The main objective of the nanoceramic sealant studied in this work is to extend the life of metallic fasteners. To evaluate the performance of the sealant from other perspectives, microstructural analysis, adhesion test, micro-scale abrasive wear tests and corrosion test were carried out. These tests were performed on samples coated only with white zinc, which is commonly used in the fastener industry, and on samples coated with white zinc followed by application of the nanoceramic sealant. The application of the nanoceramic sealant contributed to the improvement of corrosion resistance and reduction of the corrosion rate. The corrosion rate of the sample coated with the sealant reduced by 62.2% when compared to the sample that only went through the white zinc coating process. The coating showed low adhesion to the substrate with the presence of severe delamination and microcracks. This feature contributed to the low wear resistance presented by the coating under the conditions studied in this work. Less attention, compared to studies involving corrosion resistance, has been given to wear resistance in the fastener industry. The results obtained in this paper show that the study of tribological behavior is an important factor in increasing the efficiency of fasteners applied in harsh environments.","PeriodicalId":505930,"journal":{"name":"Tribology in Industry","volume":"474 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140281560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon not only diminishes productivity but also exerts adverse influences on the final product's quality. Consequently, the pursuit of research endeavors aiming at prolonging the lifespan of the pressing screw holds significant importance, not only in reducing production costs but also in enhancing the product's overall quality. This paper adopts an innovative approach by integrating theoretical calculations, numerical simulations with practical experiments to ascertain the optimal profile for the pressing screw. This methodology employs Genetic Algorithm and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations in conjunction with the EDEM software to simulate the working process and provide the optimal profile of the pressing screw. The analysis and simulation results indicate a substantial enhancement in the wear resistance of the pressing screw while ensuring the efficient movement of discrete materials during the pressing process. The results of this study not only indicate the main wear locations on the pressing screw but also suggest the optimal profile, providing a basis and control for wear assessment. Furthermore, the results of this research not only identifies the principal areas that are susceptible to wear on the pressing screw but also proposes optimal profile, threreby establish a solid foundation and methodology for wear assessment. These results will be pragmatically implemented in smokeless charcoal production factories, concurrently pave the way for further research and applications in this field.","PeriodicalId":505930,"journal":{"name":"Tribology in Industry","volume":"39 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140270277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tetragonal zirconia balls were used as a counterpart. Three different types of microstructure were designed, one consisting in separated alumina inclusions in zirconia matrix, the second one containing alumina inclusion in the amount close to the percolation point and another one which was a combination of two continuous phases, penetrating the whole volume of the composite. It was detected that at elevated temperatures all materials showed distinct decrease of measured wear rate. Composite with a low alumina content showed minimal wear rate at 300 °C and composites with higher amount of alumina were the most wear resistant at 400 °C. There are some evidences that this minimal wear rate is connected with a pseudoplastic behavior of a layer formed between co operating elements of tribological pair.","PeriodicalId":505930,"journal":{"name":"Tribology in Industry","volume":"99 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140273024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
