The slip-rolling resistances of hard and stiff thin films under high Hertzian contact pressures can be improved by optimizing the 'coating/substrate systems'. It is known from former investigations that the so-called 'egg-shell' effect is no general hindrance for high slip-rolling resistance of thin hard coatings. The coating stability depends more on specific deposition process and coating/substrate interface design. In this article it is experimentally shown, that pure amorphous carbon thin films with hardness between 15 and 63 GPa can be slip-rolling resistant several million load cycles under a maximum Hertzian contact pressures of up to 3.0 GPa. Whereas all coatings were stable up to 10 million load cycles in paraffin oil at room temperature, reduced coating lifetime was found in SAE 0W-30 engine oil at 120°C. It was shown how the coating hardness and the initial coating surface roughness influence the running-in process and coating lifetime. No clear correlation between coating hardness and coating lifetime could be observed, but friction coefficients seem to be reduced with higher coating hardness. Very low friction down to ~0.03 in unmodified engine oils was found for the hardest ta-C film.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Die Wälzbeständigkeit von harten und steifen Dünnschichten unter hohen Hertzschen Kontaktpressungen kann durch die Optimierung des 'Beschichtung/Substrat Systems' deutlich verbessert werden. Aus vorangegangenen Untersuchungen ist bekannt, dass der so genannte 'Eierschaleneffekt' kein generelles Hindernis für eine hohe Wälzbeständigkeit für harte Dünnschichten darstellen muss. Die Stabilität der Beschichtungen hängt vielmehr von dem spezifischen Prozessparametern und dem Schicht/Substrat Grenzflächendesign ab. In diesem Artikel wird experimentell nachgewiesen, dass reine amorphe Kohlenstoffdünnschichten mit Härtewerten zwischen 15 und 63 GPa für mehrere Millionen Lastzyklen unter maximalen Hertzschen Kontaktpressungen bis 3.0 GPa überrollbeständig sein können. Während alle Beschichtungen bis 10 Millionen Lastzyklen in Paraffinöl bei Raumtemperatur keine Defekte aufweisen wurde unter Verwendung eines SAE 0W-30 Motorenöls bei 120°C eine Verringerung der Überrollbeständigkeit nachgewiesen. Es wurde nachgewiesen, wie die Schichthärte und ursprüngliche Oberflächenrauheit der Beschichtung den Einlaufprozess und die Lebensdauer beeinflussen. Es konnte keine offensichtliche Korrelation zwischen Schichthärte und Lebensdauer festgestellt werden, allerdings wurde eine scheinbare Reduktion des Reibwertes mit steigender Schichthärte beobachtet werden. Dabei zeigte die härteste ta-C Schicht unter Verwendung des Motorenöls sehr geringe Reibwerte mit ~0.03.
In order to reduce experimental effort, tribological tests are performed for coating selection, simulating the friction, wear and scuffing behaviour between the piston ring and cylinder liner, as well as lubricant evaluation. The creation of test standards in piston ring/cylinder liner simulation is discussed. PVD coatings, HVOF coatings and nitriding treatments have been applied to piston rings as alternative for chromium coatings. CrN/TiN coating seems very effective for increasing the wear and scuffing resistance. Biodegradable engine oils based on esters and polyglycols reduce friction and exceed the wear resistance of reference engine oils based on hydrocarbons for the new generation engines with high cylinder pressures.
Testing friction and wear of the tribosystem piston ring and cylinder liner outside of engines
(2008)
An OEM-driven working group started in January 2004 to elaborate the philosophies, concepts and test procedures for testing piston ring and cylinder liner materials as well as engine oils outside of engines using the SRV (abbreviation for German: Schwingung, Reibung, Verschleiß; in English: Oscillation, Friction, Wear) test equipment. The different SRV test philosophies in use by OEMs are compiled. The working group focuses on (i) ASTM fuel economy sequence by ageing oils; (ii) friction and wear in the top-dead-centre region under mixed/boundary lubrication; (iii) extreme pressure load under mixed/boundary lubrication; and (iv) hydrodynamic friction. Tribological test results and precision data are presented.
A novel tribometer has been designed using commercially available components for sliding motion at 40kHz with amplitude between 2.5 and 5µm. The tribometer is equipped with means to measure amplitude, frequency, power required to keep the sample in motion and load applied. The effective motion between the two contacting bodies is monitored. These data are used to evaluate the coefficient of friction. The wear rate was determined after the tests. The set-up was tested using novel, non-commercial substrates such as AlFeCrTi-alloys and tungsten carbide-based coatings as well as Magnéli-type coatings (Tin-2Cr2O2n-1 and TinO2n-1). This paper presents the principle of the ultra-high frequency tribometer and first tribological quantities of materials and coatings tested.
The use of alternative base oils, like esters or polyglycols, with more intrinsic properties for the lubrication of automobile engines has a potential for ecological and technical advantages. Being in competition with hydrocarbon-based formulations, detailed knowledge of several thermophysical and viscometric properties as well as tribological properties over a large temperature range are required (mapping). The tested polymer-free polyglycols and ester-based formulations displayed no visible tribological weaknesses regarding wear resistance and EP-behavior as well as offering significant advantages in order to meet metal- and ash-free and bio-no-tox criteria. Especially the formulated polyglycols without friction modifiers also showed an intrinsic retention of low coefficients of friction and a hydrodynamic film forming behavior comparable to hydrocarbon-based factory-fill oils. The wear resistance and EP-behavior of low-additivated polyglycols, but also of esters, can be enhanced by means of triboactive materials. Lubricious oxides or triboactive materials and polar base oils, or a combination thereof, may substitute the EP and AW properties realized by the additives, thus enabling long drains and responding to eco-tox or bio-no-tox requirements as well as restrictions from the chemical box.
Zero wear (Null Verschleiß)
(2013)
Wälzbeständigkeit von ta-C Dünnschichten unter hohen Hertzschen Beanspruchungen bis zu 3000 MPa
(2010)
Downsizing (power-to-weight ratio) and higher speeds lead to a rise in Hertzian contact pressures in combination with an increase in surface or oil temperatures. Under such conditions, commonly used bearing steels, such as 100Cr6, reach their limits, creating a demand for alternative slip-rolling resistant steel alloys. The present work therefore compares the slip-rolling performance of various steel types with Maraging- and PM-type steel alloys such as e.g. CSS-42L™, ASP2012, BIMAX42+, in the Hertzian contact pressure range up to P0max of 4 GPa. Through-hardened 100Cr6H (AISI 52100), case-hardened 20MnCr5 (AISI 5120H) and nitrogen alloyed Croni-dur30 (AMS 5898) still compete in terms of slip-rolling and wear resistance and load carrying capacity, whereas Maraging- and PM-type steel alloys offer superior strength and toughness properties.
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.
Hydraulic oils are well established formulations developed around the pump test. 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.
In the state-of-the-art technology, the impact of additives on friction and wear is evaluated in recipes with fixed concentrations. 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.
Substituting tungsten carbide (WC) as cutting tools and for wear protection by niobium carbide (NbC)
(2016)
As a refractory carbide, niobium carbide (NbC) is today still a forgotten carbide with hidden properties, such as wear resistance, thus qualifying NbC for the group of tribological materials with enhanced wear resistance. 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. Cutting test results under emulsion and coolant-free operation of cobalt and Fe3Al bonded, straight NbC versus WC based inserts against different alloys (C60, 100Cr6, 42CrMo4, X90CrMoV18, 300WA, GG35) will be highlighted.
We review contact mechanics with emphasis on the rheological (time dependent) properties of polymers and their relations to surface roughness, material properties, and friction as well as wear behavior of rubbing polymer surfaces. The main concept of polymer mechanics related to tribology consists of three basic elements involved in friction: deformation resulting in the real area of contact of rough surfaces, contact adhesion, and shear and rupture of materials in the contact during the sliding friction. The results of classical work are included, which addresses the real contact area calculation and the description of adhesion interaction between rough surfaces. A brief review of experimental investigations concerning the surface characterization by means of bearing curves, the intermolecular force interaction using the adhesion parameter, the effect of temperature on the real contact area, the formation of transferred polymer film during friction, and tribological behavior of ultrathin polymer layers are presented and their implications discussed.
The tribological profile of rotating disks made in binder-less niobium Carbide (hot-pressed NbC) and cobalt-bonded NbCs (NbC-8Co and NbC-12Co) mated against alumina (99.7%) were determined under unidirectional sliding tests (0.1 m/s to 8.0 m/s; 22°C and 400°C) as well as in oscillation tests (f= 20 Hz, Ax= 0.2 mm, 2/50/98% rel. humidity, n= 105/l 06 cycles) under unlubricated (dry) conditions. In addition, the microstructure and mechanical properties of HPNbCl and NbC bonded with 8 vol.-% and 12 vol.-% cobalt were determined as well. The tribological data obtained were benchmarked with different ceramics, cermets, hard metals and thermally sprayed coatings, where the NbCs bonded with 8% and 12% Co presented above 7 m/s the lowest wear rates so far in such a bench mark. HP-NbCl, NbC-8Co and NbC-12Co exhibited low wear rates under dry sliding associated with PV high load carrying capacities. The tribological profile established revealed a strong position of NbC bearing materials under tribological considerations and for closed tribo-systems against traditional references.
The tribological and mechanical properties of niobium carbides (NbC) bonded with cobalt of Fe3Al
(2014)
The tribological and mechanical properties of niobium carbide bonded with 8 vol.-% (NbC-8Co), 12 vol.-% of cobalt (NbC-12Co) or 12 vol.-% of Fe3Al (NbC-12Fe3Al) are presented. Rotating discs made of metal-bonded niobium carbide were mated against alumina (99.7%) under unlubricated (dry) unidirectional sliding tests (0.1 m/s to 12.0 m/s; 22 °C and 400 C) as well as in oscillation tests (f=20 Hz, Δx=0.2 mm, 2/50/98% rel. humidity, n=105/106 cycles). Microstructure and phase compositions were determined as well. The tribological data obtained were benchmarked with different ceramics, cermets, hard metals and thermally sprayed coatings, where NbC bonded with 8% and 12% Co presented above 7 m/s the lowest wear rates so far in such a benchmark. Binderless NbC (HP-NbC1) and the metal-bonded NbCs exhibited low wear rates under dry sliding associated with P·V high load carrying capacities. NbC-based hard metal bonded with 12 vol.-% of Fe3Al resulted in a higher hardness level than for 12 vol.-% cobalt. The tribological profile established revealed a strong position of NbC-bearing materials under tribological considerations and for closed tribosystems against established reference tribo-couples.
The research institution TEKNIKER has coordinated the EUROPEAN Project EREBIO, were different biodegradable lubricants have been formulated by FUCHS and BAM for heavy duty engines (GUASCOR), and passenger cars (RENAULT). In the frame of this article, it has been summarised the results obtained when developing biodegradable passenger car lubricants in combination with triboreactive materials.
Replacing hydrocarbon-based oils with biodegradable products is one of the ways to reduce adverse effects on the ecosystem caused by the use of lubricants. The application of low or no sulphur, ash and phosphorous (lowSAP) ester- or polyglycol-based oils, intended for passenger car engine lubricants as substitutes for hydrocarbon-based oils, required the preparation of a composition of lubricants with comparable tribological and functional properties.
The study is focussed on passenger car motor oils (PCMO) with reduced metal-organic additives. This is necessary in order to reduce the ash build-up in the after treatment system and therefore improve its efficiency and lifetime. High fuel efficiency and long drain intervals are requested, as well. To follow a line in a consequent way, these oils have to be biodegradable and non-toxic to the aqueous environment according to the directive EC/1999/45, coherent with other international standard. In a modern diesel or gasoline engine, the engine oils has to fulfil quite a number of different functions, such as lubricating and cooling the system, wear protection, soot and particle handling with less deposit tendency and so on.
In the paper a study of the biodegradability, toxicity and the tribological properties has been carried out for new developed prototype engine bio-oils. Also, some different plasma sprayed triboreactive coatings have been deposited on cast iron piston rings, being studied also their tribological properties. Finally, the behaviour of the new bio-oils selected and plasma sprayed triboreactive coatings on piston rings have been screened in a real engine.
Research and development of WC grades is 90 years ahead of niobium carbide-based hard materials, which showed already as light-weight and unexplored material a very high potential for many technical applications, especially for wear protection and machining. NbC evoluted recently from lab scale to pilot scale, especially in areas where established WC-based materials are causing economic, environmental or technical concerns. Benchmark trials of NbC-based hard metals indicated already a favorable performance in machining of steel components.
The wear rates of self-amted alumina couples show that friction as well as wear is largely determined by the above mentioned hydro-thermal conditions. The presence of water and ist amount available in the surrounding system either in liquid or in gaseous from plays a key role for friction and wear behavior and cabe benefical 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.

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.

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.
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.
The automotive industry places significant importance on downsizing components to achieve greater efficiency. The goal of reducing CO2 emissions has led to the development of lightweight materials that are also able to enhance performance. In light of these aspirations, the aim of this study is to characterize two novel, high-performance steels, as well as a 'classical' gear steel for comparison with each other and currently applied materials. The gear steel underwent carburization and subsequent deep freezing treatments in an attempt to yield discrete sample groups with respect to residual austenite. The high-performance steels were heat treated as recommended by their respective manufacturers, and were not carburized. 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). 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-carburized 20MnCr5. Residual austenite contents ranging from approximately 6–14 vol% were generated, though effectively providing only two, rather than the desired four discrete sample groups. Residual stresses from machining and carburization were measured directly at the sample surface, and from carburization alone below the surface. The high-performance steels fulfilled manufacturer expectations in terms of elemental content, hardness between 50 and 55 HRC and strongly martensitic microstructure character. Finally, slip-rolling endurance testing (T=+120 °C, 10,000,000 cycles, approximately 19 days in a factory fill engine oil) was carried out on all materials, whereby coefficient of friction distributions during testing and wear coefficients after testing were calculated. Testing was performed up to and including P0Mean=1.94 GPa (P0Max=2.91 GPa, FN=2000 N). Ultimately, the non-carburized high-performance steels showed competitive wear performance and better friction behaviour than the carburized 20MnCr5, which has been attributed to their work hardening capability.
The running-in phase of mechanical systems is critical from a tribological standpoint, though poorly understood. Microcracks accelerate 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. This pre-conditioning involved the targeted implementation of two specific lubricant packages, the first with CaCO3 as the active ingredient and the second with MoDTC as the active ingredient, to generate chemically reactive tribolayers (tribofilms) on twin disk testing rigs. Pre-conditioning was carried out up to 104 load cycles (approximately 25 min). 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 chemical 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. Tribofilm-protected samples were then subjected to slip-rolling endurance testing (T=+120 °C, 10,000,000 cycles, approximately 19 days in a factory fill engine oil) to determine any changes in friction behavior or wear performance. Some significant reductions in coefficients of friction at the end of endurance testing were observed, though in certain cases, no definitive improvement was observed. In contrast, very strong reductions in wear were observed across the entire spectrum of materials and testing loads. In some cases, sample surface wear reduction from pre-conditioning via tribofilms reached over 90%. The observed improvements to friction behavior and wear performance are indicative of a technically simple, cost- and energy-efficient pre-conditioning method that may prove to be competitive with existing thermochemical treatments for steel alloys.
Das tribologische Profil von binderlosem NbC und mit 8% bzw. mit 12% Cobalt oder 12% Fe3Al gebundenem NbC wird unter unidirektionaler Gleitreibung (v= 0,1-10 m/s, T= 22°C und 400°C) und unter oszillierender Gleitreibung vergleichend gegenüber Ingenieurkeramiken und Hartmetallen dargestellt. Zusätzlich werden die 4-Punkt-Biegebruchfestigkeit, elastische Eigenschaften (E,G) bis 1.000�C die lastabhängige Mikrohärte sowie die Phasenzusammensetzung und Gefügestrukturen vorgestellt. Die Verschleißkoeffizienten des binderlosen NbC lagen bei T unterhalb von 10-6 mm³/N?m, während diejenigen der cobaltgebundenen NbCs mit ansteigender Gleitgeschwindigkeit von 2-4 10-6 mm³/N?m bei 0,1 m/s auf 5-7 10-7 mm³/N.m bei 10 m/s abnahmen. Die Verschleißkoeffizienten bei 400°C lagen für die NbCs generell unterhalb von 10-6 mm³/N.m. Das tribologische Lasttragevermögen im Trockenlauf, ausgedrückt als PV-Wert, nimmt mit ansteigender Gleitgeschwindigkeit auf 100 W/mm² zu. Bedingt durch die geringe Löslichkeit von NbC in Legierungen offenbarten erste Zerspanversuche mit verschiedenen Stählen eine gegenüber WC-basierten Schneidstoffen signifikant angehobene Zerspanungsvolumina. Somit offenbart NbC in offenen und geschlossenen Tribosystemen Anwendungspotentiale.
In the present work it was shown that the tribologcal profiles of special model oxides under dry unidirectional sliding have shown, that sub-oxides have a contribution to the tribological behavior of carbides and cermets, when they are tribo-oxidatively formed, because their tribological profiles as monolithic materials are homologous in part or totally, or compete with hardmetals or cermets, depending from the operating conditions regarded.
The differences between the binary phase diagrams W-C and Nb-C illuminate several parameters for tailoring the properties of NbC. In the region of homogeneity of NbCx, with Nb4C3 and Nb6C5 other Niobium carbide phases occur. Properties, like micro-hardness, hot hardness, sliding wear, elastic modules and toughness can be tailored by the C/Nb Ratio, secondary carbides and the type of binder. Supporting results from different grades with varying C/Nb ratio or binder types will be illuminated. Thus, the NbC system offers to producers a wider parameter window, than WC.
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.
Tribology in hot steam

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.

The frictional response of molybdenum bis(C11-14 branched and linear alkyl) carbamodithioate oxo thioxo complex (Mo-dttc) versus bismuth dimethyldithiocarbamate (Bi-dtc) and bismuth dodecylbenzene Sulfonate (Bi-ddbsa) slip-rolling under mixed/boundary lubrication (T=120°C, n=10 millions of cycles, P0max=2.25 GPa) in PAO-based formulation against three different steel alloys were compared.
The present work deals with Niobcarbid (NbC). Strategic reflections on tungsten carbide and more and more stringent toxicological restrictions for cobalt associated for both with spiraling stock market prices have attracted recently some attention for Niobium carbide as a substitute for tungsten carbide in machining.
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.
