Journal ArticleDOI
Friction behaviour of TiN, CrN and (TiAl)N coatings
Z.P. Huang,Yong Sun,T. Bell +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments have been carried out, using a ball-on-disc testing machine, to investigate the sliding friction behavior of physically vapour-deposited TiN, CrN and (TiAl)N coatings against steel under both dry and lubricated conditions, employing various applied loads and sliding speeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering the Surface with Boron Based Materials
Peter A. Dearnley,T. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: The only commercial coating processes practised have been the thermochemical diffusion techniques termed boronizing or boriding, whereby borone is diffused into, and combines with, the substrate material forming a single or double phase metal boride layer at, and adjacent to, the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tribological behaviour of alumina sliding against Ti6Al4V in unlubricated contact
Hanshan Dong,T. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pin-on-disc tribometer under unlubricated conditions was used to investigate the sliding behavior of alumina balls against a Ti6Al4V disc over a range of loads (5−80 N) and speeds (0.0625−1 m s −1 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of improving tribological performance of UHMWPE by engineering the Ti6Al4V counterfaces
Hanshan Dong,W. Shi,T. Bell +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pin-on-disc tribometer has been used to evaluate the tribological response of UHMWPE to untreated, PVD DLC coated, nitrogen ion implanted, TO-treated, OD-treated Ti6Al4V counterfaces under water lubricated conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tribological behaviour and microscopic wear mechanisms of UHMWPE sliding against thermal oxidation-treated Ti6Al4V
W Shi,Hanshan Dong,T. Bell +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the micro-fatigue mechanism of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) pins sliding against thermal oxidation (TO)-treated Ti6Al4V alloy discs with different levels of average surface roughness was investigated under water lubrication conditions.
