Abstract

Improving the tribological properties and reducing the friction noise of Inconel 625 is of great significance for the extended application of Inconel 625 in mechanical parts and other fields. In this paper, composite anti-wear surfaces (CASs) with micro-texture filled by Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) were prepared. The tribological and frictional noise properties of CASs and smooth surface (SS) with different texture spacing during dry sliding friction process were studied through a series of experiments, tests and analyses. The results show that CASs can improve tribological properties and noise suppression performance significantly. With the texture density of 25 % (CASs-1200), the friction coefficient is 0.464 under a load of 20 N, the wear rate is about 2.65×10−5 mm3/(N·m), and the friction noise is 88-89.5 dB. Due to the synergistic effect of surface microgrooves and solid lubricants, the excellent tribological performance of CASs was realized. Microgrooves make the lubricant mixture be easier precipitated onto the worn surface. An intact lubrication film with high shear fitness was formed on the worn surface, reducing the direct contact between the grinding ball and the substrate. Meanwhile, it reduces the radiated energy generated by the collision between the counterpart ball and matrix and the transition of counterpart ball on the uneven small platform, so as to achieve the effect of noise suppression. Especially, suppression effect of high-frequency noise in 2400-3000 Hz is close to 100 % in CASs-1200, inhibiting the high-frequency scream effectively.
