coefficient of friction and specific wear rate. XLPE demonstrated wear sensitivity, particularly under severe abrasive wear condition. The results indicated that the performance of the polyethylenes greatly depends upon the tribological system under which it is operating.

The extruder screw is the main wear component in those production machines and is usually coated with intermetallic wear protection alloys composed of Ni-based alloys, specifically Colmonoy C56 PTA (NiMoCrSi). There is a growing demand for providing an economic machinability of these alloys to achieve defined contours with a sufficient surface integrity. Recent investigations exhibit promising results applying ultrasonic milling for such hard-to-cut materials. The Colmonoy C56 is modified by various alloying additions Ti, Nb, Mo, Hf, and Al, and then cladded on a steel S355 via Plasma Transferred Arc process. The effect of alloying additions on the microstructure is analyzed regarding their resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear. With Miller test ASTM G75 the influence of alloying elements on resistance to abrasive wear for two abrasive materials is investigated (high-grade corundum F220 and quartz powder). The wear loss is not increased for additions of Nb and Ti compared to the base material C56. Modifications with Hf or Al reduces the resistance to abrasive wear and significantly increases material loss. The extruder screw is also subject to adhesive wear, which can be quantified by means of the pin-roll test. It is demonstrated that the addition of Hf, for example, contributes to a reduction in wear loss. Aim of the investigations is to find suitable modifications for the wear claddings of C56 for a sufficient machineability, without compemising the wear resistant. The machinability is considerably affected by the alloy additions, and is determined using ultrasonic-assisted milling. The addition of hafnium reduces machinability, i.e. significantly increases cutting forces. The incorporation of Nb exhibits a significant reduction of cutting forces, and results in reduced tool wear and an enhanced of surface integrity (roughness, density of defects, residual stresses).
