Dry Sliding Wear Characteristics of NiP/TiN Duplex Coated Aluminum Alloy and Wear Analysis Using Response Surface Method
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work, the effects of applied load, sliding velocity, and sliding distance on the tribological characteristics of 6061 aluminum alloy coated with NiP/TiN duplex coating were experimentally investigated and simulated by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Dry sliding wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-disc apparatus. A developed model was proposed to predict the wear depth and friction coefficient of the coated specimens. According to the outcome of developed model, coefficient of determination values of 99.95 and 94.39% were obtained for the wear depth and friction coefficient, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination of the worn surfaces after 500 m sliding revealed slight wear on the surface of the duplex coating under 2 N load (with the final friction coefficient of 0.35). By increasing the load to 7 N, heavier wear was observed, and the final friction coefficient was increased to 0.5. At the load of 12 N, both TiN and NiP layers were removed, and the final friction coefficient of 0.8 was recorded. Ultimately, wear analysis using RSM revealed that the applied load was the most important factor influencing the wear depth and friction coefficient of the coated specimens.
