Abstract

Friction behaviours of sintered high speed steels containing TiC, CaF2 and MnS additives and lubrication mechanisms of these additives have been investigated at sliding conditions at 600°C. Results shown that these additives strongly affected friction behaviours of the sintered high speed steels. Ceramic carbide TiC, as a bonding agent and enhancement phase, bonded the solid lubricant CaF2 and MnS surrounding it and supported these solid lubricant particles so that friction process become stable. Fluoride calcium CaF2 has a better high temperature lubrication properties than MnS, and that the addition of TiC + CaF2 in the sintered high speed steels achieved excellent friction performances both a stable and a low friction coefficient value. Analysis results by X-ray indicated that the surface film appearing on worn path consists of some molten metal matters and very fine carbide particles. During sliding, the surface film separated contacts and resulted in a lower friction coefficient. Because of the sintered high speed steels usually to be used to manufacture high temperature components, these results are helpful for their engineering use.

    Addition of CaF2 stabilizes the frictional behavior of the composite when sliding tests are carried out at elevated temperature. Therefore, addition of both CaF2 and TiC in high speed steels performs well to achieve satisfactory steady frictional behavior and at the same time desirable wear resistance [50,51]. Cr reinforced Fe matrix possesses good mechanical properties and hence are suitable in many manufacturing industrial applications.

    To reduce friction, many researchers have implemented various concepts, such as lubricant films, self-lubricating materials, and surface texturing. First, low-friction concepts, such as forming solid lubricant films [8,13] or self-lubricating materials [6,7,10–16], increase the lubricity of the surface by providing easy shear under a sliding condition [6,9]. In addition, surface texturing can also be used to decrease friction by reducing the true contact area, the lubricant retention capability, as well as the wear debris traps [11,17–24].

    The worn surface of the PECSed composites was affected by the type of solid lubricants that was in use. Fluoride (such as CaF2 and BaF2) solid lubricants existed with a slip plane at a high temperature, such as the Ca or Ba atomic compact plane, [23]. In the case of non-lamellar structured solid lubricants, such as CaF2 or BaF2, the slip occurs in the densely packed plane of the CaF2 or BaF2 crystal structure.

    Because these lubricants are unable to operate at elevated temperatures [8], solid lubricants are better suited for high-temperature applications. Solid lubricants, such as CaF2, BaF2, BaCr2O4, BaCrO4, MoS2, WS2, h-BN, and graphite, exhibit a lower friction coefficient at high temperatures (773–873 K) than at lower temperatures [9–18]. In general, solid lubricants transition from a brittle state to a plastic state at high temperatures.

    To improve wear and friction of products, novel advanced materials, processing and surface modifying methods will be greatly demanded. In machines, longer lifetimes, increased wear resistance, and reduced energy consumption will be able to lower friction through lubrication [6–15]. The most effective methods to reduce wear and friction in machine are to separate between relative sliding surfaces by means of lubricants such as gases, greases, oils, and solid lubricants.
