To compare them with PTFE-40# steel tribo-pairs, the tribological properties of textured PEEK-40# (AISI 1040) steel friction pairs were researched under full-film lubrication conditions by manufacturing micro-dimples with different dimensions on the contact surfaces of 1040 steel discs using laser surface texturing (LST). After repeated tribological tests, the coefficients of friction (COFs), wear losses, and wear morphologies of the PEEK-1040 steel friction pairs were measured and analyzed. The results show that micro-dimples do not significantly reduce the average COFs of PEEK-1040 steel friction pairs when lubricated with a sufficient amount of hydraulic oil, but they do reduce the wear losses of most groups. When the dimple diameter was 250 μm, the dimple depth was 5 μm, the area ratio was 6.6%, and the mass loss of the 1040 steel disc was reduced by 90% compared to the smooth reference. In comparison to the behavior of the PTFE-1040 steel tribo-pairs, PEEK-1040 steel friction pairs can provide better tribological performance, whether smooth or dimple-textured. This study offers important insights for the design of seals in machinery.

Friction surfacing (FS) is a solid-state process for depositing metallurgically bonded coatings for corrosion and wear protection. It is particularly attractive for depositing coatings in materials that are difficult to fusion deposit. Stellite 6 is one such material, which is widely used as a protective coating on steel structures to combat wear and corrosion.

The grind-hardening process is capable of generating a martensitic-based hardened layer on the workpiece surface. The production of a hardened layer can significantly improve the application properties of the workpiece. In fact, theoretical research on the wear process of hardened layers is a powerful key to promoting the grind-hardening process, which is the main focus of the current experimental study.

In response to friction and wear failure of the middle groove of a scraper conveyor, ultrasonic-assisted laser cladding technology was employed to prepare an Fe60/WC composite coating on the surface of 16Mn steel. The microstructure, hardness, friction and wear morphology, and other coating properties were tested and analysed using a microhardness tester, scanning electron microscope, ultradepth digital microscope, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and friction and wear tester. This study examined the impact of ultrasonic-assisted laser cladding technology on the wear resistance of composite coatings.

Powder flow characteristics are crucial for efficient processing and manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry. The occurrence of tribo-charging, a surface phenomenon where particles acquire an electrical charge due to frictional contacts with other particles or surfaces, poses risks for reduced flowability, process inefficiencies, handling difficulties, and ultimately, for the quality of the final products. One strategy to mitigate this effect is the addition of antistatic agents to formulations.
