Abstract
To investigate the tribological behaviour of surface textured polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters under dry friction, a nanosecond laser was employed to create grooves on the PDC surface with dimensions of 50 μm in width and 100 μm in depth. The groove spacings were 1000, 500 and 100 μm. Subsequently, dry friction experiments were carried out on an MUU-10 friction and wear testing device, using PDC and silicon nitride (Si3N4) balls as the frictional pairs. Characterisation of the PDC cutters and Si3N4 balls was conducted using scanning electron microscopy, stereomicroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Results showed that both the coefficient of friction and wear rate decreased with reduced groove spacing, in comparison to untextured PDC cutters. Surface texturing facilitated the formation of a transfer film during friction, and no pores were observed. Furthermore, the diamond phase was enhanced, while the brittle η phase was suppressed. The best wear resistance was observed in PDC cutters textured with a groove spacing of 100 μm.
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.
