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. Properties, like micro-hardness, hot hardness, sliding wear resistance, elastic modulus and toughness can be tailored by the C/Nb ratio, the addition of secondary carbides and the type of binder. Supporting results from 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. Niobium is today largely available. NbC can be synthesized by carbothermal conversion of Nb₂O₅ or be metallurgically grown and leached out, provides comparably low 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.
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.
Sub-100-nm laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were processed on bulk titanium (Ti) surfaces by femtosecond laser pulse irradiation in air (30 fs pulse duration, 790 nm wavelength). The laser peak fluence, the spatial spot overlap, and the number of overscans were optimized in a sample-scanning geometry in order to obtain large surface areas (5 mm × 5 mm) covered homogeneously by the LIPSS. The laser-processed regions were characterized by optical microscopy (OM), white light interference microscopy (WLIM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The friction coefficient of the nanostructured surfaces was tested during 1000 cycles under reciprocal sliding conditions (1 Hz, 1.0 N normal load) against a 10-mm diameter ball of hardened 100Cr6 steel, both in paraffin oil and in engine oil used as lubricants. Subsequently, the corresponding wear tracks were qualified by OM, SEM, and energy dispersive X-ray analyses (EDX). The results of the tribological tests are discussed and compared to that obtained for near wavelength-sized fs-LIPSS, processed under somewhat different irradiation conditions. Some constraints for a beneficial effect of LIPSS on the tribological performance are provided.
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 current study reports on the influence of the Addition of 5–15 vol% VC or/and Mo2C carbide on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nickel bonded NbC cermets, which are compared to cobalt bonded NbC cermets. The NbC, Ni and secondary carbides powder mixtures were liquid phase sintered for 1 h at 1420 °C in vacuum. The fully densified cermets are composed of a cubic NbC grains matrix and an evenly distributed fcc Ni binder. NbC grain growth was significantly inhibited and a homogeneous NbC grain size distribution was obtained in the cermets with VC/Mo2C additions. The mechanical properties of the NbC-Ni matrix cermets are strongly dependent on the carbide and Ni binder content and are directly compared to their NbC-Co equivalents.
The liquid phase sintered NbC-12 vol% Ni cermet had a modest Vickers hardness (HV30) of 1077 ± 22 kg/mm2 and an indentation toughness of 9.1 ± 0.5 MPa·m1/2. With the addition of 10–15 vol% VC, the hardness increased to 1359 ± 15 kg/mm2, whereas the toughness increased to 11.3 ± 0.1 MPa·m1/2. Addition of 5 and 10 vol% Mo2C into a NbC-12 vol% Ni mixtures generated the same values in HV30 and KIC when compared to VC additions. A maximum flexural strength of 1899 ± 77 MPa was obtained in the cermet with 20 vol% Ni binder and 4 vol% VC+4 vol% Mo2C addition, exhibiting a high fracture toughness of 15.0 ± 0.5 MPa·m1/2, but associated with a loss in hardness due to the high Ni content. The dry sliding wear behaviour was established at room temperature and 400 °C from 0.1 to 10 m/s.
Titanium nitride (TiN) was coated on different substrate materials, namely pure titanium (Ti), titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) and steel (100Cr6), generating 2.5 μm thick TiN layers. Using femtosecond laser pulses (30 fs, 790 nm, 1 kHz pulse repetition rate), large surface areas (5 mm × 5 mm) of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) with sub-wavelength periods ranging between 470 nm and 600 nm were generated and characterized by optical microscopy (OM), white light interference microscopy (WLIM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In tribological tests, coefficients of friction (COF) of the nanostructured surfaces were determined under reciprocating sliding conditions (1 Hz, 1.0 N normal load) against a 10-mm diameter ball of hardened 100Cr6 steel during 1000 cycles using two different lubricants, namely paraffin oil and engine oil. It turned out that the substrate material, the laser fluence and the lubricant are crucial for the tribological performance. However, friction and wear could not be significantly reduced by LIPSS on TiN layers in comparison to unstructured TiN surfaces. Finally, the resulting wear tracks on the nanostructured surfaces were investigated with respect to their morphology (OM, SEM), depth (WLIM) and chemical composition by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and, on one hand, compared with each other, on the other hand, with non-structured TiN surfaces.
Microstructure and wear behavior of improved NbC cermets for (BS-1452) grey cast iron machining
(2017)
Tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt (Co) based cermets are the most successful commercial cermets beacuse of the good combination of physical, mechanical and behavioral properties. Niobium carbide (NbC) has good mechanical and physical properties, such as high hardness, very high melting point and low density. SPS refined the NbC grains and increased the hardness, while substitution of Co with Ni improved the fracture toughness.
