  2. 1. Wear resistant low friction coatings for engine components

    Author : Per Lindholm; Sören Andersson; Rickard Larker; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering materials; cam; roller follower; carbon coating; engine test; finite element method; Konstruktionsmaterial; Construction materials; Konstruktionsmaterial;

    Abstract : Engine development today is driven by cost, performance and government regulations. Customers want cars and trucks to consume less fuel, last longer, pollute less and be safer. Several of the requirements have tribological associations. For example, product longevity can be improved by lowering friction and using more wear-resistant components. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wear resistant low friction coatings for machine elements

    Author : Olle Wänstrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : By the introduction of machine elements made of light metals, e.g. Al or Mg alloys, which are coated with a material providing high wear resistance and low friction coefficient, both economical and environmental benefits can be gained. A high resistance against wear results in increased lifetime and lower costs for spare parts and maintenance. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Ni3Al-alloy and its Composites as Potential Wear Resistant Materials for Advanced Applications

    Author : Karin Anne Xia Gong; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Abrasive wear; Intermetallic matrix composite; Friction coefficient; Wear-resistant materials.; Nickel aluminide; Specific wear rate; Sliding wear;

    Abstract : The Ni3Al-based intermetallic alloys as engineering materials in service, they may be subjected to a wear environment of some sort. Hence, it is technologically important to understand the tribological response and to determine methodologies to improve wear resistance of these advanced materials. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development and tribological characterisation of magnetron sputtered TiB2 and Cr/CrN coatings

    Author : Mattias Berger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; TiB2; Tribology; Magnetron Sputtering; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to develop wear resistant physical vapour deposited coatings of TiB2 as well as multilayers of Cr/CrN. The correlation between deposition parameters and fundamental coating properties such as microstructure, composition, residual stress and hardness has been investigated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microstructural aspects on wear of cemented carbides

    Author : Håkan Engqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : Cemented carbides are known to be very wear resistant and are therefore often usedin applications involving surface damage and wear. The work presented hereinvestigates the coupling between the microstructure and some fundamental wearand deformation mechanisms typical for cemented carbides. READ MORE
