The effects of ultrasonic nanocrystalline surface modification (UNSM) on the tribological characteristics of two different Cu-based alloys sintered on low carbon steel were investigated using a ball-on-disk reciprocating tribometer with a hardened bearing steel ball under oil-lubricated conditions. Experimental results showed that both the UNSM-treated Cu-based alloy specimens reduced the friction coefficient and enhanced the wear resistance compared to those of the polished specimens. Improvements in tribological characteristics of the UNSM-treated specimens may be attributed to the corrugated nano-scale dimpled and nanostructured surfaces and increased hardness. Addition of the 0.52% ferrum to Cu-based alloy is found to be beneficial in improving the tribological characteristics and in reducing the grain size. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze the worn surfaces and characterize the wear mechanisms of the polished and UNSM-treated specimens. SEM analyses showed that the UNSM could reduce the abrasive wear which was the dominant wear mechanism of both Cu-based alloys specimens. In addition, the density and porosity measurement of both sintered Cu-based alloys revealed that the density increased and the porosity decreased after UNSM.

The contact between enamel and an antagonist surface is the primary factor in tooth wear. Loss of tooth structure can cause changes in occlusion, chewing functionality, dental sensitivity, and appearance. However, enamel wear caused by opposing restorations is multifactorial and there is a lack of consensus regarding its behavior.

Coatings based on refractory metals and compounds have been used in various industries since the last century due to their high thermal and heat resistance, as well as their excellent mechanical and tribological properties. Advances have made it possible to apply high-tech methods for their production, which has improved their availability and expanded their range of applications. A promising area of use of coatings based on refractory systems is the anticorrosion protection of structural materials.

This study explored how post-casting heat treatment and forging affected the tribological and microstructural characteristics of 0.20% beryllium (Be)-added CuAlNiFe alloys. The heat-treated CuAlNiFe microstructure exhibits a copper-rich α (alpha)-solid-solution phase, a martensitic β (beta)-phase, and diverse intermetallic κ (kappa)-phases, such as leaf-shaped κ, thin κ, and black globs.

Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites (CFRP) demonstrate superior wear resistance and fatigue durability, which are anticipated to markedly enhance the service life of structures under complex conditions. In the present paper, the friction behaviors and wear mechanisms of CFRP under different applied loads, sliding speeds, service temperatures, and water lubrication were studied and analyzed in detail. The results indicated that the tribological properties of CFRP were predominantly influenced by the applied loads, as the tangential displacement generated significant shear stress at the interface of the friction pair.

Interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs) are gaining popularity because of their unique topological characteristics, which include their light weight and ability to conduct electricity. Herein, a novel metal‒polymer IPC composed mainly of a 3D nickel foam(NF) at the microscale and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) matrix are developed. Moreover, a nanonetwork composed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) bridging the nickel skeleton and PTFE matrix is created within the IPC via a simple impregnation method.
