Wear behavior properties

Considering the wear behavior of a-C H films, it was reported that wear does not depend so strongly on film hardness as could be expected [95]. Wear behavior of a-C H also depends on other factors, like the nature of the transfer layer—the layer modified by the wear process—and on the chemical reactions carried out by the ambient atmosphere. So, it could be expected that despite the strong drop in hardness, a-C(N) H films could have good wear properties. However, the few results reported on a-C(N) H films did not show an optimist wear performance for this material. 

This chapter is meant to be an overview of ongoing studies of polysiloxane-modified epoxy resins. Because this research area is still quite young, it is not yet possible to write a standard review article. Presented here is the current status of a collaborative effort encompassing chemistry and synthesis of the modified networks, their morphology, their mechanical properties, and their friction and wear behavior. The earliest work in the synthesis and characterization of siloxane-modified networks was done by Riffle et al. 15). More recent research in the area of chemistry and synthesis has been carried out by Tran 17).

Mathematical structure-property relations have yet to be developed that tie molecular level information to a prediction of friction and wear behavior. Current theories focus on idealized structures and interfacial interactions that are rarely realized in practice. Thus, statistical representations of the surface topography and interfacial forces need to be integrated with nanotribological measurements to develop more widely applicable and predictive tools. 

The lubricated wear described above is squarely at odds with the behavior illustrated in Fig. 14-6 and with the wear-reducing action of 22% di-t-octyl disulfide in white oil reported by Dorinson and Broman [10] and shown in Table 11-6 (Chapter 11, Section 11.2.1). If Eqn 14-49 is a correct representation of additive action, it should be valid for both the reduction and the increase of wear by such action. To reduce wear, the first term on the right-hand side of the equation must control the overall rate and one way to do so is for the lump removal factor wear rate. But there is no physical necessity that q remains constant for all conditions of load, pressure, speed or state of lubrication. Since in physical terms the predominant effect of the lubricant is to inhibit the asperity adhesion process, it is not unanticipated that the average size of the transferred and detached particles as well as their number will be decreased by lubrication. It is to this latter type of mechanistic process that we must look for an explanation of why such parameters as contact pressure, rubbing speed and material properties affect the balance between the inhibition or promotion of wear by additive action and the transition from smooth lubricated wear to catastrophically damaging wear behavior such as scuffing. 

Abrasive processes are generally the final process operation in a process chain and determine significantly the functional surface properties of the machined workpiece. Therefore, the properties of the surface layer generated by abrasive processes directly affect the functional properties of the workpiece such as fatigue strength, wear behavior, and chemical resistance (Jawahir et al. 2011). Tensile residual stresses impair mechanical strength properties of workpiece, whereas compressive tensile stresses have a beneficial effect. 

Today, the role of ILs in the field of lubricants can be diverse instead of using them as a neat compound, they also can be used as an additive for other base oils, enhancing their friction, and wear behavior, but may also introduce novel properties such as conductivity. 

Wettability is a very important property of solid surfaces. In many cases, the surface wettability of mechanical components and devices strongly influences their operation. There are many reports on this topic. Borruto et al. [1] studied the effect of surface wettability of different materials (AISI 1050 and AISI420 steels, Pyrex glass, Teflon (PTFE) and carbon fiber) on the friction and wear behaviors during... 

Correspondingly, the wear behavior (essentially a surface property) of processed polymer shows 3D anisotropic behavior [8]. 

The effect of material content on the friction and wear properties of the composites is obviously, proper material content not only increase the mechanical properties, but also improve the friction and wear behaviors. Compared with friction coefficient, the changing trends of wear rate with mechanical properties is obviously, the reason is that both of the good wear rate and well mechanical properties needed the finer microstructure, and the friction coefficient are mainly dependent on the TiB2 content [Mazaheri et al, 2008]. 

We would like to emphasize at this point that strength, fracture toughness, hardness and wear behavior, although important mechanical parameters for materials seleetion and engineering design, are not well-defined material properties, beeause they are intimately... 

Bhuyan et al. (2010) synthesized organomodified clay/conjugated low saturated soybean oil/styrene nanocomposites with different clay contents from 1 to 5 wt%. The addition of 1 wt% organo-MMT clays induced superior wear behavior and better tribological properties. Zia et al. (2011) studied the impact of bentonite clays on mechanical properties and cytotoxicity of chitin-based polyurethane nanocomposites. The tensile strength of nanocomposites increased up to 300% with 4 wt% bentonite clay inclusions. Increasing the content of bentonite clays on nanocomposite products enabled the toxicity level of nanocomposites to increase. The optimal bentonite clay content was found to be 2 wt% when used as surgical threads due to the combination of better mechanical properties and lower toxicity level. Das et al. (2013) fabricated epoxy/polyuria-modified MMT nanocomposites...
