The friction and wear behaviour of SiC, Si3N4 and SiC/Si3N4 composite ceramics were investigated with oscillating sliding (gross slip fretting) at room temperature. The influence of counter body material and the humidity of the surrounding air was studied with a ball-on-disc configuration with different ball materials (1000Cr6, Al2O3 SiC and Si3N4). The effect of RH on friction is marginal with exception of SiC (low friction) as counter body material. The wear behaviour, however, is strongly affected by humidity, showing inverse trends for different counter body materials. Consequently, the wear behaviour of a tribo couple can be improved by selecting an adequate mating material. The results reveal the necessity to control RH in tribological tests. For estimation of the performance of tribo couples under varying environmental conditions, a variation of RH is required. In tribo couples with single phase SiC, either as ball or disc, the tribological behaviour of the system is dominated by SiC. The friction behaviour of the composite material is in between the behaviour of the two single phase materials, Si3N4 and SiC, whereas the wear behaviour is very similar to that of single phase Si3N4.
The results presented in this paper have clarified experimentally, that titania-based Magnéli-phases (Ti4O7/Ti5O9 and Ti6O11) with (121)-shear planes exhibit more anti-wear properties than lubricious (low-frictional) properties. The results for dry sliding indicate that the coefficients of friction lie in the range of 0.10.6 depending on sliding speed and ambient temperature. The COF decreased with increasing temperature (T= 22800°C) and increasing sliding speed (?= 1-6 m/s). The dry sliding wear rate was lowest for the Al2O3 at 1 m/s at 800°C with values of 1.7 × 10-8 and 6.4 × 10-8 mm3/N m, comparable to boundary/mixed lubrication, associated with a high dry frictional power loss of 30 W/mm2. The running-in wear length and, more important, the wear rate decreased under oscillating sliding tests with increasing relative humidity. The contact pressure for high-/low-wear transition increased under oscillating sliding tests with increasing relative humidity. At room temperature and a relative humidity of 100% the steady-state wear rate under dry oscillating sliding for the couple Al2O3/Ti4O7Ti5O9 was lower than 2 × 10-7 mm3/N m and therefore inferior to the resolution of the continuous wear measurement sensor. TEM of wear tracks from oscillating sliding revealed at room temperature a work-hardening as mechanism to explain the running-in behavior and the high wear resistance. The hydroxylation of titania surfaces favours the high-/low-wear transition.
To investigate the influence of metal sulphides in brake pads, powder mixtures with up to three components were tribologically stressed in a pin-on-disc device under different levels of relative humidity. The tests revealed that each metal sulphide causes significant differences in resulting coefficients of friction as well in their sensitivity to humidity, so that only one solid lubricant cannot stabilise the friction behaviour during braking in different environments.
A study on metal sulphides in tribofilms of modelled brake wear debris under variable humidity
(2017)
Metal sulphides are needed in brake pad formulations in addition to graphite to compensate the influence of different environments. The sensitivity to humidity differs a lot for each single constituent. Only one component is not sufficient for stabilising the COF and it is also necessary to add more components than only one metal sulphide to graphite. Furthermore, a good mixing process inside the third body during braking is necessary to prevent formation of solid lubricant films which are detrimental for braking. Nevertheless, not every metal sulphide acts as a solid lubricant but most of them have the ability for stabilizing the friction coefficient.
The effects of weathering exposure on unfilled and filled thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) materials are described as performed under different humidity conditions. For this purpose, a weathering device was used with UV-A 340 nm lamps at a constant temperature of 40 °C. The effects of environmental (UV and humidity condition) degradation on the frictional properties of TPU materials are presented along with surface analyses to characterize the chemistry of the degradative process. Photooxidative degradation of unfilled polymer leads to deterioration of physical and mechanical properties, which affects its tribological behavior significantly. Due to crosslinking, the stiffness of the material increases, reducing drastically the friction coefficient of unfilled TPUs. The frictional behavior of glass fiber reinforced TPU is less affected by radiation.
We report, to our knowledge, for the first time on humidity-induced Brillouin frequency shifts in perfluorinated graded index polymer optical fibers. A linear relation between Brillouin frequency shift and humidity was observed. Furthermore, the humidity coefficient of the Brillouin frequency shift is demonstrated to be a function of temperature (-107 to -64 kHz/%r.h. or -426 to -49 kHz m3/g in the range of 20 to 60 °C). An analytical description proves temperature and humidity as two mutually independent effects on the Brillouin frequency shift.
In this paper perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers are characterized with respect to the influence of relative humidity changes on spectral transmission absorption and Rayleigh backscattering. The hygroscopic and thermal expansion coefficient of the fiber are determined to be CHE = (7.4 +/- 0.1) 10^-6 %r.h.^-1 and CTE = (22.7 +/- 0.3) 10^-6 K^-1, respectively. The influence of humidity on the Brillouin backscattering power and linewidth are presented for the first time to our knowledge. The Brillouin backscattering power at a pump wavelength of 1319 nm is affected by temperature and humidity. The Brillouin linewidth is observed to be a function of temperature but not of humidity. The strain coefficient of the BFS is determined to be CS = (146.5 +/- 0.9) MHz/% for a wavelength of 1319 nm within a strain range from 0.1 % to 1.5 %. The obtained results demonstrate that the humidity-induced Brillouin frequency shift is predominantly caused by the swelling of the fiber over-cladding that leads to fiber straining.
We compare four different sensing solutions suitable for distributed fiber optic humidity sensing in per uorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (PFGI-POFs). Compared to silica fbers, polymer optical fibers over advantageous beneffits including signifficantly higher break down strain, fracture toughness and humidity sensitivity. Various humidity-related effects in PFGI-POFs have been reported in the last years including measured attenuation and length changes as well as Brillouin frequency and Bragg wavelength shifts. The four aforementioned methods could serve as a basis for distributed and quasi-distributed humidity sensing and are described here closely with an emphasis on plausible cross effects to temperature and strain. The main focus of this paper lies on the comparison of four approaches with regard to method complexity, sensitivity to humidity, spatial resolution, real-time capability and effort to compensate for cross effects.

Stick-slip and wear behavior of ceramic and polymer materials under reciprocating sliding conditions
(2013)
In many technical applications not only the actual friction coefficient is of importance, but rather the constancy relevant for the functionality. Due to inconstant ffiction values, positioning processes can be substantially influenced as well as vibrations can be induced. The appearance of this tribological effect, named stick-slip, depends on different factors such as sliding speed, relative humidity and ambient temperature occurring primarily after long operating periods. Beside ambient conditions the choice of materials in contact is the main influencing factor of an inconstant coefficient of friction during operating. Certain polymers are well known for their stick-slip tendencies in technical applications. These are on the one hand different modifications of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) reinforced with glass fibers, bronze or graphite and on the other hand thermoplastics such as PE (polyester) or Pf (polyimide). The difference between static and dynamic values of the ffiction force is decisive for stick-slip phenomena. Furthermore, the stick-slip tendency of polymers strongly depends on the elastic material properties. Main softening material areas, which can be found in the contact, represent particularly vulnerable areas. The high friction value in the contact area decreases in most cases by increasing sliding speeds. However, beside polymers ceramic materials can also offer tendencies to stick-slip motion. Klaffke et al. already investigated the influence of ceramic materials on the stick-slip behavior in.
