Two-body dry abrasive wear of cermets

Investigation on Two-Body Abrasive Wear Behavior of Silicon Carbide Filled Glass Fabric-Epoxy Composites

“…In fact, in practical applications, many components, for example, conveyor belt, shuttle, tillage tools and wind blades are subjected to two-body abrasive wear. The studies covering eighteen types of polymers, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) exhibited the lowest wear rate in abrasion against rough mild steel but the highest wear rate in abrasion with coarse silicon carbide (SiC) abrasive paper [12][13][14][15]. Many researchers have studied the abrasive wear behaviour of polymer composites [16][17][18][19][20].…”

The Aqueous Electrochemical Response of TiC–Stainless Steel Cermets

“…The absence of Fe ions from the solution may indicate the precipitation of Fe in some form, which would then lead to a higher Fe content in the recovered solids component, relative to Ni. As the pH of the NaCl solution is between 5.3-5.8, which is relatively close to the highly acidic and corrosive pH range [0][1][2][3][4], the possibility of Fe precipitation can be justified [50].…”

“…Therefore, these characteristics offer the potential for TiC-based cermets to replace WC-Co in a variety of industrial applications. For example, it has been shown that TiC-based cermets can exhibit sliding wear resistance comparable to or even exceeding that of WC-Co [3][4][5].…”

Materials for Tribology

“…5.4). Figure 6.19 shows the results of abrasion tests carried out using silica particles in the size range 125-180 μm and a testing apparatus similar to the DSRW (but using a metal wheel without a rubber rim) [45]. The results are in the typical range of low-stress abrasion, and highlight the role of the fraction of binder and, most importantly, the role of the grain size.…”
