Stress-augmented thermal activation: Tribology feels the force

open access: yesFriction, 2018
In stress-augmented thermal activation, the activation energy barrier that controls the rate of atomic and molecular processes is reduced by the application of stress, with the result that the rate of these processes increases exponentially with applied ...

On the Commonality Between Theoretical Models for Fluid and Solid Friction, Wear and Tribochemistry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Tribology is concerned with the influence of mechanically applied forces on interfacial phenomena that accompany and control sliding. A wide range of models has been developed to describe these phenomena, which include frictional dissipation, wear and ...

Electromagnetic Emissions from Quartz Subjected to Shear Stress: Spectral Signatures and Geophysical Implications

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Shear tests on quartz rocks and single quartz crystals have been conducted to understand the possible relationship between the intensity of detectable stress in fault areas and the energy released in the form of electromagnetic waves in the range 30 KHz ...

Velocity effects on the wear, friction and tribochemistry of aluminum MMC sliding against phenolic brake pad

open access: yes, 2004
Two aluminum metal matrix composites (MMC) reinforced with 13 vol.% of SiC or B4C particles were made by stir casting followed by hot extrusion. Effects of sliding velocity on the wear, friction and tribochemistry of the worn surfaces of both composites ...

Tribocorrosion and tribochemistry of cobalt-chromium alloy used for total hip replacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Cobalt-based metallic biomaterials are mostly employed as bearing materials for Total Hip Replacement (THR) owing to their high strength, their biocompatibility, as well as their wear and fatigue resistance.

Inovação para a sustentabilidade

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2013
The transition to sustainable standards of production and consumption within a scenario of decreased availability of natural resources, growing population and climate change is essential to meet current challenges facing mankind. A strategy to meet these

Modelling interfacial tribochemistry in the mixed lubrication regime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The need to reduce the cost of components is driving more and more machine elements to operate under mixed lubrication conditions. With higher operating pressures, the lubricant film is becoming thinner and eventually reaches nanometre scales ...

An investigation of abrasive wear and corrosion behavior of surface repair of gray cast iron by SMAW

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2017
In this work, improving the abrasion–corrosion behavior of gray cast iron used in centrifugal pumps was studied. These pumps are usually made of gray cast iron (BS:1452Gr220) and are repaired by Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW).

In-situ interfacial tribochemistry toward eliminating red-scale of silicon steel in friction process

open access: yes, 2020
Irregularly striped red-scale defects are often formed on hot rolled silicon steel strips, and some still remain on the surface even after pickling. In this study, an in-situ interfacial tribochemistry concept was proposed to eliminate red-scale silicon ...
