Summary: This study systematically evaluated the wear and friction performance of PEEK material and explored its feasibility as a transmission component. The results showed strong correlations between friction and wear behaviors of PEEK and pressure, velocity, and temperature increase caused by friction. The friction coefficient of PEEK decreased with increasing velocity and pressure, and a proposed empirical formula considered both velocity and pressure.

Summary: Barite sulfate (BaSO4) is an important mineral used in drilling fluids. The wear performance of high chromium white cast iron (HCWCI) and heat-treated steel AISI P20 was compared, with AISI P20 showing better wear resistance. The wear mechanism for HCWCI was abrasive wear, characterized by crack network throughout the carbide phase, while for AISI P20 it was characterized by grooves and ploughing phenomena. The wear depth and worn area increased with increasing load for both materials.

Summary: Friction and wear affect the performance of wire rope and pose serious threats to its reliability. This paper investigates the tribological behavior of a transmission wire rope and examines its strength and fatigue performance under different surface wear conditions. The results reveal that the friction coefficient is influenced by rope structure, contact angle, and sliding velocity, while the wear characteristics mainly include spalling, furrows, and plastic deformation. The sliding velocity also affects the friction temperature rise. The study further demonstrates the impact of surface wear on breaking force, bending fatigue life, and crack propagation rate in the wire rope.

Summary: Over the past decade, the usage of fibre-reinforced biocomposites has become increasingly prominent. While the addition of fibres to biocomposites results in higher fracture toughness, degradation of the material can occur due to intolerance towards filler and fibre content in the biocomposite matrix. Optimisation of resin-fibre-filler ratios is crucial in improving the tribological performance of high load-bearing applications, but the understanding of this performance is limited due to insufficient in-vitro studies on the effect of fibre microstructures.

Summary: In this study, hybrid AA2024 - Si3N4 - SiC - graphite alloy composites were fabricated using the stir casting method, and their physical, mechanical, thermal, thermo-mechanical, fracture toughness, and sliding wear properties were evaluated. The results showed that the density and material stability of the alloy composites improved with reinforcement content, while porosity and thermal conductivity decreased. The mechanical characteristics significantly improved with the addition of reinforcement, especially in the case of 6 wt.% Si3N4 particulate composite. The wear performance was also improved with higher Si3N4 particulate content, resulting in lower specific wear rate and friction coefficient.
