In this study, the formation, microstructure, and wear properties of Colmonoy 88 (Ni-17W-15Cr-3B-4Si wt.%) + Stellite 1 (Co-32Cr-17W wt.%) coating layers fabricated by high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying are investigated. Colmonoy 88 and Stellite 1 powders were mixed at a ratio of 1:0 and 5:5 vol.%. HVOF sprayed selffluxing composite coating layers were fabricated using the mixed powder feedstocks. The microstructures and wear properties of the composite coating layers are controlled via a high-frequency heat treatment. The two coating layers are composed of γ-Ni, Ni3B, W2B, and Cr23C6 phases. Co peaks are detected after the addition of Stellite 1 powder. Moreover, the WCrB2 hard phase is detected in all coating layers after the high-frequency heat treatment. Porosities were changed from 0.44% (Colmonoy 88) to 3.89% (Colmonoy 88 + ST#1) as the content of Stellite 1 powder increased. And porosity is denoted as 0.3% or less by inducing high-frequency heat treatment. The wear results confirm that the wear property significantly improves after the high-frequency heat treatment, because of the presence of wellcontrolled defects in the coating layers. The wear surfaces of the coated layers are observed and a wear mechanism for the Ni-based self-fluxing composite coating layers is proposed.

This study investigates the microstructure and wear properties of cermet (ceramic + metal) coating materials manufactured using high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) process. Three types of HVOF coating layers are formed by depositing WC-12Co, WC-20Cr-7Ni, and Cr3C2-20NiCr (wt.%) powders on S45C steel substrate. The porosities of the coating layers are 1 ± 0.5% for all three specimens. Microstructural analysis confirms the formation of second carbide phases of W2C, Co6W6C, and Cr7C3 owing to decarburizing of WC phases on WC-based coating layers. In the case of WC-12Co coating, which has a high ratio of W2C phase with high brittleness, the interface property between the carbide and the metal binder slightly decreases. In the Cr3C2-20CrNi coating layer, decarburizing almost does not occur, but fine cavities exist between the splats. The wear loss occurs in the descending order of Cr3C2-20NiCr, WC-12Co, and WC-20Cr-7Ni, where WC-20Cr-7Ni achieves the highest wear resistance property. It can be inferred that the ratio of the carbide and the binding properties between carbide–binder and binder–binder in a cermet coating material manufactured with HVOF as the primary factors determine the wear properties of the cermet coating material.

In order to expand the application of oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steel, a composite material is manufactured by adding mechanically alloyed ODS steel powder to conventional steel and investigated in terms of microstructure and wear properties. For comparison, a commercial automobile part material is also tested. Initial microstructural observations confirm that the composite material with added ODS steel contains i) a pearlitic Fe matrix area and ii) an area with Cr-based carbides and ODS steel particles in the form of a Fe-Fe3C structure. In the commercial material, various hard Co-, Fe-Mo-, and Cr-based particles are present in a pearlitic Fe matrix. Wear testing using the VSR engine simulation wear test confirms that the seatface widths of the composite material with added ODS steel and the commercial material are increased by 24% and 47%, respectively, with wear depths of 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively. The ODS steel-added composite material shows better wear resistance. Post-wear-testing surface and cross-sectional observations show that particles in the commercial material easily fall off, while the ODS steel-added material has an even, smooth wear surface.

The friction characteristics of Al-Fe alloy powders are investigated in order to develop an eco-friendly friction material to replace Cu fiber, a constituent of brake-pad friction materials. Irregularly shaped Al-Fe alloy powders, prepared by gas atomization, are more uniformly dispersed than conventional Cu fiber on the brake pad matrix. The wear rate of the friction material using Al-8Fe alloy powder is lower than that of the Cu fiber material. The change in friction coefficient according to the friction lap times is 7.2% for the Cu fiber, but within 3.8% for the Al- Fe alloy material, which also shows excellent judder characteristics. The Al-Fe alloy powders are uniformly distributed in the brake pad matrix and oxide films of Al and Fe are homogeneously formed at the friction interface between the disc and pad, thus exhibiting excellent friction and lubrication characteristics. The brake pad containing Al-Fe powders avoids contamination by Cu dust, which is generated during braking, by replacing the Cu fiber while maintaining the friction and lubrication performance.

Material for high-speed airframe are typically selected such that high ablation resistance is maintained on the material surface while high pull-strength is maintained inside the material. However, in case of application to extremely severe condition, the material should have better mechanical properties. Thus, heat treatment or surface treatment is utilized to improve the mechanical properties. This study is conducted as a preliminary research to improve the mechanical properties of vehicle material considering the frictional heat produced during high-speed vehicle is in motion. In this study, Inconel 625 alloy, widely used material for the application of high-speed air vehicle, is ion nitriding processed and then mechanical property test and wear test on this material are conducted consequently. As results, mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength and hardness are increased, and also wear rate is increased at particular condition.

Saw wires have been widely used in industries to slice silicon (Si) ingots into thin wafers for semiconductor fabrication. This study investigated the microstructural and mechanical properties, such as abrasive wear and tensile properties, of a saw wire sample of 0.84 wt.% carbon steel with a 120 μM diameter. The samples were subjected to heat treatment at different linear velocities of the wire during the patenting process and two different wear tests were performed, 2-body abrasive wear (grinding) and 3-body abrasive wear (rolling wear) tests. With an increasing linear velocity of the wire, the tensile strength and microhardness of the samples increased, whereas the interlamellar spacing in a pearlite structure decreased. The wear properties from the grinding and rolling wear tests exhibited an opposite tendency. The weight loss resulting from grinding was mainly affected by the tensile strength and microhardness, while the diameter loss obtained from rolling wear was affected by elongation or ductility of the samples. This result demonstrates that the wear mechanism in the 3-body wear test is much different from that for the 2-body abrasive wear test. The ultra-high tensile strength of the saw wire produced by the drawing process was attributed to the pearlite microstructure with very small interlamellar spacing as well as the high density of dislocation.

The effect of tempering temperature and microstructure on dry sliding wear behavior of quenched and tempered PM with 0.3% graphite and 1-2% Ni steels was investigated. The sintered specimens were quenched from 890℃ and then tempered at 200℃ and 600℃ for 1 hr. Wear tests were carried out on the quenched＋tempered specimens under dry sliding wear conditions using a pin-on-disk type machine at constant load and speed. The experimental results showed that the wear coefficient effectively increased with increasing tempering temperature and decreased with increasing Ni content.

Austenitic stainless steel has been used as a corrosion resistance material. However, austenitic stainless steel has poor wear resistance property due to its low hardness. In this investigation, we apply powder composite process to obtain hard layer of Stainless steel. The composite material was fabricated from planetary ball milled SUS316L stainless steel powder and WC powder and then sintered by Pulsed Current Sintering (PCS) method. We also added TiC powder as a hard particle in WC layer. Evaluations of wear properties were performed by pin-on-disk wear testing machine, and a remarkable improvement in wear resistance property was obtained.

Cu-20wt.%W 복합재료를 800˚C에서 1000˚C의 소결온도에서 15MPa과 30MPa의 소결압력으로 30분과 60분 동안 유지하여 진공가압소결하였다. 진공가압소결로 제조한 결과 일반적인 소결공정에 비해 높은 밀도와 경도값의 상승 및 내마모성이 향상되었다. 그런데, 15MPa의 소결압력에서 Cu-W의 미세조직은 W이 부분적으로 불균일하게 군집한 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 구리와 텅스텐간의 상호 불고용성과 소결시 소결압력의 차이의 의한 효과라 생각된다.

In recent times the potential application of the high speed steel produced by HIP process for wear resistant and cutting materials are increasing. In this work the microstructure of Anval 30 produced by HIP process was investigated and the effect of WC, TiC addition on microstructure formation and wear properties were studied. After HIP process at 1150 , the original feature of spherical raw powders was not removed and consequently, nonuniform microstructure was formed. However the WC added by simple powder mixture incereased the sinterbility of high speed steel and uniform microstructure formed. The wear characteristics of Anval 30 with carbide addition were tested at RT and . The uniform microstructure played an more important role in wear resistance as compared with the hardness.

Si3N4가 추진기관 연소조건 하에서 흑연의 산화와 마모를 효과적으로 방지하는 다층 코팅재료로 쓰일 수 있도록 하기 위하여 저압화학기상증착법(LPCVD)으로 Si3N4를 코팅할 때의 증착특성에 대해 연구하였다. 흑연 위에 pack cementation방법으로 SiC를 코팅하고 그 위에 저압화학기상증착법으로 Si3N4를 코팅 하였으며, 증착온도와 반응기체입력비를 변화시키면서 이에 따른 증착속도와 표면형상의 변화를 관찰하였다. 증착속도는 증착온도가 높아짐에 따라 처음에는 증가하다가 최대값을 나타낸 후 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 그레인의 크기는 증착온도가 높아짐에 따라 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 한편, 반응기체의 입력비가 20≤NH3/SiH4≤40인 조건에서는 증착속도의 변화나 표면형상의 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 증착온도 800~1300˚C 범위에서 증착된 Si3N4가 비정질상인 것을 XRD로 확인할 수 있었으며 1300˚C, 질소 분위기에서 2시간 동안 열처리하여 결정상인 Si3N4를 인을 수 있었다.

페놀수지 결합재에 보강섬유의 종류에 따라서 내염섬유 보강 복합재(OFRP), 탄소섬유 보강 복합재(CFRP), 유리섬유 보강 복합재(GFRP), 아라미드 섬유 보강 복합재(AFRP)를 제조하였다. 각 보강섬유의 분율을 달리함에 따라 마찰계수 및 마모율을 측정하여 각 보강섬유의 특성이 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 아라미드의 섬유량이 45tw%일 때 평균 마찰계수가 0.353-0.383으로 가장 높게 나타난 반면에 핏치계 탄소섬유를 45wt% 보강한 경우 0.164-0.190으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. AFRP와 CFRP의 마모율은 낮게 나타내었으며, GFRP와 OFRP는 섬유분율이 증가함에 따라 급격히 증가하는 양상을 보였다. OFRP는 마모 diagram이 불안정하였으며 CFRP와 AFRP는 대체적으로 안정한 형태를 나타내었다. GFRp는 상당히 불안정한 마모diagram을 나타낸 것으로 보아 마찰 안정성이 가장 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 탄소/탄소복합재료의 마모특성에 대한 탄소섬유 길이의 영향을 고찰하였다. 매트릭스 precursor로 레졸형의 페놀수지와 강화재로 표면처리를 하지않은 PAN계 단섬유형 탄소섬유를 사용하여 액상함침법으로 1회의 고온열처리 공정과 4회의 탄화공정을 통하여 탄소/탄소복합재료를 제조하였다. Disk-on-disk형의 마모시험기를 통하여 상대 마찰재로 AISI 304 stainliss steel을 사용하여 0.6MPa(61 ×103Kg/m2)의 압력과 0.71m/sec의 미끄러짐 속도하에서 측정된 탄소/탄소복합재료의 마찰계수는 0.2-0.3이었다. 마찰계수에 대한 섬유의 길이의 영향은 크게 나타나지 않았지만, 마모 속도는 섬유의 길이가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 실헙 결과를 섬유 강화 플라스틱의 마모 모델을 적용하여 고찰하여 본 결과, 섬유의 길이가 증가함에 따라 탄소/탄소복합재료의 마모 속도가 증가되는 경향은 생성된느 마모조각의 크기가 커기기 때문에 나타난 현상으로 판단되었다.
