Trzepieciński T, Szwajka K, Szewczyk M, Barlak M, Zielińska-Szwajka J. Effect of Countersample Coatings on the Friction Behaviour of DC01 Steel Sheets in Bending-under-Tension Friction Tests. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:3631. [PMID: 39124296 PMCID: PMC11312654 DOI: 10.3390/ma17153631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the influence of the type of hard anti-wear coatings on the friction behaviour of DC01 deep-drawing steel sheets. DC01 steel sheets exhibit high formability, and they are widely used in sheet metal forming operations. The tribological properties of the tool surface, especially the coating used, determine the friction conditions in sheet metal forming. In order to carry out the research, this study developed and manufactured a special bending-under-tension (BUT) friction tribometer that models the friction phenomenon on the rounded edges of tools in the deep-drawing process. The rationale for building the tribotester was that there are no commercial tribotesters available that can be used to model the phenomenon of friction on the rounded edges of tools in sheet forming processes. The influence of the type of coating and sheet deformation on the coefficient of friction (CoF) and the change in the topography of the sheet surface were analysed. Countersamples with surfaces prepared using titanium + nitrogen ion implantation, nitrogen ion implantation and electron beam remelting were tested. The tests were carried out in conditions of dry friction and lubrication with oils with different kinematic viscosities. Under dry friction conditions, a clear increase in the CoF value, with the elongation of the samples for all analysed types of countersamples, was observed. Under lubricated conditions, the uncoated countersample showed the most favourable friction conditions. Furthermore, oil with a lower viscosity provided more favourable conditions for reducing the coefficient of friction. Within the entire range of sample elongation, the most favourable conditions for reducing the CoF were provided by uncoated samples and lubrication with S100+ oil. During the friction process, the average roughness decreased as a result of flattening the phenomenon. Under dry friction conditions, the value of the Sa parameter during the BUT test decreased by 20.3-30.2%, depending on the type of countersample. As a result of the friction process, the kurtosis and skewness increased and decreased, respectively, compared to as-received sheet metal.

Abstract
The scope of multifunctional surfaces in mechanical engineering and instrumentation is constantly expanding. Examples are products with multilayer coatings, products made of composite materials or using additive manufacturing technologies. A feature of multifunctional surfaces is two levels of texture with different parameter values. Various types of filters are used to decomposition and then analyze texture components. Traditionally, for such problems, a robust Gaussian regression filter and a morphological filter are used. The advantage of the morphological filter lies in the lower computational complexity and the ease of removing the shape component from the profile. This research presents generalized analysis of various types of an asymmetric morphological filter based on simulation. The asymmetric filter differs from the standard morphological filter by using different nesting indexes for combinations of morphological opening and closing operations. We have designed a compositional model of profile, which is superposition of two Gaussian distributions with different parameters and waviness. Relative filtering error of the arithmetic mean heights Ra was chosen as evaluation parameter. Based on the Monte Carlo experiments technique, the relative errors of the filters are determined. The main result of the research is algorithm for choosing nesting indexes depending on the type of primary profile. Thus, we give scientifically justified choice of the filter type and its task-specific parameters for applied use. The choice of filter type and two different nesting indexes in accordance with the developed algorithm provide relative error with a coverage interval less 3 % for 95 % coverage probability. The asymmetric morphological filter is effective for scale space analysis of surfaces with significant shape errors and waviness. The results obtained can be used to analyze the tribological properties of multifunctional surfaces of products.

Abstract
The role of bore and trunnion surface topography on the failure rate of total hip joint replacements due to trunnionosis is not clear despite significant variations in the design of taper components between manufacturers. Taper surface topography, along with other taper design parameters such as clearance, diameter, and assembly force, determine the initial interlock of the contacting surfaces after assembly; this has been related to relative motions that can cause fretting and corrosion at the taper interface. However, in most in-silico parametrical taper studies associated with taper micromotions, the bore and trunnion surfaces have been simplified using a flat surface and/or sinusoidal functions to mimic the surface roughness. The current study tests the hypothesis that the use of simple geometrical functions for the taper surface topography can predict the surface mechanics developed in assembled tapers. Measured and simulated surfaces of bores and trunnions were characterised using common roughness parameters and spectral density estimations. Using the same characterised surface profiles, 2D Finite Element (FE) models of CoCr alloy femoral heads and Ti alloy trunnions were developed. Models simulated assembly conditions at different resultant forces ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 kN, contact conditions were determined and associated with their topographical characteristics. Measured surfaces of bore and trunnion components comprise up to seven dominant spatial frequencies. Flattening of the trunnion microgrooved peaks was observed during the assembly of the taper. When the femoral head bore and trunnion topography were both considered a reduced number of microgrooved peaks were in contact, from 51 in an idealised taper surfaces to 35 in measured surfaces using an assembly reaction force of 4 kN. The contact points in the models developed high plastic strains, which were greater than that associated with failure of the material. Results showed that line and sine wave functions over estimate contact points at the taper interface compared to those surfaces that consider roughness and peak variation. These findings highlight the important role of modelling the full surface topography on the taper contact mechanics, as surface variations in the roughness and waviness change the performance of tapers.

[PMID: 36984219 PMCID: PMC10057321 DOI: 10.3390/ma16062338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Aluminium alloy sheets cause many problems in sheet metal forming processes owing to their tendency to gall the surface of the tool. The paper presents a method for the determination of the kinematic friction coefficient of friction pairs. The determination of coefficient of friction (COF) in sheet metal forming requires specialised devices that 'simulate' friction conditions in specific areas of the formed sheet. In this article, the friction behaviour of aluminium alloy sheets was determined using the strip drawing test. The 1-mm-thick 6082 aluminium alloy sheets in T6 temper were used as test material. Different values for nominal pressures (4.38, 6.53, 8.13, 9.47, 10.63, and 11.69 MPa) and different sliding speeds (10 and 20 mm/min.) were considered. The change of friction conditions was also realised with several typical oils (hydraulic oil LHL 32, machine oil LAN 46 and engine oil SAE 5W-40 C3) commonly used in sheet metal forming operations. Friction tests were conducted at room temperature (24 °C). The main tribological mechanisms accompanying friction (adhesion, flattening, ploughing) were identified using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The influence of the parameters of the friction process on the value of the COF was determined using artificial neural networks. The lowest value of the COF was recorded when lubricating the sheet metal surface with SAE 5W40 C3 engine oil, which is characterised as the most viscous of all tested lubricants. In dry friction conditions, a decreasing trend of the COF with increasing contact pressure was observed. In the whole range of applied contact pressures (4.38-11.69 MPa), the value of the COF during lubrication with SAE 5W40 C3 engine oil was between 0.14 and 0.17 for a sliding speed of 10 mm/min and between 0.13 and 0.16 for a sliding speed of 20 mm/min. The value of the COF during dry friction was between 0.23 and 0.28 for a sliding speed of 10 mm/min and between 0.22 and 0.26 for a sliding speed of 20 mm/min. SEM micrographs revealed that the main friction mechanism of 6082-T6 aluminium alloys sheet in contact with cold-work tool steel flattens surface asperities. The sensitivity analysis of the input parameters on the value of COF revealed that oil viscosity has the greatest impact on the value of the COF, followed by contact pressure and sliding speed.

Abstract
Characterization of surface topography, roughly divided into measurement and data analysis, can be valuable in the process of validation of the tribological performance of machined parts. Surface topography, especially the roughness, can respond straightly to the machining process and, in some cases, is defined as a fingerprint of the manufacturing. When considering the high precision of surface topography studies, the definition of both S-surface and L-surface can drive many errors that influence the analysis of the accuracy of the manufacturing process. Even if precise measuring equipment (device and method) is provided but received data are processed erroneously, the precision is still lost. From that matter, the precise definition of the S-L surface can be valuable in the roughness evaluation allowing a reduction in the rejection of properly made parts. In this paper, it was proposed how to select an appropriate procedure for the removal of the L- and S- components from the raw measured data. Various types of surface topographies were considered, e.g., plateau-honed (some with burnished oil pockets), turned, milled, ground, laser-textured, ceramic, composite, and, generally, isotropic. They were measured with different (stylus and optical) methods, respectively, and parameters from the ISO 25178 standard were also taken into consideration. It was found that commonly used and available commercial software methods can be valuable and especially helpful in the precise definition of the S-L surface; respectively, its usage requires an appropriate response (knowledge) from the users.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1782. [PMID: 36902898 PMCID: PMC10003917 DOI: 10.3390/ma16051782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The micro-defects on KH2PO4 (KDP) optic surfaces are mainly repaired by the micro-milling technique, while it is very easy to introduce brittle cracks on repaired surfaces, as KDP is soft and brittle. To estimate machined surface morphologies, the conventional method is surface roughness, but it fails to distinguish ductile-regime machining from brittle-regime machining directly. To achieve this objective, it is of great significance to explore new evaluation methods to further characterize machined surface morphologies. In this study, the fractal dimension (FD) was introduced to characterize the surface morphologies of soft-brittle KDP crystals machined by micro bell-end milling. The 3D and 2D fractal dimensions of the machined surfaces and their typical cross-sectional contours have been calculated, respectively, based on Box-counting methods, and were further discussed comprehensively by combining the analysis of surface quality and textures. The 3D FD is identified to have a negative correlation with surface roughness (Sa and Sq), meaning the worse the surface quality the smaller the FD. The circumferential 2D FD could quantitively characterize the anisotropy of micro-milled surfaces, which could not be analyzed by surface roughness. Normally, there is obvious symmetry of 2D FD and anisotropy on the micro ball-end milled surfaces generated by ductile-regime machining. However, once the 2D FD is distributed asymmetrically and the anisotropy becomes weaker, the assessed surface contours would be occupied by brittle cracks and fractures, and corresponding machining processes will be in a brittle regime. This fractal analysis would facilitate the accurate and efficient evaluation of the repaired KDP optics by micro-milling.

Surface Topography Model of Ultra-High Strength Steel AF1410 Based on Dynamic Characteristics of Milling System. Processes (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
AF1410 is a low carbon high alloy ultra-high strength steel. It not only has high strength and high toughness, but also has a high stress corrosion resistance. However, due to the characteristics of hard quality and poor thermal conductivity, AF1410 is a difficult material to process. In the process of milling, the geometric factors of process parameters, the flexible deformation of milling cutter and the flutter of the process system all affect the surface roughness, which makes it difficult to predict the surface roughness of milling parts. In order to solve this problem, a prediction model for surface topography of ultrahigh strength steel AF1410 was studied. To solve this problem, this paper studies the formation of milling surface topography, considers the dynamic displacement of the milling system, proposes a modeling method of surface topography based on the dynamic characteristics of the milling system and forms a prediction model. On this basis, the surface topography of ultra-high strength steel is simulated and analyzed, and the accuracy of the model is verified by experiments. The study realizes the prediction of milling surface topography of AF1410 parts and reveals the formation mechanism of milling surface topography from geometric and physical perspectives.

Abstract
20Cr2Ni4A alloy is widely used in the manufacturing of heavy-duty gears, although limited information about its machinability during the form-grinding process has been reported. In this work, form-grinding trials on transmission gears of 20Cr2Ni4A alloy under various parameters were conducted. Surface morphology of the gear tooth, surface roughness distribution and microstructure evolution of the machined surface layer were comprehensively studied, and the influence of grinding parameters on grinding performance was investigated. The formation mechanisms of surface/subsurface defects during the form-grinding process, including plastic flow, deep grooves, successive crushing zone, adhesive chips and cavities, were analyzed. Results showed that the change in contact conditions between the grinding wheel and tooth surface led to the decrease in the surface roughness from tooth tip to root. Mechanical force and grinding heat promoted the deformation and refinement of the microstructure within the machined surface layer. With the increase in cutting depth and feed speed, the deformation ratio of the microstructure increased, which was also consistent with the variation trend in the form-grinding temperature.

Abstract
Errors that occur when surface topography is measured and analysed can be classified depending on the type of surface studied. Many types of surface topographies are considered when frequency-based errors are studied. However, turned surface topography is not comprehensively studied when data processing errors caused by false estimation (definition and suppression) of selected surface features (form or noise) are analysed. In the present work, the effects of the application of various methods (regular Gaussian regression, robust Gaussian regression, and spline and fast Fourier Transform filters) for the suppression of high-frequency measurement noise from the raw measured data of turned surface topography are presented and compared. The influence and usage of commonly used available commercial software, e.g., autocorrelation function, power spectral density, and texture direction, which function on the values of areal surface topography parameters from selected (ISO 25178) standards, are also introduced. Analysed surfaces were measured with a stylus or via non-contact (optical-white light interferometry) methods. It was found that the characterisation of surface topography, based on the analysis of selected features, can be crucial in reducing measurement and data analysis errors when various filters are applied. Moreover, the application of common functions can be advantageous when feature-based studies are proposed for both profile and areal data processing.

Thresholding Methods for Reduction in Data Processing Errors in the Laser-Textured Surface Topography Measurements. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15155137.

Abstract
There are many factors influencing the accuracy of surface topography measurement results: one of them is the vibrations caused by the high-frequency noise occurrence. It is extremely difficult to extract results defined as noise from the real measured data, especially the application of various methods requiring skilled users and, additionally, the improper use of software may cause errors in the data processing. Accordingly, various thresholding methods for the minimization of errors in the raw surface topography data processing were proposed and compared with commonly used (available in the commercial software) techniques. Applied procedures were used for the minimization of errors in the surface topography parameters (from ISO 25178 standard) calculation after the removal and reduction, respectively, of the high-frequency noise (S-filter). Methods were applied for analysis of the laser-textured surfaces with a comparison of many regular methods, proposed previously in the commercial measuring equipment. It was found that the application of commonly used algorithms can be suitable for the processing of the measured data when selected procedures are provided. Moreover, errors in both the measurement process and the data processing can be reduced when thresholding methods support regular algorithms and procedures. From applied, commonly used methods (regular Gaussian regression filter, robust Gaussian regression filter, spline filter and fast Fourier transform filter), the most encouraging results were obtained for high-frequency noise reduction in laser-textured details when the fast Fourier transform filter was supported by a thresholding approach.

Abstract
Using an adaptive noise canceling technique (ANCT) and distance ratio principal component analysis (DRPCA), this paper proposes a new fault diagnostic model for multi-degree tooth-cut failures (MTCF) in a gearbox operating at inconsistent speeds. To account for background and disturbance noise in the vibration characteristics of gear failures, the proposed approach employs ANCT in the first stage to optimize vibration signals. The ANCT applies an adaptive denoising technique to each basic frequency segment in the whole frequency response of vibrations. Following that, a novel DRPCA is used to extract the discriminating low-dimensional features. The DRPCA initially determines each feature's relative proximity to fault categories by computing the average Euclidian distance ratio between similar and dissimilar classes. The most discriminatory features with the lowest dimensions are selected, as determined by principal component analysis (PCA). The new DRPCA is created by combining distance ratio-based feature inspection with PCA. The optimal feature set containing the most discriminative features is then fed to the support vector machine classifier to identify multiple failure categories. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-art approaches and offers the highest identification accuracy.

Abstract
Various methods, based on both surface frequency and direction, can be alternatively proposed to reduce the influence of high-frequency measurement and data analysis errors. Various types of details were studied, e.g., cylinder liners after the plateau-honing process, plateau-honed cylinder liners with additionally burnished oil pockets (dimples), turned, ground, milled or laser-textured. They were measured with stylus or non-contact (optic) techniques. It was suggested to support various frequency-based methods, e.g., Frequency Spectrum, Power Spectral Densities or Autocorrelation Function, with direction techniques to provide reduction of errors in both detection and extraction of high-frequency measurement errors. Results can be especially valuable for regular studies when frequency-based measurement errors are difficult to be identified.
