Abstract

A model of two-body abrasive wear, caused by abrasive particles harder than the wearing material, is presented. It shows the most important factors which influence wear loss. Properties such as work hardening, ductility and fracture toughness of a wearing material are considered in addition to hardness. The model includes the operating conditions of the wear system, e.g. size, shape (and/or attack angle) and type of abrasive particles and the applied surface pressure. Other parameters, e.g. sliding velocity, are implicitly included by their effect on the effective surface deformation or the capability of deformation or the work hardening of a wearing material. The predictions of the model were checked by using model wear tests at low sliding speeds. Good agreement was found between the experimental results and the theoretical model.

Experimental study on the influences of cutter geometry and material on scraper wear during shield TBM tunnelling in abrasive sandy ground
2024, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
When shield TBM tunnelling in abrasive sandy ground, the rational design of cutter parameters is critical to reduce tool wear and improve tunnelling efficiency. However, the influence mechanism of cutter parameters on scraper wear remains unclear due to the lack of a reliable test method. Geometry and material optimisation are often based on subjective experience, which is unfavourable for improving scraper geological adaptability. In the present study, the newly developed WHU-SAT soil abrasion test was used to evaluate the variation in scraper wear with cutter geometry, material and hardness. The influence mechanism of cutter parameters on scraper wear has been revealed according to the scratch characteristics of the scraper surface. Cutter geometry and material parameters have been optimised to reduce scraper wear. The results indicate that the variation in scraper wear with cutter geometry is related to the cutting resistance, frictional resistance and stress distribution. An appropriate increase in the front angle (or back angle) reduces the cutting resistance (or frictional resistance), while an excessive increase in the front angle (or back angle) reduces the edge angle and causes stress concentration. The optimal front angle, back angle and edge angle for quartz sand samples are α = 25°, β = 10° and γ = 55°, respectively. The wear resistance of the modelled scrapers made of different metal materials is related to the chemical elements and microstructure. The wear resistances of the modelled scrapers made of 45#, 06Cr19Ni10, 42CrMo4 and 40CrNiMoA are 0.569, 0.661, 0.691 and 0.728 times those made of WC-Co, respectively. When the alloy hardness is less than 47 HRC (or greater than 58 HRC), scraper wear decreases slowly with increasing alloy hardness as the scratch depth of the particle asperity on the metal surface stabilizes at a high (or low) level. However, when the alloy hardness is between 47 HRC and 58 HRC, scraper wear decreases rapidly with increasing alloy hardness as the scratch depth transitions from high to low levels. The sensitive hardness interval and recommended hardness interval for quartz sand are [47, 58] and [58, 62], respectively. The present study provides a reference for optimising scraper parameters and improving cutterhead adaptability in abrasive sandy ground tunnelling.
Improving cold sprayed Ti-6Al-4V coatings controlling processing parameters: Effect on microstructure and scratch behaviour
2023, Wear
In this work, the local wear properties of cold-sprayed (CS) Ti-6Al-4V coatings were studied to evaluate their application for aeronautical components repair. Two different CS conditions were used, and one condition was also heat-treated. A thorough microstructural study was first done to correlate the microstructure with the wear properties. Then, microscratch tests were performed. The wear rates were calculated analytically, and this method was validated with confocal microscopy. Similar wear rates to that of the material to be repaired (substrate) were obtained for the CS coating sprayed at higher temperatures and for the heat-treated one. The wear resistance was related to the ability of the coating to plastically deform and thus, with the arrangements of different dislocations observed in the coatings.
Evaluating the effect of deposition conditions on the local wear resistance of cold sprayed stainless steel coatings
2023, Wear
The useful service life of metallic structures is affected by the exposure to the meteorological phenomena. In this sense, the continuous impact of particles suspended in the atmosphere could produce microscratches on the surfaces of these components, generating several wear degradations. These damaged surfaces can be repaired in order to increase their service life, avoiding component replacement and reducing the environmental impact. Recently, coatings deposition by cold spray has been revealed as a promising strategy for repairing damaged components. Therefore, the main objective of this work is focused on the analysis of wear resistance against micro-scratching in metallic coatings. For this purpose, 316L stainless steel powders were deposited onto low carbon steel S355J2 by cold spray, varying the pressure and temperature of the propellant gas. Nanoindentation tests were carried out to determine hardness and elastic modulus. The wear rates and the friction coefficients were measured through microscratch tests using a Berkovich tip. The wear mechanisms were analysed evaluating the scratch grooves in the scanning electron microscope. Finally, the relationship between hardness and wear rate was determined.
Effect of microstructure transformation below M<inf>S</inf> temperature in bainitic steels on the impact-abrasive wear behavior
2023, Wear
The bainitic steel austempered below M_S (martensite start temperature) with good strength and toughness has a great potential in the field of wear resistance. In this paper, the impact abrasive wear resistance of bainitic steel austempered below M_S temperature was studied and compared with those of bainitic steel austempered above M_S temperature. The results show that the wear resistance of bainitic steel austempered below M_S is better than that of bainitic steel austempered above M_S. The wear mechanism of bainitic steel austempered below M_S is dominated by fatigue wear. This is attributed to the refinement of bainitic ferrite laths and martensite-retained austenite blocks by austempering processes below M_S. The bainite steel austempered below M_S with higher initial hardness can effectively resist the impact load and the damage of abrasive particles to the wear surface, thereby reducing the wear weight loss.
A review of vibration-based gear wear monitoring and prediction techniques
2023, Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing
Gearbox plays a vital role in a wide range of mechanical power transmission systems in many industrial applications, including wind turbines, vehicles, mining and material handling equipment, oil and gas processing equipment, offshore vessels, and aircraft. As an inevitable phenomenon during gear service life, gear wear affects the durability of gear tooth and reduces the remaining useful life of the gear transmission system. The propagation of gear wear can lead to severe gear failures such as gear root crack, tooth spall, and tooth breakage, which can further cause unexpected equipment shutdown or hazardous incidents. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor gear wear propagation progression in order to perform predictive maintenance. Vibration analysis is a widely used and effective technique to monitor the operating condition of rotating machinery, especially for the diagnosis of localized failures such as gear root crack and tooth surface spalling. However, vibration-based techniques for gear wear analysis and monitoring are very limited, mainly due to the difficulties in identifying the complex vibration characteristics induced by gear wear propagation. Understanding the effect of gear wear on vibration characteristics is essential to develop vibration-based techniques for monitoring and tracking gear wear evolution. However, no research work has been previously published to summarize the research progress in vibration-based gear wear monitoring and prediction. To fill the research gap, this review paper aims to conduct a state-of-the-art comprehensive review on vibration-based gear wear monitoring, including studying the gear surface features caused by different gear wear mechanisms, investigating the relationships between gear surface features and vibration characteristics, and summarizing the current research progress of vibration-based gear wear monitoring. This review also makes some recommendations for future research work in this area. It is expected that this review will provide useful information for further development of vibration-based techniques for gear wear monitoring and remaining useful life predictions.
Work hardening and the scratch resistance of Ni–Co alloys using a rapid prototyping approach
2022, Wear
The propensity of a material to work harden can impart increased resistance to wear. The present study examines a series of Ni–Co alloys that display different hardness and different tendencies for work hardening to better understand the role of work hardening in material removal during scratching. It is found that work hardening has a significant effect on the effective hardness – i.e. the resistance to penetration – during scratching. It is in this determination of the scratch hardness that work hardening plays its most important role in the present material. For a given value of static hardness, the scratch hardness – and hence resistance to scratching - is higher when the work hardening rate is higher. This has important implications for the prediction of scratch resistance using material properties. The work also shows the utility of the concept of scratch ductility in determining material removal during a scratch event and in the use of additive manufacturing techniques to facilitate rapid prototyping in the development of scratch resistant alloys.
