Dry sliding wear and friction test of CrN coaling on two types of aluminum alloy substrates,6061 Al and 7075 Al deposited by arc ion plating, was peformed with a ball-on-disk tribometer. The effects of normal Bead and the mechanical properties of substrate on the friction coefficient and wear-resistance of CrN coating were investigated. The worn surfaces were observed by SEM. The results show that surface micro-hardness of CrN- coated 7075 Al is higher than that of CrN-coated 6061 Al. With an increase in normal lead, wear volume increases, while the friction coefficient decreases. The friction coefficient of CrN-coated 6061 Al is higher than that of CrN-coated 7075 Al, while the wear-resistance of CrN-coated 6061 Al is lower than the CrN-coated 7075 Al's, which indicates that the substrate mechanical properties have strong inf1uences on the friction coefficient and wear of CrN coating. The main wear mechanism was fragments of CrN coating, which were caused by apparent plastic deformation of substrate during wear test.

TiN coated films exhibit excellent mechanical properties such as high wear, erosion and corrosion resistances and a high thermal stability. Therefore, they are widely applied to a coating material in tools, ornaments, parts and semiconductors. However, the fracture of TiN coated films frequently occurs. The distribution of preferred orientations, i.e., texture, of TiN coated films strongly influences the fracture behavior of these films. In the present study. various TiN coating layers having different textures were prepared by the reactive ion physical vapor deposition and the texture dependence of friction coefficient, erosion and corrosion in these coating layers was investigated. The sample depicting the (115) texture parallel to the coating layer normal displayed a flatter surface than that observed from the sample having the (111) texture. The friction coefficient of TiN thin films was hardly dependent on the texture of coated samples. The samples having (115) texture displayed higher wear, erosion and corrosion resistances than the samples having (111) texture.

This study was to correctly estimate the friction and wear behavior of carbon fiber and PEEK sheet composites, and the validity of using them as alternatives to the metal-based materials used for artificial hip joints. Moreover, this work evaluated the friction coefficient according to the fiber ply orientation, along with the fractured surfaces of the carbon/PEEK composites. The unidirectional composites had higher friction coefficients than those multidirectional composites. This was caused by the debonding between the carbon fiber and the PEEK sheet, which was proportional to the contact area between the sliding surface and the carbon fiber. The friction test results showed that there was no significant differences in relation to the fiber ply orientation. However, in a case where the speed was 2.5 m/s, the friction coefficient was relatively large for configuration I. The friction surface of the specimen was analyzed using an electron microscope. In all cases, the debonding of the fiber and PEEK could be confirmed.

In spite of progress in tribological research, machine component failure due to friction and wear has been reported frequently. This failure may lead to secondary damage that can cause huge expense for maintenance and repair. To prevent economic loss, it is important to detect and predict the initial failure point. In this sense, various researchers have been tried to develop Condition Monitoring (CM) method using Acoustic Emission (AE) generated while the materials undergo failure. In this study, effect of particles on friction and wear was investigated using the pin-on-plate friction test and AE signal was recorded with a band-width type AE sensor. The experiments were performed in dry and lubricant conditions using steel and glass as specimens. After the experiment, 3D laser microscope image was captured to evaluate the wear behavior quantitatively. The AE signal was analyzed in time-domain and frequency-domain. The amplitude was compared with the frictional results. The results of this study showed that particle generation accelerate wear, generate high magnitude AE signal and change the frequency characteristics of the signal. Also, lubricant condition test results showed low coefficient of friction, low wear rate, and low magnitude of AE signal compared to the dry condition. It is expected that the results of this study will aid in better assessment of wear in CM technology

Due to the increased use of power caused by industrial development, the importance of improving wear and friction in the contact region has emerged. Except for some parts, such as brakes or clutches and friction, seals and precision mechanical parts (e.g., pistons, bearings, valves, and cams) are important engine components that require low friction characteristics. In this study, the experimental method used to determine the friction characteristics was based on the type of rpm with the pin-on-disc test device, the element analysis program ANSYS was used to analyze the surfaces of the two metals rubbing together, and physical formation FEM models were used to study the properties and wear. The friction coefficient of variation was unsafe, but at the start of wear, it converged to a stable friction coefficient that increased after a certain slip away.

In order to investigate tribological effects of nano copper particles impregnated(CuN) on surface polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) on sealing wear and an experimental study was carried out to determine the wear behavior of copper nano-particles impregnation two kind thickness in super critical $CO_2$ liquid. Experimental results showed that the friction coefficients of CuN PTFE at the low sliding speed(0.44m/s) and the oil temperature ($60^{\circ}C$) were higher than that of virgin PTFE. And a thin nano copper particles impreganated thickness was formed on the surface in the PTFE and the specimen with this treatment has much better friction properties than the original one. Fortunately, at the high load(80 N) and the oil temperature, the friction coefficient of CuN PTFE was lower than that of virgin PTFE. This evidenced the load carrying capacity of CuN PTFE was much better than that of virgin PTFE under the high load condition(80 N) specially. Therefore, it can be concluded that the friction coefficient variation of CuN PTFE is very small but its wear rate decreases greatly with increase in sliding speed.

High Temperature wear behavior of plasma sprayed ZrO$_2$ and MoS$_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ coatings were investigated for high temperature wear resistance applications. The MoS$_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ added powders containing 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 mol% of $MoS_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ for plasma spray were made by spray drying method. Wear test were performed at temperature ranges from room temperature to 600$\circ$C. The microstructural change of coatings and the worn. surface were examined by SEM and XRD. In ZrO$_2$ coating, the coefficient of friction and wear amount of room temperature to 400$\circ$C was increased with temperature and decreased with temperature over 400$\circ$C. The coefficient of friction and wear amount of MoS$_2$ added coatings were increased with temperature, but those of $Fe_2O_3$ added coatings had lower coefficient of friction and higher wear resistance than ZrO$_2$ coating.

In this study, we investigated the effects of copper and copper-alloy on the frictional and wear properties of low-steel friction material. The proportions of copper and copper-alloy in the brake friction materials used in passenger cars are very high (approximately 5-20% weight), and these materials have significant effects on friction and wear characteristics. In this study, the effects of cupric ingredients, such as the copper fiber and brass fiber, are investigated using the friction materials based on commercial formulations. After the copper and brass fibers from the same formulation were removed, the frictional and wear characteristics were evaluated to determine the influence of the copper and copper-alloy. We evaluated the frictional and wear characteristics by simulating various braking conditions using a 1/5 scale dynamometer. The results show that the friction material containing copper and brass fibers have excellent frictional stability and a low wear rate compared to the friction material that does not contain copper and brass fibers. These results are attributed to the excellent ductility, moderate melting point, high strength, and excellent thermal conductivity of copper and copper-alloy. We analyzed the surfaces of the friction materials before and after the performing the friction tests using a scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, confocal microscope, and roughness tester to verify the frictional behavior of copper and copper-alloy. In future studies, it will be applied to the development of copper-free friction materials based on the results of this study.

Present study was investigated the effect of the particle of the counterface of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced composite. The friction coefficient of composite and the specific wear rate different sliding velocity were measured for this materials. The friction track of counterface was observed by an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. There were insignificant effects of the specific wear rate under lower Sic abrasive particle, however it showed high effect on $30{\mu}m$ abrasive particle size. There were significant effects of friction and wear behavior of the fiber direction under 0.3m/s sliding speed. Major failure mechanisms can be classified such as microfracture, plowing, microcutting, cutting and cracking.

The driver seat of an automobile is in direct contact with the driver and provides the driver with a safe and comfortable ride. The seat consists of a frame, a rail, and many recliners. In recent years, strength and operating force measurement testing of the recliner have become vital for designing car seats. However, performance evaluation requires expensive testing equipment, numerous seat products, and considerable time. Therefore, the trend is to reduce experimentation through interpretation. This study examines the lubrication of solid lubricant for automotive seat recliners and confirms the friction and wear performance. In this study, the lubrication behavior of solid lubricants for car seat recliners is investigated to ascertain the friction and wear performance and to provide accurate values for the strength analysis. The friction material consists of a pin and a plate made from steel, which is widely used in recliners. The friction and wear under lubrication conditions are measured by a reciprocating friction wear tester. The friction coefficient is obtained according to the load and speed. Based on the obtained results, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the error of the test value and the analysis by providing the friction coefficient and wear of the lubricant. The results can be applied to the analysis of automobile seat design.
