Antibiotic resistance is a growing global problem which poses a massive threat to human health. Although human activity contributes to the acceleration of the process, bacteria have a self-driven stabilisation mechanism to protect themselves from such and other external threats: biofilm formation. Nonetheless, it is the adhesion of a single bacterial cell to a surface that triggers the formation of such network of biomolecules and microorganisms, as well as its hazardous consequences. The main objective of this work was to quantify the adhesion force of a single E. coli cell on a Ti substrate via the AFM-related single-cell force spectroscopy, with both the cell and the substrate material being of high clinical relevance. A set of 25 x 25 force displacement curves was acquired with a maximum force of 3.2 nN without dwell time, yielding a topography map and an adhesion force map that showed to be correlated. A mean adhesion force of 0.85 ± 0.175 nN was measured and the presence of cell appendages on the bacterial cell wall was verified through individual force-displacement curves. Bacterial viability was assessed after the measurements via live/dead staining.
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.
Niobium carbide is a ceramic material which can be used with excellent results to replace tungsten carbide with cobalt binder. Furthermore, it might be manufactured by classic ceramic technologies and even colloidal processing. To achieve high toughness and strength, it is necessary to have a perfect mix of hard phase and binder, which is mainly achieved by ball milling. Mechanical and physical properties as well as results on different tribological and application-oriented machining tests are presented. The results have been compared with results obtained with NbC grades with Co and Fe3Al binders as well as with pure binderless hot-pressed NbC and SPS sintered Nb2O5.
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.
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.
Metallurgy and Tribology offer different novel tools for meeting fuel economy targets.
Each of metallurgy, coatings, additives and base oils promote itself as exclusively blessed way to assure fuel economy. It is likely, that two, three or all generate the bigger fuel economy benefits and make the team working difficult for the OEM.
Metallurgy and Tribology enables the implementation of new technologies for waste heat recovery, like hot steam.
In consequence, multi-disciplinary co-engineering needs to be established. Finally, this is the most promising way, but people dislike changes.
Embargo and dual use regulations limits the global availability of thin films and also some alternative steels.
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 present paper illuminates the metallurgical progress on niobium carbide based hard metal developments, which are characterized by: a.) the substitution of cobalt binder by nickel, b.) the change from SPS to conventional sintering and c.) by switching from lab to pilot scale. The toughness was increased in the frame of these developments without loosening the hardness level. The hardness-toughness profile of NbC grades match those of WC and cermet grades. Apart from the aforementioned parameters, the properties depend from the powder processing and sintering conditions.
The functional profile of nickel and NiMo bonded NbC versus cobalt bondedWC grades bonded by cobalt and nickel are benchmarked under dry sliding wear (T= 22/400°C; v= 0,1-10 m/s), abrasive wear (G65) and under dry turning and dry milling against different work piece alloys (C45E, 42CrMo4, 300WA, GG35, AlSi9Cu4Mg). The different elements explaining the wear resistance of NbC over WC will be illuminated.
The steam technology has attracted attention for recovering energy from waste heat in transportation systems. 40% of the calorific value of the fuel is wasted through the tailpipe. The use of waste heat recovery systems (WHRS) in cars and especially in trucks corresponds to possible energy savings in terms of less fuel consumption in the range of 7 – 18 %. This relates not only to the savings of fuel but also to the non-production of green house gas CO2. Steam expander form tribosystems, which can´t be lubricated with oils, as hot steam hydro-cracks these fluids. Suited tribomaterials as well as their tribo-oxidatively reaction layers must be first steam degradation resistant and for the tribotesting of such candidate material, tribological testing devices for a hot steam environment are needed. Not much is known so far about the tribological properties of any material system running under pressurized hot steam conditions. For these reasons and for being able to evaluate tribological properties in hot steam, BAM has developed and built a new and sealed tribometer for hot steam allowing evaluating tribological properties up to 700°C and 10 bars in gaseous atmospheres like hot steam or ethanol.
Experimental results on the wear of self-mated aluminum oxide and MgO-ZrO2 couples show that friction as well as wear is largely determined by the above mentioned hydro-thermal conditions. In this system the presence of water and its amount available in the system either in liquid or in gaseous form plays a key role for wear behavior and can beneficial. Ethanol and/or water-ethanol mixtures can form beneficial tribofilms, also on specific diamond-like carbon films.
The present paper illuminates the metallurgical progress on niobium carbide based hard metal developments, which are characterized by: a.) the substitution of cobalt binder by nickel, b.) the change from SPS to conventional sintering and c.) by switching from lab to pilot scale. The toughness was increased in the frame of these develop¬ments without loosening the hardness level. Stoichiometric and sub-stoichiometric, submicron NbC powders were used. The hardness-toughness profile of NbC grades match those of WC and cermet grades. Apart from the aforementioned parameters, the properties depend from the powder processing and sintering conditions. The functional profile of NbC and WC grades bonded by cobalt and nickel are benchmarked by 4-point bending strength, elastic moduli and hot hardness until 1000°C, dry sliding wear (T= 22/400°C; v= 0,1-10 m/s), abrasive wear (G65) and cutting performances under emulsion and coolant-free turning and milling against different alloys (C60, 100Cr6, 42CrMo4, X90CrMoV18, 300WA, GG35).
