Tribological properties of Al2O3 layers after thermo-chemical treatment

Tribological Properties of AlSi12-Al2O3 Interpenetrating Composite Layers in Comparison with Unreinforced Matrix Alloy

Alumina-Aluminum composites with interpenetrating network structures are a new class of advanced materials with potentially better properties than composites reinforced by particles or fibers. Local casting reinforcement was proposed to take into account problems with the machinability of this type of materials and the shaping of the finished products. The centrifugal infiltration process fabri...

Tribological performance of Graphene/Carbon nanotube hybrid reinforced Al2O3 composites

Tribological performance of the hot-pressed pure Al2O3 and its composites containing various hybrid contents of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated under different loading conditions using the ball-on-disc method. Benchmarked against the pure Al2O3, the composite reinforced with a 0.5 wt% GNP exhibited a 23% reduction in the friction coefficient along wit...

Thermo-Optical Properties of Thin-Film TiO2–Al2O3 Bilayers Fabricated by Atomic Layer Deposition

We investigate the optical and thermo-optical properties of amorphous TiO2–Al2O3 thin-film bilayers fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Seven samples of TiO2–Al2O3 bilayers are fabricated by growing Al2O3 films of different thicknesses on the surface of TiO2 films of constant thickness (100 nm). Temperature-induced changes in the optical refractive indices of these thin-film bilayers a...

COMPARISON OF THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SURFACE LAYERS OF TiN and CrN

This work revealed the results of comparative surveys of the impact of formed surface layer TiN and CrN and two component surfaces layer TiN-steel and CrN-steel. The slide couple worked in conditions of lubricating the friction area with Lotos Syntetyk 5W/40 and Castrol GTX Magnatec 5W/40 engine oils. In the friction couple the counter sample was made from CuPb30 bearing alloy. The tribological...
