This paper presents a dry sliding tribo-couple (DLC/monolithic oxide ceramics), where the tribological quantities are more or less in a wide ränge independent of the sliding speed. The DLC film is composed of a specific mixture of sp3 /sp2 hybridized carbon. Self-mated ceramic/ceramic couples of MgO-Zr02, alpha-AI203 or SSiC are with their coefficients of friction above 0.45 not so lubricious, whereas the coefficients of friction of the tribocouples MgO-Zr02/DLC and alpha-AbOVDLC ranged between 0.075 and 0.15 under dry sliding. The coefficients of friction for these tribo-couples tend to decrease with increase sliding speed from 0.03 m/s to 6 m/s. The dry wear rates of the thin film is low (<10‘7 mm3/Nm) and perfectly independent from sliding velocity.

Zero wear (Null Verschleiß)

Recent developments in contact mechanics and microfribology have shown that it is very important to study surface modification effects for quantification of „Zero wear“ (plastic deformation of upper parts of asperities) during sliding friction. The present work considers experimental and Simulation data on the Formation of elastic and plastic contact areas during sliding friction on rough surfaces. The Simulation of discrete contact was carried out using as a source the AFMimages of real surface topography at micro/nanoscale.
The approach for quantification of „zero wear“, proposed here, is not using common Statistical Parameters of roughness, but it considers contact areas on asperities.
In these areas some regions are undergoing plastic deformation which influences surface Transformation during sliding friction. Also, the workhardening effect was taken into account in the Simulation
of sliding friction. This enabled a rnore successful fit of experimental data. The results obtained of the Computer simulations will provide a way of studying friction force at the initial stage of the running-in process.
Three different contact geometries, ball on disk and two different settings with crossed cylinders have been investigated with regard to the agreement of the results of the tribological quantities determined by each method. The material combination was α-alumina as upper specimen and steel 100Cr6 as lower specimen. For each of the contact geometries 5 independent measurements were carried out and evaluated independently. The agreement between the single results of coefficient of friction and the coefficient of system wear as well as between the different groups and conditions are good. Largest scatter of the results were found in the dry air regime where both friction and wear depend strongly on the relative humidity. However, comparison of the absolute values of the coefficient of wear between the ball on disk contact geometry on one side and the 2 crossed cylinder contact geometries on the other side reveals a significant difference in that the ball on disk results are lower by about a factor of two. The results document also a high degree of repeatability of single wear tests.
Wear of thin steel wires

Ceramics are of increasing interest for application in many branches of technique. In order to improve the tribological performance of ceramic materials, composites on the basis of silicon carbide with different amounts of titanium carbide, boron carbide, titanium diboride and free carbon in the form of graphite were manufactured by a reaction sintering process.
The friction and wear behaviour of these composites was investigated with oscillating sliding motion in unlubricated tests at room temperature on different levels of relative humidity. Additional tests were performed under water lubrication, revealing the superior behaviour of composites for special test conditions. A major influence of the free carbon on friction or wear behaviour was not observed. The tribological behaviour in air as well as under water is mainly dependant on the amount of titanium phases.
An extended study on tribological properties of carbon nitride coatings under oscillating sliding conditions has been carried out. The coatings were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering with graphite target using nitrogen as reactive gas in an argon/nitrogen atmosphere during the deposition process to deposit carbon nitride, CNx. Coating thickness was about 2 µm. A 200300 nm thick Ti interlayer was used to enhance adhesion. The nitrogen flow during the deposition was varied to control the amount of nitrogen in the coating. Maximum amount of N-content was about 28 at%, achieved at a maximum N2 flow rate. Other deposition parameters were target to substrate distance, substrate temperature during deposition and bias voltage. The results show a large variation of hardness depending mainly on the nitrogen content and bias voltage. Higher bias voltage produced harder coatings as did lower nitrogen content. The tribological properties were tested unlubricated and lubricated by paraffin oil under gross slip fretting conditions at room temperature against alumina as counter material. Most coatings, but not all, showed a more or less pronounced dependence of wear on relative humidity with wear rates from 10-5 to 10-6 mm3/Nm. The best coatings with regard to a low wear rate and the least dependence upon relative humidity were carbon nitride coatings deposited at elevated substrate temperatures up to 350 °C. The wear resistance of these coatings was increased under the most severe conditions by about one order of magnitude. The results are discussed on the basis of a transfer layer formation. The results show clearly that wear is not significantly correlated to the coating hardness which itself is strongly dependant on the nitrogen content. However, under lubricated conditions with paraffin oil, wear rates were generally very low with wear coefficients at about 10-8 mm3/Nm.
Self-mated magnesia stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) ceramic sliding couples have been investigated at 100 N load (P0max= 1324 MPa) in oscillating sliding conditions in different humidity conditions in air and in hot steam. Temperatures have been varied up to 400 °C and pressures up to 6 bars. The results show that the wear behavior of MgO-ZrO2 under high Hertzian contact pressures is strongly dependent on temperature and is similar for both dry oscillating and oscillating in hot steam. However, although the evolution in wear rates on temperature is similar and the wear rates of MgO-ZrO2 plunged above 300 °C in hot steam and air by nearly three orders of magnitude, SEM micrographs revealed in hot steam at 400 °C smooth wear tracks. In contrast, hot steam enhanced the tribochemistry of self-mated alumina couples and reduced wear rates. Hot steam decreased the coefficients of friction of MgO-ZrO2 with increasing temperature, but not the wear rates.
The tribological behavior of different low infrared (IR) emission ceramic materials from the titanate group has been investigated at room temperature under gross slip fretting conditions against 100Cr6 ball bearing steel and α-alumina as the counterface materials. For all material pairs, friction and wear depended largely on the relative humidity of the environment. When paired with steel the low IR-emission ceramic disks showed higher wear resistance. Under dry conditions, almost no wear was found on the low IR-emission ceramic specimen. The high wear on the steel counter body is caused not only by tribo-oxidation, which is the main wear mechanism, but also by abrasion. In dry conditions a COF of 0.6 and in humid conditions a COF of 0.2 have been measured. When paired with α-alumina the results on wear are just opposite to those with steel counterbody and the low IR-emission ceramic materials show much lower wear resistance under all conditions. This is explained by the predominance of abrasion and the relatively large difference in hardness between the low IR-emission ceramic and α-alumina. In high humidity environments the results point to the formation of stable reaction layers causing lower friction and wear.
Im Vortrag wird neben der apparativen Prüftechnik das allgemeine methodische Vorgehen für Modell-Verschleißuntersuchungen im Bereich des partial slip vorgestellt. Im Detail wird für Dental-Implantat-Werkstoffe eine Rangfolge aufgestellt, die vergleichend die Verschleißresistenz unterschiedlicher Ti-basierter Werkstoffe zeigt. Wird durch die Kaubewegung eine mehrachsige Beanspruchung in die Kontaktflächen der Schraubverbindung eingeleitet, kann durch partial slip im Randbereich dieser Kontaktfläche ein Verschleißprozess initiiert werden, der die Lockerung des Implantats begünstigt. Eine gute Verschleißresistenz verhindert oder schiebt die vorzeitige Lockerung hinaus.
Um das Werkstoffverhalten in Bezug auf eine vorzeitige Lockerung der Implantatkrone bei geschraubten zweiteiligen Implantaten zu charakterisieren, wurden zylindrische Probekörper unter partial slip Fretting-Bedingungen mit Zyklenzahlen bis n = 200 000 beansprucht. Die Frequenz der aufgebrachten Tangentialkraft betrug 2 Hz, um die Kaubewegung zu simulieren.
Die tribologischen Untersuchungen wurden auf einem Eigenbau-Tribometer mit der Kontaktgeometrie „gekreuzte Zylinder“ durchgeführt. Die zylindrischen Proben wurden aus den Werkstoffen Titan Grade 4 und der Ti-Legierung Ti6AI4V gefertigt. Ein Teil dieser Ti-basierten Proben wurde oberflächengehärtet. Die bisher erzielten Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die oberflächenbehandelten Proben dazu neigen, unter der Belastung die Kontaktfläche zu vergrößern. Dies deutet auf einen Effekt bekannt als „junction growth“ und damit auf eine erhöhte Versetzungsbeweglichkeit der randschichtgehärteten Proben hin. Einen Einfluss der Zwischenstoffe konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden.
Untersucht wurden Verschleißpartikel als elektronen-transparente Proben auf dünnen Trägerfolien mit einem hochauflösendem Rasterelektronenmikroskop und energiedispersiver Röntgenspektrometrie im Transmissionsmodus. Die hohe laterale Auflösung dieser modernen Methoden ermöglicht eine morphologische Charakterisierung der Verschleißpartikel bis in den nm-Bereich. Die hochauflösende Elementanalyse erlaubt eine Interpretation der Zusammensetzung und damit Rückschlüsse auf die Verschleißpartikelbildung.
Die tribologischen Untersuchungen sind an einem Modell-Verschleißtribometer nach DIN 51834-2 geschmiert, aber ohne Ölkreislauf, durchgeführt worden. Die Präparation der Verschleißpartikel über eine Entnahme und Übertragung einer geringen Schmierstoffmenge mit einer Mikropipette auf eine TEM-Trägerfolie ist mit einem geringen Aufwand möglich. Der präparative Aufwand ist relativ gering. Das benötigte Schmierstoffvolumen beträgt wenige Mikroliter (0,001ml).
Die Untersuchung zeigt die geringe geometrische Größe der Verschleißpartikel und bestätigt indirekt die These der Reaktionsschichtbildung mit einer geringen Schichtdicke, die ständig verschleißt und sich stetig neu bildet. Die beschriebenen Verschleißprozesse sind in der Modell-Verschleiß-Prüfung mit sehr hohen Pressungen am Versuchsbeginn nachweisbar.

Die Verschleißbeträge können im nm-Bereich quantifiziert werden durch die Berechnung eines Mittelwert-Profils.
Grundlage dieser Berechnung ist die hochauflösende Erfassung der 3D-Topographiedaten, die tribologisch beanspruchte
und nichtbeanspruchte Oberflächenbereiche gleichermaßen beinhalten. Ein bestimmtes Messverfahren
(taktil oder optisch) wird nicht favorisiert. Die vertikale Auflösung des Messverfahrens sollte im nm-Bereich
liegen.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wear rates can be quantified in the nm range by calculating a mean profile. Based on this calculation is the
high-resolution recording of the 3D topography data containing tribologically worn and unworn surface areas
alike. A specific measurement method (tactile or visual) is not favored. The vertical resolution of the measurement
process should be in the nm range.
Tribology of Advanced Ceramics III: Principles of solid lubrication - materials and mechanisms
(2002)
The wear rates of self-mated alumina couples show that friction as well as wear is largely determined by the above-mentioned hydro-thermal conditions. The presence of water and its amount available in the surrounding system either in liquid or in gaseous form plays a key role for friction and wear behavior and can be beneficial for the tribological profile of steam degradation resistant materials. Hot steam enhances the tribo-chemical formations of oxides and hydroxides on MgO-ZrO2 alumina and antimony impregnated carbon.
Tribologische Prüfungen als begleitende Maßnahme zur Entwicklung von keramischen Tribowerkstoffen
(1999)
With respect to their excellent material properties ceramics are of interest as candidate materials for tribological applications. The friction and wear behaviour of ceramics is often superior to that of metallic materials. Furthermore, an essential improvement of tribological performance will be possible by tailoring of ceramics in the process of powder preparation and sintering technique. Silicon Carbide (SiC) shows interesting friction and wear behaviour at room temperature, even under unlubricated running conditions but is very sensitive against effects of environmental humidity and shows high friction and high wear in the absence of water vapour. The tribological performance of SiC can be improved considerably by adding substantial amounts of TiC and TiB2 to the microstructure thus creating ceramic particulate composite materials.
Various composites in the quasi ternary system SiC-TiC-TiB2 were prepared by a ceramic manufacturing process including sintering temperatures up to 2180 °C. Comparative tribo tests were performed under unlubricated oscillating sliding motion in dry, normal, and moist air and under water lubrication with SiC balls and Al2O3 balls as counter bodies. The friction is affected by the relative humidity (RH) but barely at all by the composition of the composites. The wear resistance of the composites was found to be improved considerably by addition of TiB2 in the range from 20 to 60 %. The highest wear resistance of the system wear was found when Al2O3 was used as counter body material.
Tribological studies on neat polyetherketone (PEK) and glass fiber reinforced PEK composite were carried out at room and elevated temperature (120 °C). The objective of this study was to characterize for friction and wear properties under dry reciprocating sliding condition at different experimental conditions. The polymer specimens were made to oscillate against steel cylinder as a counterpart. This kind of contact condition are frequently found in bushes, sliding bearing, electronic parts, seals, etc. The friction and wear behavior of neat PEK and composite was quite different at room temperature and elevated temperature. It was observed that glass fiber reinforcement is beneficial in controlling the wear of PEK matrix at room temperature than at elevated temperature. The test results are discussed by considering the surface properties i.e. material removal and film transfer formation. Scanning electron micrographs and optical micrographs of the worn polymer and steel cylinder was used to study the wear mechanisms.
The friction and wear properties of polyetherimide composites under dry oscillating sliding condition at room temperature (RT) as well as at elevated temperature (120 °C) was investigated. 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.
The friction and wear behaviour of a new developed, pressureless sintered TiB2 ceramic was studied in comparison to SiC against SiC and Al2O3 balls under unlubricated conditions at room temperature. Special attention was paid to the influence of relative humidity on friction and wear results. For both ceramics the coefficient of friction against both ball materials decreases with increasing humidity and is higher in tests against alumina than against SiC. The wear rate is affected significantly by humidity and decreases by one order of magnitude for Al2O3/SiC system and by 2 orders of magnitude for SiC/SiC system. For TiB2 wear rates are nearly not affected by humidity against both ball materials and are much smaller than for SiC.
