The Reduction of Wear and Wear Variability Under Lubricated Sliding by Ion Implantation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Block-on-ring wear tests were performed on Ti-implanted AISI 52100 steel sliding against three commercial alloys: CDA 673 brass, AISI 4140 low alloy steel, and AISI 0–6 tool steel. A turbine oil, meeting MIL-L 23699 specifications, was used as the lubricant. The 52100 wear rings were ion implanted to a fluence of 2 × 1017 Ti/cm2 at 55 KeV or 125 KeV. Comparison with non-treated 52100 wear rings indicated that ion implantation reduced the amount of wear and wear variability. It is hypothesized that reduced adhesion and improved lubricant film formation due to the presence of the implanted layer was responsible for the reduction in wear and wear variability.
