This study investigated the tribological behavior of Cu-Fe-P immiscible alloys produced via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) under current-carrying conditions. The alloys consist of softer ε-Cu phase and harder Fe-rich phases. The Fe-rich phase acts as a protective reinforcement during current-carrying friction and wear tests, improving the wear resistance of the alloy. With the increasing current, the coefficient of friction initially rose and then decreased, whereas the wear rate showed a gradual increase. At low currents (0, 2, 3 and 5 A), mechanical wear predominantly governs the wear mechanism. As the current increases, the mechanical wear gradually transitions from adhesive wear to abrasive wear, accompanied by weak oxidative wear. At higher currents (7 A and 10 A), the wear mechanism is dominated by arc erosion wear and oxidative wear. Notably, when the current exceeded 2 A, an oxide film consisting of CuO, Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> formed, enhancing the frictional properties of the alloy. Once the current surpassed 5 A, the arc discharge occurred at high currents, forming molten phases and arc erosion pits on the worn surface of the Cu-Fe-P immiscible alloy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434387","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}

Usually, hardened tool steels are machined under dry with ceramic or PCBN inserts. However, dry machining imposes a condition where high cutting temperatures are developed, which becomes prohibitive when the part's geometric and dimensional accuracy is required. On the other hand, using mineral oil-based cutting fluid has encountered increasing restrictions because of its unsustainable nature. In this context, developing new sustainable lubri-cooling techniques, such as using vegetable oils blended with nanoparticles, could be an appropriate alternative. Thus, the main objective of this study was to investigate the performance of three different vegetable oil-based nanolubricants blended with three different nanoparticles (CuO, a-C:H, and CuO + a-C:H), applied under MQL when machining a quenched and tempered AISI D6 tool steel. For this purpose, facing turning trials were performed using solid PCBN inserts with the following cutting parameters: V<sub>c</sub> = 100 m/min, a<sub>p</sub> = 0.3 mm, and f = 0.1 mm/rev. For comparison, facing turning tests were performed under dry and pure vegetable oil (without nanoparticles) and applied under MQL. Output variables included average surface roughness (R<sub>a</sub>), flank wear (VB<sub>C</sub>), wear mechanisms of the cutting edge, chip shape, and chip compression ratio (R<sub>c</sub>). The results showed that the vegetable oil-based nanolubricants applied under MQL improved the tribological conditions in the chip-tool and workpiece-tool interfaces, mainly in the case of CuO + a-C:H nanolubricant. In this case, it enhanced the lubricating action of the vegetable oil, decreasing cutting tool wear probably because of the combination of rolling mechanism, - provided by the CuO nanoparticles, and the formation of a protective film, supplied by the a-C:H nanoparticles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424960","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}

Axles in humid and acidic environments absorb hydrogen, leading to accumulation in grain boundaries, which weakens their structure and causes damage under alternating stress. Despite this, the impact of hydrogen damage on the fretting wear behavior of HEA coatings has not been explored. To address this, we performed fretting wear tests on a laser-cladded FeCoCrNiMo<sub>0.2</sub> coating and a GCr15 steel ball friction system, evaluating their performance before and after hydrogen exposure. The results of the study indicate that under a constant load of F<sub>n</sub> = 10N and a displacement amplitude of D = 50 μm, the friction coefficient, maximum wear depth, wear volume, and wear rate increased when the system was in the hydrogen charging state compared to the non-hydrogen charging state. Specifically, the friction coefficient increased from 0.60 to 0.93, the maximum wear depth increased from 2.82 μm to 3.63 μm, the wear volume increased from 14.106 × 10<sup>4</sup>μm<sup>3</sup> to 22.098 × 10<sup>4</sup>μm<sup>3</sup>, and the wear rate increased from 28.213 × 10<sup>−6</sup> mm/Nm to 36.600 × 10<sup>−6</sup> mm/Nm. Under the hydrogen charging state, the friction coefficient, maximum wear depth, wear volume, and wear rate all increased. This is due to hydrogen damage, including the formation of pitting pits and cracks on the surface of the coating, stress concentration, and brittle failure caused by hydrogen infiltration into the material. The presence of hydrogen makes the surface of the coating more prone to detachment, resulting in finer wear debris, deeper grooves, and increased oxidation. These factors accelerate the wear of the coating. This finding will contribute to the development and improvement of advanced surface modification techniques for materials in the hydrogen environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445556","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}
