However, limited efforts have been made to examine the influence of Erbium (Er) in Mg alloys. This study is designed to unravel the role of Er addition on wear and friction characteristics of Mg-Er alloys. As-cast Mg-Er (0.5–12 wt%) alloys were prepared and tested under dry sliding conditions with varying normal loads (5 N to 100 N) and sliding speeds (0.01 m/s to 0.1 m/s). The results indicated that the addition of Er to Mg significantly improved the overall wear properties of the alloys. At higher Er content, a substantial decrease in severe wear rate region (75 %), while a ⁓ 40 % reduction in friction coefficient were observed. The formation of a protective tribo-oxide layer at the contact zone due to the increase in temperature from friction, combined with the strengthening effect of the Er-rich precipitates, contributed to enhanced wear resistance with Er addition. The surface energy of the Mg-12Er alloy was less than that of other Mg-Er alloys (⁓ 50 % reduction), causing reduced adhesion and abrasion wear and thus reducing the overall wear rate. Furthermore, it was observed that higher applied normal loads led to increased wear rates and friction coefficients, whereas with increasing sliding speed, the wear rate was reduced. Major wear mechanisms observed were abrasive, adhesive, plastic deformation, oxidation, and fatigue wear along with delamination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 110337"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142539481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The erosion performance of coatings at extreme lunar temperature regimes (−150 to 150 °C) was evaluated in a custom-made planetary erosion test rig (PETR) at low (50 mph) and high impact velocities (250 mph). The mass loss of VPS coatings was reduced by 50 % compared to the APS coatings and 40 % compared to the Ti6Al4V substrate. The cryogenic temperature induces brittleness in the material, rendering it susceptible to extreme conditions of material loss. The particle impact-deformation behavior was captured using a high-speed camera to study the erosion mechanism. This analysis revealed chipping in substrates and brittle APS coatings, while particles rebounding and embedding were observed in VPS coatings. Energy calculations, aided by particle trajectory tracking from the high-speed camera, have conclusively shown that VPS coatings absorb 5–10 % more energy than APS coatings during erosion tests.
