Surface structuring of case hardened chain pins by cold-sprayed microparticles to modify friction and wear properties

This paper presents the results of the application of a cold spray technique for structuring metallic surfaces with microparticles.The resulting changes in surface properties were characterized to observe their influences on the tribological behavior of the structured surface.The spray technique was applied to a technical component,a 16MnCr5 steel chain pin,designed to be mounted in a linear reciprocating tribometer.TiO_2 microparticles were used to structure the surface with a homogeneous distribution of singly dispersed particles,rather than a homogeneous closed coating on the surface.Tribometer tests were performed to directly compare structured and unstructured chain pins,and a significantly reduced sliding friction coefficient was observed for the structured pin.The pins were characterized in detail by surface analysis prior to and after application of the tribological load to set the surface parameters and surface chemistry,even on the microscale.It was confirmed that the particle structuring induced changes in the surface properties,and the durability of the changes after tribological loading was evaluated.     

中碳钢/不锈钢磁场摩擦中磨屑的行为和作用

以45钢销/302不锈钢盘摩擦副为研究对象,采用自制的销、盘摩擦磨损试验机,研究了直流磁场作用下磨屑在摩擦过程中的行为及其对摩擦磨损性能的作用. 为此分析了有、无磁场作用下磨屑在磨损面上的分布特点,利用扫描电镜观察了磨屑及45钢销磨损面的形貌,采用三维形貌仪表征了磨损面特征区域的相对高度. 与无磁场时的摩擦磨损情况相比,磁场作用下45钢销的磨损量有所增大,而摩擦系数稍有减小. 摩擦过程中出现了302不锈钢盘向45钢销的材料转移并形成了不连续的转移层,该转移层相对高度较大,承担了主要的摩擦磨损并趋于平滑. 磁场作用下45钢销磨损面吸附少量磨屑并使之细化和氧化,该吸附磨屑在一定程度上减小了摩擦副的摩擦系数,并阻碍试样之间的材料转移,从而增加了45钢销的磨损量.      

On the spray drying of uniform functional microparticles

Spray drying is a typical method to produce particles in dry powder forms at industrial scale.Most spray-dried products often show a wide range of particle properties even within the same batch.At Monash University,we utilise a microfluidic spray drying approach to generate uniform microparticles with tightly controlled characteristics and sizes in a scalable,almost waste-free process.The technique is useful to correlate the effects of formulation and spray drying conditions on the properties of spray-dried particles,and can be used to test new formulations for targeted applications such as encapsulation and release of active ingredients.The synthesis route can be applied to other self-assembling systems,including mesoporous,crystalline,and hierarchically structured microparticles.As spray drying is commonly used in commercial scales,the understanding of how functional particles are formed in relation to formulations and process conditions could assist in developing a cost effective,energy and material-efficient route to produce powders with better properties and ease of handling for more advanced applications such as selective adsorption and bio-separation.

几种油性剂和极压抗磨剂对T8钢/Al2O3摩擦磨损性能的影响

采用Falex型摩擦磨损试验机考察了T8钢／Al2O3陶瓷摩擦副在3种油性剂(T405、T406和T451)与3种极压抗磨剂(T309、T306、T321)作用下的摩擦学性能；用扫描电子显微镜观察试销表面磨损状态；用俄歇电子能谱仪分析了摩擦表面元素化学成分。结果表明：3种油性剂都可以不同程度地改善摩擦副的摩擦磨损性能，其中尤以T405作用效果最佳；3种极压抗磨剂均具有较好的减磨抗磨性能，其中T309的抗磨性能最为突出，T321与T306可以明显降低摩擦系数，相比之下两者磨损率较大；俄歇电子能谱分析揭示在T309作用下，由于摩擦化学反应在T8钢试销磨损表面形成了含S、P物质层；油性剂作用下摩擦副的磨损形式主要为磨料磨损，而T309作用下磨损形式主要为磨料磨损与摩擦化学(腐蚀)磨损。

An experimental method for evaluating the heat transfer coefficient of liquid-cooled short pin fins using infrared thermography

The aim of this research is to evaluate the convective heat transfer coefficient of liquid cooled short pin fins by means of the infrared thermography. An experimental apparatus was set-up to analyze single, in-line and staggered array configurations of short pin fins. In this work the attention is focused on single pins having different shapes: circular, square, triangular and rhomboidal. The infrared thermography is used to indirectly measure the lateral pin temperature by observing the upper surface temperature of radially heated pins; these are placed in a test section chamber equipped with a Zinc Selenide infrared window. Flow visualizations by means of ink tracers are also carried out to relate the thermal behavior with the flow field. Regressions by the Zukauskas correlation were performed for each shape and new coefficients were carried out; a comparison among the different pin geometries underlines a better thermal exchange for the triangular and rhomboidal pins.

Investigation on convective heat transfer over a rotating disk with discrete pins

A three-dimensional numerical study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics over a rotating disk surface with discrete pins was conducted by the use of RNG k–ε turbulent model. And some experiments were also made for validation. The effects of rotating angular speed and pin configuration on the temperature maps and convective heat transfer characteristics on the rotating surface were analyzed. As the increase of rotating velocity, the impingement of pumping jet on the centre of rotating disk becomes stronger and the transition from laminar to turbulent occurs at the outer radius of rotating disk, which resulting in heat transfer enhancement. The pins on the disk make the pumping action of a rotating disk weaker. Simultaneously, they also act as perturbing elements to the cyclone flow near the rotating disk surface, making the overall heat transfer to be enhanced. The needle pins have higher convective heat transfer capacity than the discrete ring pins with the same extend pin areas.

Distribution of the friction heat between two stationary pins and a rotating disc

A closed-form model for the computation of heat fluxes distribution between two motionless cylindrical pins and a fast rotating disc is investigated. Based on a finite Fourier transform technique and an asymptotic analysis, a series solution for the disc surface temperature is obtained. The solution for the pin is trivial. By matching the average temperatures over the contact areas the coefficients of the heat distribution between a pin and a disc are found. It is demonstrated that the present analysis covers the previously known case of one pin as well as new results are obtained. Received on 4 November 1996     

Bearing Load Measurement in a Hydropower Unit Using Strain Gauges Installed Inside Pivot Pin

To determine a machine’s mechanical condition it is of importance to know the radial bearing forces in the machine. Radial forces are caused by magnetic pull forces in the generator, clamped shafts, mass unbalance and flow properties around the turbine. Measuring the shaft displacement in the bearing or the bearing housing acceleration is not sufficient for status determination of a vertical hydropower unit. It is the magnitude and frequencies of the radial forces in combination with structure properties which give information as to whether a measured value is harmful or not. This paper presents an alternative method for measurement of radial bearing load in a hydropower unit. The method presented in this paper is based on strain measurements on pivot pins. The pivot pins are placed behind the bearing pad and the radial loads acting on the pad propagate through the pivot pin. New pivot pins were purchased and equipped with strain gauges. The new pivot pins were calibrated and a transfer function between applied load and measured output voltage was identified for each pivot pin. After calibration the pivot pins were installed in a vertical hydropower unit. Measurements were performed for several different operating modes of the hydropower unit. To verify that the measured load levels were of right order of magnitude, the radial bearing loads were calculated from numerical simulations of bearing properties and shaft eccentricity measurements. The two methods for determining bearing load showed almost the same results. This indicates that either method can be used to determine bearing load.
