Abstract
Herein the self-lubricating Ni-B-La films were deposited onto porous surfaces of Ti substrate to modify its surface defects like low hardness, poor wear resistance, etc. The anodized titanium oxides (ATO) surfaces within 3D foam-like nanoporous textures were created for pinning growth by low-temperature electroless Ni-B nanocrystals to increase the interfacial strength. Specifically, the impact of LaCl3 addition and aging temperatures on structural and tribo-mechanical characteristics of Ni-B-La films were assessed. The results validated that, instead of the cauliflower-like cellular, the inclusion of La3+ in plating bath was favorable for a flat surface within microcrystal textures. Through aged at 350 °C, it depicted the highest microhardness of 1163.6HV0.1 and the lowest coefficients of friction (COF) value of ∼0.12 for Ni-B-La (3 g/L LaCl3) samples. Additionally, the wear rate of Ni-B-La films was lower than 1.76 × 10−3 mm3·N−1·m−1, reducing by 667.1 % and 133.0 % than those of Ti substrate and Ni-B alloys. Both the precipitations of hard NixB particles and La-rich oxides resulted in the self-lubricating surfaces. Our work offers exceptional prospects for La-doped Ni-B films towards porous surfaces, allowing to satisfy the surface functional of Ti-based engineering applications under dry friction conditions.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
