Abstract
Al2O3 ceramic coatings are widely used due to their excellent wear resistance, but comparative studies on the sliding wear mechanisms with typical metal pairing materials are rarely reported. In this study, the frictional behavior of Al2O3 coatings against 316L stainless steel, H62 brass, and TC4 titanium alloy were systematically studied using a CSM friction tester. To study of the wear mechanism of different friction parts, a thoroughly comparative analysis was performed via scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution X-ray diffraction and multifunctional X-ray photoelectron spectroscope. The findings reveal significant differences in tribological performance across these friction pair systems. The crystal structure of the friction pair is the basis for determining the intrinsic tribological behavior of the material, the mechanical properties predominantly govern the distribution of contact stresses, while frictional heat induces interfacial chemical reactions that lead to the formation of a friction induced third body, collectively influencing the friction and wear behaviors of the pairs.
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.
