Abstract
The dry-sliding wear behaviors of nickel-based single crystal (NBSC) superalloy under different shot peening (SP) intensities and sliding times are investigated and compared with those of non-SP NBSC superalloy. The surface roughness of SP superalloy is 82.9 %–388.1 % higher than that of non-SP superalloy, and the surface microhardness is 8.7 %–50.4 % higher than that of non-SP superalloy. However, at the initial stage of abrasion, due to the large surface roughness, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate of SP superalloy are higher than those of non-SP superalloy. After long-term abrasion, the COF and wear rate of SP superalloy are lower than those of non-SP superalloy, which is attributed to the SP-induced gradient-hardening layer and gradient-nanograined microstructure. Under cyclic friction load, a five-layer heterogeneous gradient nanostructure is generated on the worn surface of SP superalloy, including ultrafine nanograined glaze layer, nanocrystal layer, sub-grain layer, rotated γ′ layer and distorted γ′ layer. While non-SP superalloy has a thicker heterogeneous gradient nanostructure with larger grain sizes, and there is no rotated γ’ layer. SP-induced high-density dislocations strengthen the wear resistance. These findings provide new insights into the strengthening mechanism of SP on wear and highlight the potential of SP in the design of wear-resistant NBSC superalloy.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
