An alumina coating prepared through a modified plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process also shows a promise in wear reduction for automotive brake disc. The aim of the work was further to study effect of the alumina coating surface conditions on tribological behavior and wear particle emission of the cast iron brake disc using a pin-on-disc (PoD) tribotester combined with an airborne particle emission measurement system. The testing sample surface conditions included uncoated and alumina-coated cast iron disc surfaces with different surface roughness finish. The counterpart pins were machined from a commercially available brake pad, called a low-met (LM) pad. After the tests, the friction transfer layers and emitted particles were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results showed that the coating surface roughness significantly influenced the bedding-in process and coverage of transfer layers, which led to noticeable difference in coefficients of friction (COF), wear weight loss, and particle number concentrations and size distributions. Compared with the uncoated disc, the coated discs were able to considerably reduce the wear loss of the discs, particle number concentrations, and metal pickup in the emitted particles. A smooth surface coating condition can be utilized to also reduce the pad wear and thus its emission, which would further benefit environment and human health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22009,"journal":{"name":"Surface & Coatings Technology","volume":"499 ","pages":"Article 131875"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143224793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzes the temperature, velocity and particle distribution fields during spraying inside cylinders. The effects of cylinder diameter and cooling airflow on temperature distribution and particle behavior in ID-APS were investigated. As the cylinder diameter decreases, the environment temperature and plasma jet temperature within 5 mm of the substrate increase significantly, leading to an increase in temperature during the deposition of 1–20 μm particles. The backflow formed due to the enclosed wall jet increases the edge velocity of the plasma jet, and then particles around 10 μm are more easily deflected from the plasma jet. Due to the relative position between the enclosed wall jet and the gun, the temperature is higher at the sides of the gun. As the cylinder diameter decreases from 130 mm to 70 mm, the highest temperature area moves from the back side to the front side of the gun. The cooling airflow introduced on both sides of the plasma jet effectively reduces the environment temperature. However, the excessive rate of airflow significantly deflects the jet near the substrate, which increases the dispersion of the particle deposition location and temperature-velocity distribution.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22009,"journal":{"name":"Surface & Coatings Technology","volume":"497 ","pages":"Article 131787"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143143461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the deformation behavior of Cantor nanolayers in nanomultilayer film systems obscures the development of high-performance Cantor-based nanomultilayer films. In this work, the nanocrystalline Cantor film and bcc-Nb/fcc-Cantor nanomultilayer film were fabricated by magnetron sputtering technology, and their mechanical properties and deformation behaviors were investigated via nanoindentation and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the plastic deformation of the nanocrystalline Cantor film is mainly carried by both grain growth and localized amorphization during indentation, which can be attributed to its intrinsically high lattice resistance and the presence of high-density grain boundaries. When the Nb nanolayers were inserted onto the Cantor nanolayers to form bcc-Nb/fcc-Cantor a nanomultilayer structure, its hardness increased to ~9.6GPa, which is 1.4 times higher than that calculated from the rule of mixture. The confinement effect of adjacent Nb nanolayers prevents grain growth in the Cantor nanolayers and promotes their complete amorphization transition in the deformed regions. However, the Cantor nanolayer on the outermost surface exhibits higher mobility, leading to the aggregation of high-density stacking faults induced by indentation. In addition, severe co-deformability occurs in the region directly below the nanoindentation tip subjected to large compressive stress, while the intermixing of Cantor and Nb nanolayers appeared in the edge region of the indentation through severe cross-slips under the combined effect of compressive and shear stresses. These results are important for understanding the deformation modes of Cantor nanolayers in nanomultilayered structure, and the findings provide new insights for developing high strength-ductility Cantor-based nanomultilayer films.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22009,"journal":{"name":"Surface & Coatings Technology","volume":"497 ","pages":"Article 131751"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143143749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
