It directly affects the contact characteristics between the rack and gear and leads to accelerated surface wear. This threatens the stability and service life of the rack system, and the theoretical understanding of this issue remains limited. To address this gap, this study develops an improved tooth wear model that simultaneously accounts for the instantaneous variations in meshing stiffness and dynamic transmission error(DTE) induced by PDRJ, as well as the real-time correlation between gear-rack contact position and meshing excitation. Subsequently, the rack tooth load and wear characteristics are evaluated through the rack vehicle-track coupled dynamics and gear-rack contact model. The model's reliability is verified through field measurements. Moreover, the influence of varying PDRJ levels on load sharing factors, surface wear depth, and rack displacement is investigated. The results show that PDRJ disrupts the theoretical gear-rack meshing process, resulting in non-uniform load distribution and accelerated wear, particularly in the addendum and dedendum regions of the rack teeth. This study provides valuable insights into the rack surface wear mechanism under PDRJ.展开更多

The addition of up to 2.5wt% Ti C significantly improved the mechanical properties, including a notable 18.2% increase in hardness(HV 332). Fretting wear tests against 316L stainless steel(SS316L) balls demonstrated a 20wt%–22wt% reduction in wear volume in the Ti6Al4V/Ti C composites compared with the monolithic alloy. Microstructural analysis revealed that Ti C reinforcement controlled the grain orientation and reduced the β-phase content, which contributed to enhanced mechanical properties. The monolithic alloy exhibited a Widmanstätten lamellar microstructure, while increasing the Ti C content modified the wear mechanisms from ploughing and adhesion(0–0.5wt%) to pitting and abrasion(1wt%–2.5wt%). At higher reinforcement levels, the formation of a robust oxide layer through tribo-oxide treatment effectively reduced the wear volume by minimizing the abrasive effects and plastic deformation. This study highlights the potential of SPS-mediated Ti C reinforcement as a transformative approach for improving the performance of Ti6Al4V alloys, paving the way for advanced medical applications.展开更多

文摘Co-based alloy coating was prepared on Zr alloy using laser melting and cladding technique to study the difference in the high-temperature oxidation behavior between pure metal Co coatings and Co-T800 alloy coatings,as well as the wear resistance of the coatings.Besides,the effect of changing the laser melting process on the coatings was also investigated.The oxidation mass gain at 800–1200℃and the high-temperature oxidation behavior during high-temperature treatment for 1 h of two coated Zr alloy samples were studied.Results show that the Co coating and the Co-T800 coating have better resistance against high-temperature oxidation.After oxidizing at 1000℃for 1 h,the thickness of the oxide layer of the uncoated sample was 241.0μm,whereas that of the sample with Co-based coating is only 11.8–35.5μm.The friction wear test shows that the depth of the abrasion mark of the coated sample is only 1/2 of that of the substrate,indicating that the hardness and wear resistance of the Zr substrate are greatly improved.The disadvantage of Co-based coatings is the inferior corrosion resistance in 3.5wt%NaCl solution.
文摘Large portions of the tunnel boring machine(TBM)construction cost are attributed to disc cutter consumption,and assessing the disc cutter's wear level can help determine the optimal time to replace the disc cutter.Therefore,the need to monitor disc cutter wear in real-time has emerged as a technical challenge for TBMs.In this study,real-time disc cutter wear monitoring is developed based on sound and vibration sensors.For this purpose,the microphone and accelerometer were used to record the sound and vibration signals of cutting three different types of rocks with varying abrasions on a laboratory scale.The relationship between disc cutter wear and the sound and vibration signal was determined by comparing the measurements of disc cutter wear with the signal plots for each sample.The features extracted from the signals showed that the sound and vibration signals are impacted by the progression of disc wear during the rock-cutting process.The signal features obtained from the rock-cutting operation were utilized to verify the machine learning techniques.The results showed that the multilayer perceptron(MLP),random subspace-based decision tree(RS-DT),DT,and random forest(RF)methods could predict the wear level of the disc cutter with an accuracy of 0.89,0.951,0.951,and 0.927,respectively.Based on the accuracy of the models and the confusion matrix,it was found that the RS-DT model has the best estimate for predicting the level of disc wear.This research has developed a method that can potentially determine when to replace a tool and assess disc wear in real-time.

文摘The good combination of mechanical and wear properties for cemented carbides is crucial.In this work,the wear behavior of functionally graded cemented carbide(FGCC)and non-graded cemented carbide(CC),with CoNiFeCr multi-principal-element alloy(MPEA)binder,has been investigated by performing sliding wear tests and composition characterization.The results showed that compared with CC,FGCC had higher hardness,stronger fracture toughness,better wear performance,and similar TRS.FGCCs exhibited lower wear rates(3.44×10^(−7)–6.95×10^(−6)mm^(3)/(N m))and coefficients of friction(COFs)(0.27–0.39)than CCs from RT to 600℃due to mitigation of multiple risks caused by binder removal,fragmentation and pull-out of WC grains,high-temperature oxidation and softening.In the low-temperature wear stage,the MPEA binder underwent dynamic recrystallization(DRX)and twinning deformation before removing from the surface.The binder removal caused dislocation pile-ups and stacking faults(SFs)to form under high stress,resulting in fragmentation and pull-out of WC grains.The low-temperature wear was dominated by abrasive wear and adhesive wear,with a low wear rate and a high and unstable COF.In the high-temperature wear stage,initial pitting oxidation of WC grains generated many subgrain boundaries,reducing heat transfer and exacerbating oxidation,resulting in an oxide layer enriched with WO3,Mx Oy,and MWO4.High-temperature wear was dominated by oxidation wear and high-temperature softening,with a high wear rate and a low and smooth COF.The results from the present study do not only provide theoretical guidance for an understanding of the antiwear mechanism of WC-CoNiFeCr,but also a new approach for the preparation of cemented carbides with high wear resistance.

文摘WC particles reinforced CoCrFeNiMo high-entropy alloy(HEA)composite coatings were prepared on Cr12MoV steel successfully by laser cladding technology to improve the wear resistance of substrates.Effect of WC content on microstructure and wear property of the composite coatings was studied in detail.Large numbers of carbides with four main types:primary carbide crystals,eutectic structures,massive crystals growing along the periphery of the remaining WC particles and incompletely fused WC particles,were found to exist in the WC/CoCrFeNiMo composite coatings.With increasing WC content,the microhardness of coatings is gradually improved while the average friction coefficients follow the opposite trend due to solid solution strengthening and second phase strengthening effect.The maximum microhardness and minimum friction coefficient are HV_(0.2)689.7 and 0.72,respectively,for the composite coating with 30 wt.%WC,the wear resistance of the substrate is improved significantly,the wear mechanisms are spalling wear and abrasive wear due to their high microhardness.

文摘The influence of ramps on the transient rolling contact characteristics and damage mechanisms of switch rails remains unclear,presenting substantial challenges to the safety of railway operations.To this end,this paper constructs a transient rolling contact finite element model of the wheel-rail in switch under different ramps using ANSYS/LSDYNA method,and analyzes the tribology and damage characteristics when the wheel passes through the switch at a uniform speed.Our research findings reveal that the vibration induced in the switch rail during the wheel load transfer process leads to a step-like increase in the contact force.Moreover,the interaction between the wheel and the rail primarily involves slip contact,which may significantly contribute to the formation of corrugations on the switch rail.Additionally,the presence of large ramps exacerbates switch rail wear and rolling contact fatigue,resulting in a notable 13.2%increase in switch rail damage under 40‰ramp conditions compared to flat(0‰ramp)conditions.Furthermore,the large ramps can alter the direction of crack propagation,ultimately causing surface spalling of the rail.Therefore,large ramps intensify the dynamic interactions during the wheel load transfer process,further aggravating the crack and spalling damage to the switch rails.

文摘Efficient tool condition monitoring techniques help to realize intelligent management of tool life and reduce tool usage costs.In this paper,the influence of different wear degrees of ball-end milling cutters on the texture shape of machining tool marks is investigated,and a method is proposed for predicting the wear state(including the position and degree of tool wear)of ball-end milling cutters based on entropy measurement of tool mark texture images.Firstly,data samples are prepared through wear experiments,and the change law of the tool mark texture shape with the tool wear state is analyzed.Then,a two-dimensional sample entropy algorithm is developed to quantify the texture morphology.Finally,the processing parameters and tool attitude are integrated into the prediction process to predict the wear value and wear position of the ball end milling cutter.After testing,the correlation between the predicted value and the standard value of the proposed tool condition monitoring method reaches 95.32%,and the accuracy reaches 82.73%,indicating that the proposed method meets the requirement of tool condition monitoring.

文摘This research aimed to overcome challenges such as high costs,lengthy optimization time,and low efficiency in resolving issues related to wheel-rail contact,rail wear,and vehicle dynamics.Based on the wheel-rail contact parameters,an optimal design method for rail grinding target profile is proposed from wear profile measurement to grinding profile design according to the actual railway track and vehicle operating conditions.We utilized Isight to create a simulation test and developed an RBF proxy model that incorporated both mechanical and geometric aspects of wheel-rail contact.By integrating rail modeling,wheel-rail contact analysis,and multi-objective optimization,we established a rail grinding optimization model that was solved using the NSGA-II algorithm.After optimization,the study achieved a 31.863%reduction in average contact stress,a 70.5%reduction in matching wear work,and a 100.391%increase in the difference in rolling radius between the wheel and rail.

文摘Stainless steel parts with complex shape can be fabricated using additive manufacturing,which do not rely on molds and dies.However,coarse dendrites induced by repeated heating of additive manufacturing result in weak properties,which limits its application.In this study,an in-situ ultrasonic rolling(UR)device was developed to assist the laser directed energy deposition(LDED)process.The microstructural characteristics,as well as the microhardness and wear behavior,were studied for the 316L stainless steel manufactured by in-situ ultrasonic rolling assisted LDED.It is found that austenite,ferrite,and small Si oxides are the main constituents of both the LDED and LDED-UR alloy samples.Under the severe plastic deformation of ultrasonic rolling,the long-branched ferrites by LDED are transformed into the rod-like phases by LDED-UR.Meanwhile,the ferrite is more uniformly distributed in the LDED-UR alloy sample compared with that in LDED alloy sample.Columnar grains with the size of 97.85μm appear in the LDED alloy sample,which is larger than the fully equiaxed grains(22.35μm)of the LDED-UR alloy.The hardness of the LDED-UR alloy sample is about 266.13±13.62 HV_(0.2),which is larger than that of the LDED alloy sample(212.93±12.85 HV_(0.2)).Meanwhile,the wear resistance is also greatly enhanced by applying the assisted in-situ ultrasonic rolling.The achieved high wear resistance can be ascribed to the uniformly distributed hard matter(ferrites)and the impedance of dislocations by high fraction of grain boundaries.Abrasive wear and adhesive wear are identified as the primary wear mechanisms of the studied alloy.Gaining an in-depth understanding of the relationship between wear mechanisms and microstructures offers an effective approach in manufacturing high wear resistant alloys suitable for use in harsh working environments.

文摘Laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)has been extensively investigated owing to its high geometry formation accuracy and excellent mechanical properties.However,the LPBFed Haynes 230 parts typically display poor tensile and wear properties due to internal porosity.In this work,the ultrasonic impact treatment(UIT)was applied as a post-treatment to the LPBFed Haynes 230 alloy,porosity and microstructure mod-ulation were performed to improve the strength properties and wear resistance.The pore closure and mi-crostructure were studied by numerical simulations and experiments,and the mechanisms of increasing densification and strength were discussed.Results show that UIT can effectively close pores and reduce porosity,the internal porosity of the ultrasonic impacted layer for one,two,and three times decreases by 63.6%,70.9%,and 81.8%,respectively.Pore closure is attributed to the residual compressive stress and shear stress introduced by UIT.Besides,the UIT weakened texture strength and refined grains,especially promoting the formation of fine grains.Meanwhile,it also promotes the formation of a high disloca-tion density and improves the phase structure distribution.Furthermore,the ultimate tensile and yield strengths of the optimal impact process increased by 9.6%and 34.6%,respectively.The improvement in strength was attributed to dislocation,grain boundary,and promoting densification strengthening.The average friction coefficient reduces by 4.9%-14.6%by refining the surface grains and increasing dislo-cation density.This work has verified the feasibility of improving the mechanical properties and pore closure of the LPBFed Haynes 230 alloy by UIT.

文摘This paper focuses on the use of rotary-percussive drilling for hard rocks.In order to improve efficiency and reduce costs,it is essential to understand how operational parameters,bit wear,and drilling performance are related.A model is presented therein that combines multibody dynamics and discrete element method(DEM)to investigate the influences of operational parameters and bit wear on the rate of penetration and wear characteristics.The model accurately captures the motion of the bit and recreates rock using the cutting sieving result.Field experimental results validate the rod dynamic behavior,rock recreating model,and coupling model in the simulation.The findings indicate that hammer pressure significantly influences the rate of penetration and wear depth of the bit,and there is an optimal range for economical hammer pressure.The wear coefficient has a major effect on the rate of penetration,when wear coefficient is between 1/3 and 2/3.Increasing the wear coefficient can reduce drill bit button pressure and wear depth at the same drill distance.Gauge button loss increases the rate of penetration due to higher pressure on the remaining buttons,which also accelerates destruction of the bit.Furthermore,a more evenly distributed button on the bit enhances the rate of penetration(ROP)when the same number of buttons is lost.

文摘In the present study,AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)eutectic high-entropy alloy(EHEA)has been fabricated by laser melting deposition(LMD).The influence of laser energy density on microstructures,wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the alloy was systematically explored.The results indicate that the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)EHEA exhibited lamellar eutectic microstructures with alternating FCC and BCC phases.With the increase in laser energy density,the alloy grain size,interlamellar spacing,and volume fraction of the FCC phase increased,while the hardness of the alloy decreased.Meanwhile,the tribological performance of the alloy deteriorated with increasing laser energy density,and the combined effects of abrasive wear and adhesive wear gradually became significant.In addition,increasing laser energy density from 18.2 to 25 J/mm^(2)resulted in the increase in corrosion current density of the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)EHEA from 6.36×10^(−8) to 3.02×10^(−7) A/cm^(2)and the negative shift of corrosion potential from−211 to−292 mV(SCE).In summary,reducing laser energy density improved the wear and corrosion performance of the additively manufactured AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)EHEA.
