Panin S.V., Buslovich D.G., Kornienko L.A., Alexenko V.O., Dontsov Y.V., Shil’ko S.V.

Abstract

In order to develop dispensable materials for additive manufacturing technologies, the structural and functional analysis of antifrictional polymer-polymer blends based on ultrahigh-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are performed. The problem of the optimal selection of polymer plasticizers from the commercially available thermoplastic is solved in order to improve the extrudability of UHMWPE. It is shown that the effective plasticizing filler for UHMWPE from the standpoint of maintaining its tribological and mechanical characteristics and providing the required melt flow index is a double mixture of 10 wt % HDPE-g-SMA + 10 wt % PP. Using the developed materials will make it possible to manufacture parts of a complex shape for tribojoints, including endoprostheses, by the 3D printing method.

Investigation of the Correlation between the Natural Extension Ratio and Abrasive Wear Resistance in Polyethylene

Gumen V.R., Knyazkina I.V., Kolbaya V.G., Kovriga V.V.

Abstract

The abrasive wear in different types of polyethylene assessed with different parameters of plastic failure. The parameter for the analysis of plastic failure is the natural extension ratio (NER). The correlation was determined between the wear and the NER. Larger values of the NER correspond to a higher value of wear. A significant relation between the NER and the dependence of wear on size of the grains is shown. The most probable explanation of this relation lies in the common mechanism of plastic failure during volumetric and contact loading.

Bratkovsky E.V., Shapovalov A.N., Dema R.R., Kharchenko M.V., Platov S.I., Rubanik V.V.

Abstract

A technique is developed for evaluating the impact-abrasive resistance of cast specimens, which allows simulating the conditions of impact and abrasive wear when changing the following factors: impact energy, abrasive impact angle, abrasive type, and its consumption and grain size. The complex experiment results for five carbide-promoting elements effect on abrasive (AR), impact and abrasive (IAR), and antifriction (AFR) steel resistance in the cast and hardened states are presented. The possibility of using the new technique for evaluating wear resistance and optimizing the composition of steel operating under impact-abrasive effects is shown.

Markov M.A., Fadin Y.A., Sychev S.V., Krasikov A.V., Bykova A.D., Belyakov A.N., Zhukov A.S.

Abstract

Oscillatory processes that occur in the course of friction in the audio frequency range are considered. Methodical approaches for observing them are proposed, and their connection with the processes of deformation and fracture occurring in thin surface layers is demonstrated. It is shown that under friction conditions, the analysis of oscillatory processes makes it possible to identify in time the stages of the deformation of the surface roughness and destruction occurring on the surface of the material under study.

Analysis of Frictional Resistance Arising at the Edge of the Sheet Metal Drawing Die

Bosiakov S., Trzepiecinski T.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the experimental studies of the frictional resistance of sheet metal used in the automotive industry in the process of its formation. The friction tests are carried out on a special installation designed to reproduce the friction resistance arising at the edge of the die during the metal sheet drawing. It is established that the friction factor can vary significantly in the process of sheet deformation. A comparative analysis of the experiment results and the finite-element sheet drawing simulation is carried out. It is shown that the developed finite-element model allows adequately determining the friction factor under large metal deformations.

Tribological and Rheological Properties of Thermally Treated Steel under Reverse Friction

Shevelya V.V., Kalda G.S., Sokolan Y.S.

Abstract

Changing the sclerometric parameters and acoustic emission activity of friction zones depending on the tempering temperature of carbon steel quenching under conditions of cyclic-reverse scratch-testing is studied. The tribological analog of the Baushinger effect, whose occurrence depends on the structure of steel tempering, is experimentally researched. The physical nature of Baushinger’s triboeffect as a rheological parameter of relaxation and the dissipative properties of the frictional contact are examined in connection with the acoustic emission activity and amplitude dependent internal friction of steel.

Comparison of Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Nitride and Oxynitride Coatings Based on Chrome and Zirconium Obtained by Cathodic Arc Evaporation

Warcholinski B., Gilewicz A., Kuprin A.S., Tolmachova G.N., Ovcharenko V.D., Kuznetsova T.A., Lapitskaya V.A., Chizhik S.A.

Abstract

The results of the investigation of the microstructure, crystal lattice parameter, roughness, microhardness, elasticity modulus, friction coefficient, specific volumetric wear, and adhesion strength for CrN, ZrN, Zr–O–N, and Cr–O–N coatings are presented. The coatings are formed by cathodic arc evaporation and have a cubic lattice. Addition of oxygen to the nitride CrN and ZrN coatings leads to the lattice parameter increasing and the crystallite size decreasing simultaneously. The oxynitride coatings, Cr–O–N and Zr–O–N, possess improved tribological properties in comparison with nitride coatings.

Wear of Dies of Bulk Straining According to Criteria of Low-Cycle Fatigue and Plastic Crushing

Sosenushkin E.N., Volodin I.M., Yanovskaya E.A., Sosenushkin A.E., Khromenkov A.V., Karnilov A.Y.

Abstract

Cyclically changing thermomechanical loads causing the stress–strain state of dies are part of the crushing mechanism of surface and crack propagation in stress concentration zones. In order to evaluate the maximum stresses causing the critical strains of a die, a mathematical model is developed making it possible to predict the durability of a die’s working parts. The durability of punches and matrixes is estimated by the average number of loading cycles up to the breakdown of the tool according to the criteria of low-cycle strength and plastic crushing.

Hetsikava M.A.

Abstract

The behavior of the friction coefficient for the initial and modified surface of butadiene-nitrile rubber with respect to a counterbody in the course of tribological tests is considered. The adhesion and hysteresis loss occurring under friction are estimated. It is shown that in the course of friction of the modified surface, the contribution of the loss of hysteresis to the friction coefficient is almost constant, whereas the adhesive component of the friction force exhibits an increase.

Tribological Features of Environmentally Safe Lubricant Compositions Based on Rapeseed Oil

Ermakov C.F., Chmykhova T.G., Timoshenko A.V., Shershnev E.B.

Abstract

Different lubricants in terms of their nature and properties are studied using a four-ball friction machine and an SMT–1 friction machine. It is found that an environmentally safe lubricant based on rapeseed oil (RO) in comparison with lubricants made on the mineral base widely used in railway transport for rail and flange lubrication provides a lower wear level for conjugated solid bodies and a lower temperature in the friction zone. It is thus observed to have a more efficient protective and lubricating action. The latter is confirmed by the operational testing of the developed environmentally safe lubricant for a system of locomotive flange lubrication. It should be noted that the developed environmentally safe lubricant ensures not only better tribological characteristics but also is obviously distinguished by its environmental properties and biodegradability when used for the lubrication of wheel–rail friction pairs, since it is vegetable-based.
