Niobium carbide (NbC) is an alternative cutting material. The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) and the Institute for Machine Tools and Factory Management (IWF) of the TU Berlin assessed the cutting suitability of NbC with cobalt (Co)-binder compared to WC with Co-binder in the machining of a wide range of materials.
Wear
(2014)
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users perceive “wear” or “oil drain” differently. Spare parts, Services, and accessories contribute to an important portion to the profit of the OEMs. Maintenance and shutdowns define the operational costs of end-users. Thus, the strategy in order to exploit “wear” depends from the market structure and is up to the reader and/or applicant. The topic “Service Life/Durability/Life Cycle” represents a very ambiguous one and was already thematized in earlier times.
There have been several studies regarding the tribological behaviour of ceramics such as SiC and alumina mated against steels or self-mated. Nevertheless, only Little is known about possible tribochemical reactions when ceramics are mated against steels. In the present study, ceramic pins made of SiC (EKasicF) or alumina (F99.7) respectively were tested under dry sliding conditions against different steel disc counter bodies using a pin-ondisc tribometer. The different ceramics showed significant differences in their tribological behaviour, i.e., coefficient of friction and wear amount. Especially, the SiC couples showed significant differences in the wear amounts while these were quite similar for the alumina couples. The wear behaviour of the SiC couples is discussed in more detail. A correlation between chromium content of the steel discs
was found for the SiC couples. The surfaces of selected specimens were analysed by Auger-Electron-Spectroscopy (AES). Wear for the SiC couples was mainly attributed to tribochemical reactions as far as the steel disc was containing the alloying element chromium in considerable amount. Furthermore, a simple wear schematic is proposed.
