TY - CONF A1 - Woydt, Mathias A1 - Mohrbacher, H. T1 - Adjusting the functional properties of niobium carbide N2 - The process window and range of functional properties of NbC is wide, because micro-hardness, hot hardness, sliding wear resistance, elastic modulus and toughness can be tailored by the C/Nb ratio, because Nb4C3, Nb6C5 and other short and long range ordered phases occur in the region of homogeneity of NbCx (0,75≤ x ≤1.0) in the binary Phase diagram, and by the type of binder. Further improvements enable the addition of secondary carbides. Supporting results from literature and different grades with varying C/Nb ratio or binder types were illuminated. Thus, the NbC system offers to producers a wider process window, than WC. The impact of these tailored properties on sliding wear and cutting performance was illuminated by tribological and machining results. NbC can be synthesized by carbothermal conversion of Nb2O5 or be metallurgically grown in melts and leached out as coarse NbC cubes. NbC provides comparably lower friction in many relevant tribo-contacts and displays low wear. NbC and Nb2O5 have so far no REACH classification related to human toxicology and are not listed as substances of very high concern contrary to WO3 and Co3O4.

Requirements for energy efficiency and also environmentally acceptable properties increased the demand for development. In the same time, system pressure and the used of servo-hydraulic vanes increased bringing specific formulations and materials to their limit. The vane pump is a key component in hydraulic systems and many other tribosystems in hydraulic circuits operate under different tribological operating conditions. The concept for ranking of hydraulic oils consists in using existing SRV-based ASTM test methods for evaluation of friction, wear and extreme pressure properties: D6425, friction and wear of oils (homologue to DIN 51834-2), D7421, extreme pressure properties of oils and D7755, wear volumes of ball and disks (homologue to DIN 51834-3. The tribological properties are assessed under the regime of mixed/boundary lubrication The SRV-based concept of tribological profile generates the wear volumes on two triboelements (specimen) and the extreme pressure properties as well as the evolution of friction in the wear and extreme pressure load step test. Thus, the benchmark and validation of hydraulic oils bear on a wider range of tribological properties. Round robin test results using the aforementioned testing concept will be shown. Another outcome is tribological set limits for inclusion in hydrau¬lic oil speci¬fications.

A1 - Woydt, Mathias T1 - New interpretation approaches for seizure load tests on the translatory oscillation tribometer (SRV) N2 - When looking in detail at analyses of the tribological load-carrying capacity of high-performance lubricants, it becomes apparent that the stop of the machine of an exclusive evaluation of the development of the coefficient of friction cannot provide any sufficient criteria for determining the occurrence of adhesive failure. This is due on the one hand to the increasing complexity of lubricant formulae and sophisticated additive packages, and on the other hand to the increasing frictional power capacity of modern drive and control concepts in the design of tribometers. For this reason, it is urgently needed to examine the adhesive processes and their detection in more detail with the help of appropriate tribological values and criteria. The evolution of the friction can be coupled with the stroke, contact resistant and/or noise emission. Besides from new criteria for adhesive failure, which were compiled by the work group for the relevant ISO, DIN and ASTM standards, this contribution discusses the inclusion of additional parameters. Among other things, it provides guidance on what evidence the continuous recording of the original coefficient of friction and position signals, the electrical contact resistance, temperature, noise emission, frictional power input of the machine and further derived parameters help to identify adhesive failures or events.

For the development of formulations it is desirable to determine the lowest effective concentration or the concentration at which failure was initiated or excessive wear began. Through a new development of the SRV® machine it is now possible to change the lubricant composition of a test specimen in a reproducible manner, in sub-pro Mill steps during the SRV® testing. This technology is used in the present article to define the optimum additive concentration with regard to wear and friction in a system of base oil and additive. Exemplary selected base oil and additive variants are tested here. The load parameters during testing are selected in such a way that they correspond to later application. The new data acquisition capabilities enable new possibilities for optimizing lubricant formulations in practice-oriented model-tribometer tests. “Cliff“ testing aims to identify in engine or gear tests the induction time or off-set point (“cliff“) after which wear and friction increased of failure occurred. Explanations for friction and wear increased as well as failures, which occurred during engine tests, can be derived from SRV® testing of oil samples taken or collected at different engine test times and correlating these with their friction, wear and EP data in respect to depleting curves for specific additives or other oil properties. A “cause-root” analysis is done by plotting SRV® data versus functional properties. The collected oil samples must be fully SRV® tested and chemically analyzed.

Several phases, like Nb₄C₃, Nb₆C₅ and other short and long range ordered phases occur In the region of homogeneity of NbCx (0,75≤ x ≤1.0) in the binary phase diagram, which enable the tailoring of properties and offers a much wider process window than known from WC. The type binder (Co, Ni, NiMo) and its concentration as well as the sintering process (SPS, liquid phase sintering) determine the box “hardness-toughness”, which will be illuminated based on more than 100 grades. The impact of these tailored properties on sliding wear (T= 22/400°C; v= 0,1-10 m/s) and cutting performance will be illuminated by tribological and machining results.

Metallsulfide. N2 - Besides carbon, metal sulphides are used in every standard brake pad formulation as friction stabilisers. In order to investigate their impact, various powder mixtures were tribologically stressed in a pin-on-disc device in order to produce and test artificial third bodies. containing the three main components of a real friction film, namely magnetite, graphite and a metal sulphide of interest. Since the sliding behaviour is influenced by the relative humidity the powder mixtures are tested at low, medium and high moisture levels. The tests revealed that the presence of graphite dominates the friction behaviour as well as the humidity sensitivity. The powders were prepared by either manual mixing or high energy ball-milling. Interestingly, all ball-milled blends provided coefficients of friction within the desired range for braking, which was attributed to the effect of zirconia particles from wear debris of the milling balls. The zirconia particles prevent the formation of solid lubricant films on the surfaces and support a homogeneous mixture of all constituents of the powder. Optimum brake performance is gained by an optimum combination of solid lubricants and abrasives. T2 - 57.

The polymer specimens were made to oscillate against steel cylinder as a counterpart. The friction and wear properties of PEI and composites were strongly influenced by the temperature. In case of carbon fiber composite abrasive action of carbon fibers has severely damaged the counterpart and resulted in accelerated wear of the composite at RT. Solid lubricants filled (PTFE, MoS2, graphite) along with glass fiber is beneficial in improving the friction and wear performance of the PEI composite at RT, whereas at elevated temperature wear performance was deteriorated.

In spite of a number of positive features copper usage in brake pad formulations has recently become the subject of considerable discussions, primarily due to concerns about potential risks related to environmental impacts of copper particles. So, for developing new pad formulations with possible replacements of copper content, it is very important to understand the functionality of copper additions to brake friction materials. In the paper theoretical investigation of the role of copper as a pad ingredient was carried out on the basis of modelling by the method of movable cellular automata (MCA). In the study the concentration of copper particles in a Fe3O4-matrix was varied. The sliding simulations were performed while assuming material properties at 500 degrees C in order to assess the beneficial role of copper during severe braking conditions corresponding to fading cycles during dynamometer testing.

The experimental conditions (laser fluence, spatial spot overlap) were optimized in a sample-scanning geometry for the processing of large surface areas covered homogeneously by the nanostructures. The irradiated surface regions were subjected to optical microscopy (OM), white light interference microscopy (WLIM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealing sub-wavelength spatial periods. The nanostructured surfaces were tribologically tested under reciprocal sliding conditions against a sphere of hardened 100Cr6 steel at 1 Hz using paraffin oil and engine oil as lubricants. After 1000 sliding cycles at a load of 1.0 N, the corresponding wear tracks were characterized by OM and SEM. For specific conditions the laser-generated nanostructures endured the tribological treatment. Simultaneously, a significant reduction of the friction coefficient was observed in the laser-irradiated (LIPSS-covered) areas when compared to the non-irradiated surface, indicating the potential benefit of laser surface structuring for tribological applications.

As friction reductions are associated with energy efficiency and wear protection with resource conservation, ever greater attention has been given to adamantine carbon- based coatings and high-alloyed steels. Such applications are, however, associated with high production costs and energy expenditures, as well as many technical difficulties. Therefore a key issue in meeting the goals of friction reduction, wear protection and development of comprehensive lightweight strategies is whether or not the functional profiles of state-of-the art alloys can be enhanced by affordable solutions. The running-in phase of mechanical systems is inevitable and, from a tribological standpoint, critical for the lifetime of such systems, though receives little attention and is poorly understood. The growth of micro-cracks accelerates premature material failure and wear during this phase of heightened friction. With this in mind, the ultimate goal of this current work is to transfer the running-in phase into the final step of the mechanical finishing process through the targeted pre-conditioning of novel, high toughness steel bearings without thermo-chemical treatments and compare these to conventional, case-hardened steels. Two mechanisms were investigated: a. Cold work hardening and b. Chemical tribofilm formation. Steels that showed a tendency toward work hardening and tribofilm formation in previous testing were chosen for this investigation. Thorough characterization of the chosen Steels was carried out before any pre-conditioning techniques were applied. The widely used 20MnCr5, seen as a reference gear steel, underwent case-hardening and subsequent deep freezing treatments in an attempt to yield discrete sample groups with respect to residual austenite. This allowed for a more thorough investigation into the effects of residual austenite on the properties of this material. The high-performance alternative steels, 36NiCrMoV1-5-7 (hot working steel) and 45SiCrMo6 (spring steel), were heat treated as recommended by their respective manufacturers, and were not case-hardened. The selection of materials with and materials without case-hardening allows for an investigation into whether or not case-hardening is even necessary to deliver acceptable friction behaviour and wear performance. Elemental analyses were conducted by multiple methods to ensure accurate results. Residual Austenite contents of the steels and the depth profiles of residual stresses were determined by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), for 20MnCr5 ranging from approximately 6 – 14 vol.%, and under 2 vol.% for the alternative alloys. Hardness profiles were taken from the testing surfaces into the material core. The carburization of 20MnCr5 led to higher hardness and the greater concentration of carbon in the carburization zone more representative of a hardened SAE E52100, or 100Cr6/102Cr6, than of a non-case-hardened 20MnCr5. Residual stresses from machining and case-hardening were measured directly at the sample surface. The high-performance Steels fulfilled manufacturer expectations in terms of elemental content, with hardness values between 50 – 55 HRC and strongly martensitic microstructure character. With characterization of the chosen materials complete, the materials could then be subjected to pre-conditioning. The first pre-conditioning method involved targeted generation of cold work hardening as induced boundary layers to protect the contact zone against wear. Work hardening was identified both by variations in residual stress profiles, i.e. the introduction of beneficial compressive residual stresses, and hardness increases in the contact zone, providing enhanced wear resistance. Parameters for work hardening were further optimized to reduce damage to the surface substrates of the treated materials. The second pre-conditioning method involved the targeted generation of chemically reactive tribolayers (tribofilms) on twin disk testing rigs. The lubrication strategies were based on: a. CaCO3, which is predominant in engine oils, and b. MoDTC, which is commonly used in engine and gear oils. The films generated in pre-conditioning were analyzed by SEM-EDX with Element-Mapping, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS to elucidate their molecular composition and concentration on the sample surfaces. The combination of these methods of analysis gave a clear indication that 104 cycles were sufficient to generate stable and lasting tribofilms. CaO and CaCO3 were the main components of the tribofilm from the first lubricant package, while MoS2, MoO2 and MoO3 were the main components from the second lubricant package. Finally, slip-rolling endurance testing (T = +120 °C, 107 cycles, approximately 19 days in a factory fill engine oil) was carried out on all materials. It was shown that both pre-conditioning methods could achieve significant reductions in friction and wear during testing at up to and including P0Mean =1.94 GPa (P0Max = 2.91 GPa, FN = 2,000 N). Ultimately, this research showed that: 1. non-case-hardened high-performance steels offer competitive wear performance and better friction behaviour than the case-hardened 20MnCr5. 2. pre-conditioning led to COF reductions to under 7/10 and wear coefficient reductions to an astonishing 1/10 of the original values for the untreated steels under mixed/boundary lubrication. 3. the observed improvements to friction behaviour and wear performance are indicative of a technically simple, cost- and energy-efficient pre-conditioning strategy that may prove N2 - Die Automobilindustrie legt im Hinblick auf das Ziel der CO2-Emissionsreduktionen viel Wert auf die Erhöhung des Wirkungsgrades von mechanischen Komponenten durch Leichtbau. Eine Reduzierung der Reibung wirkt sich direkt auf die Energieeffizienz aus, währenddessen eine Verschleißminderung zu Materialeinsparungen führt. Aus diesen Gründen genießen diamantartige, kohlenstoffbasierte Beschichtungen und hochlegierten Stähle derzeit große Aufmerksamkeit. Deren Herstellung ist allerdings sowohl mit einem hohen Energie- und Kostenaufwand verbunden, als auch technisch sehr anspruchsvoll. Zur Erreichung der Ziele der Reibungsminderung, des Verschleißschutzes und der Entwicklung umfassender Leichtbaustrategien ist es daher von großer Bedeutung, ob sich das Leistungsprofil neuartiger Legierungen durch kostengünstigere Lösungen verbessern lässt. Obwohl der mechanische Einlauf aus tribologischer Sicht entscheidend für die Lebensdauer mechanischer Systeme ist, genießt er wenig Aufmerksamkeit und ist bis heute nur begrenzt verstanden. So kann die Ausbreitung von Mikrorissen während dieser Phase der erhöhten Reibung zum vorzeitigen Materialversagen führen. In diesem Sinne war es das oberste Ziel dieser Forschungsarbeit, den Einlauf in die mechanische Endbearbeitung vorzuverlegen. Neuartige Stähle wurden dabei ohne kostenintensive, thermochemische Behandlungen gezielt vorkonditioniert und ihre so verbesserten Eigenschaften mit denen von gängigen Einsatzstählen verglichen. Zu den untersuchten Vorkonditionierungsmechanismen gehören die Erzeugung von: a. Kaltverfestigungen und b. chemischen Tribofilmen. Stähle, die in Vorversuchen eine Zuneigung zur Kaltverfestigung und Tribofilmentstehung, wurden für diese Forschungsarbeit ausgewählt. Die ausgewählten Stähle urden vor jeglicher Vorkonditionierung einer gründlichen, metallurgischen Charakterisierung unterzogen. Der Referenzgetriebestahl 20MnCr5 wurde einsatzgehärtet und in getrennten Gruppen bei verschiedenen Temperaturen tiefgekühlt, um Proben in verschiedenen Nuancen des Restaustenitgehaltes zu erhalten. Damit ließ sich der Einfluss des Restaustenits auf die Materialeigenschaften genauer untersuchen. Die Hochleistungsstähle, 36NiCrMoV1-5-7 (Warmarbeitsstahl) und 45SiCrMo6 (Federstahl), wurden nach den Vorschriften der jeweiligen Hersteller wärmebehandelt, und wurden nicht einsatzgehärtet. Die Auswahl an Stählen, mit und ohne Einsatzhärtung, lässt eine Untersuchung darüber zu, ob eine Einsatzhärtung überhaupt notwendig ist, um gutes Reibungs- und Verschleißverhalten zu erzielen. Elementanalysen wurden mittels mehrerer Methoden zur Gewährleistung der bestmöglichen Genauigkeit der Ergebnisse durchgeführt. Die Restaustenitgehalte der Stähle und Eigenspannungstiefenprofile wurden an einem Röntgendiffraktometer ermittelt. Die Restaustenitgehalte des 20MnCr5 lagen zwischen 6 – 14 Vol.-% und die Restaustenitgehalte der Alternativstähle lagen unter 2 Vol.-%. Härtetiefenprofile wurden auch ermittelt. Die Aufkohlung des 20MnCr5 führte zu einer Steigerung der Härte und der Kohlenstoffkonzentration im Randbereich, sodass dieser Bereich des Stahls eher einem gehärteten SAE 52100, oder 100Cr6/102Cr6, als einem nicht einsatzgehärtetem 20MnCr5 entsprach. Eigenspannungen, die durch die mechanische Endbearbeitung entstanden, wurden direkt unter der Oberfläche detektiert. Die Hochleistungsstähle erfüllten mit Härtewerten zwischen 50 – 55 HRC und ihrem ausgeprägt martensitischen Charakter die Herstellervorgaben. Nach dem Abschluss der metallurgischen Charakterisierung wurden die Stähle vorkonditioniert. Zur ersten Vorkonditionierungsmethode gehörte die Erzeugung gezielter Kaltverfestigungen an Zweischeibenprüfständen in der Form von induzierten Grenzschichten, die die Randschicht gegen Verschleiß schützen. Die Wirksamkeit dieser Vorkonditionierung wurde anhand der Zunahme der vorteilhaften Druckeigenspannungen und der Steigerung der Oberflächenhärte nachgewiesen. Beide Eigenschaften verleihen den Stählen eine erhöhte Verschleißbeständigkeit. In einem weiteren Schritt wurden die Vorkonditionierungsparameter zur Erzeugung von Kaltverfestigung optimiert, um die evtl. Deformierung der Substratoberflächen abzumildern. In einer alternativen, zweiten Vorkonditionierung wurden zwei verschiedene Schmierstoffkonzepte implementiert, um an den Zweischeibenprüfständen chemisch reaktive Triboschichten (Tribofilme) zu generieren. Die Schmierstoffkonzepte basierten auf: a. CaCO3, was überwiegend in Motorenölen eingesetzt wird und b. MoDTC, was häufig in Motoren- und Getriebeölen eingesetzt wird. Die durch die Vorkonditionierung erzeugten Tribofilme wurden mittels REM-EDX mit Element- Mapping, Raman-Spektroskopie und XPS analysiert, um ihre molekulare Zusammensetzung und Oberflächenkonzentration zu ermitteln. Der Tribofilm aus dem ersten Schmiermittel bestand hauptsächlich aus CaO und CaCO3 und der Tribofilm aus dem zweiten Schmiermittel bestand hauptsächlich aus MoS2, MoO2 und MoO3. Aus diesen Analysen wurde ersichtlich, dass 104 Laufzyklen zur Generierung stabiler und beständiger Tribofilme vollkommen ausreichend sind. Anschließend wurden alle Stähle in Dauerwälzversuchen (T = +120 °C, 107 Zyklen, etwa 19 Tage in einem Erstbefüllungsmotorenöl) in ihrem Reibungs- und Verschleißverhalten untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, dass durch vorkonditionierte Kaltverfestigungen oder durch vorkonditionierte Tribofilme die Reibung und der Verschleiß in Wälzkontakten bei Dauerwälzen bis P0Mean =1,94 GPa (P0Max = 2,91 GPa, FN = 2.000 N) signifikant erniedrigt werden können. Im Endeffekt wurde in dieser Arbeit gezeigt, dass: 1. nicht einsatzgehärtete Hochleistungsstähle konkurrenzfähig zu dem einsatzgehärteten 20MnCr5 sind. 2. die Vorkonditionierungen zu einer Senkung des Reibungskoeffizienten bis auf 7/10 und zu einer Senkung des Verschleißkoeffizienten bis auf 1/10 der Koeffizienten der nicht vorkonditionierten Stähle unter Misch-/Grenzreibungsbedingungen führten. 3. die Verbesserungen des Reibungs- und Verschleißverhaltens auf eine technisch einfache, energie- und kosteneffiziente Vorkonditionierungsstrategie weisen, die noch bestehende thermochemische Behandlungen ersetzen könnte.

T1 - Tailoring the functional properties of niobium carbide N2 - Several phases, like Nb₄C₃, Nb₆C₅ and other short and long range ordered phases occur in the region of homogeneity of NbCₓ (0,75≤ x ≤1.0) in the binary phase diagram. Properties, like micro-hardness, hot hardness, sliding wear resistance, elastic modulus and toughness can be tailored by the C/Nb ratio, the addition of secondary carbides and the type of binder. Supporting results from different grades with varying C/Nb ratio or binder types were illuminated. Thus, the NbC system offers to producers a wider process window, than WC. The impact of These tailored properties on sliding wear and cutting performance was illuminated by tribological and machining results. Niobium is today largely available. NbC can be synthesized by carbothermal conversion of Nb₂O₅ or be metallurgically grown and leached out, provides comparably low friction in many relevant tribo-contacts and displays low wear. NbC and Nb₂O₅ have so far no REACH classification related to human toxicology and are not listed as substances of very high concern contrary to WO₃ and Co₃O₄.

T1 - The role of solid lubricants for brake friction materials JF - Lubricants special issue "tribofilms and solid lubrication" N2 - This review article comprises of three parts. Firstly, reports of brake manufacturers on the beneficial impact of solid lubricants for pad formulations are surveyed. Secondly, since tribofilms were identified to play a crucial role in friction stabilization and wear reduction, the knowledge about tribofilm structures formed during automotive braking was reviewed comprehensively. Finally, a model for simulating the sliding behavior of tribofilms is suggested and a review on modelling efforts with different model structures related to real tribofilms will be presented. Although the variety of friction composites involved in commercial brake systems is very broad, striking similarities were observed in respect to tribofilm nanostructures. Thus a generalization of the tribofilm nanostructure is suggested and prerequisites for smooth sliding performance and minimal wear rates have been identified. A minimum of 13 vol.% of soft inclusions embedded in an iron oxide based tribofilm is crucial for obtaining the desired properties. As long as the solid lubricants or their reaction products are softer than magnetite, the main constituent of the tribofilm, the model predicts smooth sliding and a minimum of wear.

A1 - Woydt, Mathias T1 - Densification and tribological profile of niobium oxide JF - Wear N2 - The origin of the intrinsic wear resistance of NbC-based materials is investigated through an assessment of the tribological performance of fully dense, crack-free spark plasma sintered Nb2O5 (here as a reduced polymorph: monoclinic Nb12O29 or NbO2.416). The most likely wear mechanism on NbC is the tribo-oxidation to Nb2O5. The unlubricated (dry) friction and wear behavior of alumina (99.7%) mated against rotating disks of crack-free niobium(V)oxide (Nb2O5) under unidirectional sliding (0.03–10m/s; 22°C and 400°C) and oscillation (f=20 Hz, dx=200 mm, 2/50/98% rel. humidity, n=105/106 cycles) will be presented. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the crack-free Nb2O5 are assessed. The tribological data obtained are benchmarked with different NbC grades, ceramics, cermets and thermally sprayed coatings.

A1 - Krüger, Jörg T1 - Tribological performance of sub-100-nm femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures on titanium JF - Applied Surface Science N2 - Sub-100-nm laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were processed on bulk titanium (Ti) surfaces by femtosecond laser pulse irradiation in air (30 fs pulse duration, 790 nm wavelength). The laser peak fluence, the spatial spot overlap, and the number of overscans were optimized in a sample-scanning geometry in order to obtain large surface areas (5 mm × 5 mm) covered homogeneously by the LIPSS. The laser-processed regions were characterized by optical microscopy (OM), white light interference microscopy (WLIM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The friction coefficient of the nanostructured surfaces was tested during 1000 cycles under reciprocal sliding conditions (1 Hz, 1.0 N normal load) against a 10-mm diameter ball of hardened 100Cr6 steel, both in paraffin oil and in engine oil used as lubricants. Subsequently, the corresponding wear tracks were qualified by OM, SEM, and energy dispersive X-ray analyses (EDX). The results of the tribological tests are discussed and compared to that obtained for near wavelength-sized fs-LIPSS, processed under somewhat different irradiation conditions. Some constraints for a beneficial effect of LIPSS on the tribological performance are provided.
