Abstract

This work presents the effect of ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) on fretting friction and wear properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy that was prepared by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) before and after heat treatment. The results suggest that the heat-treated HIPed Ti-6Al-4V alloy exhibits higher microhardness and surface roughness values along with a grain size of 200 nm under the same USRP treatment. The thickness of the strengthening surface layer of the heat-treated sample was reduced by 20% compared to the unheat-treated sample on the identical USRP treatments. Meanwhile, it has higher coefficient of friction (CoF) and more severe fretting wear scar. Moreover, the wear debris was contained some large blocks. Additionally, the wear mechanism was mainly abrasive and accompanied by a bonding behavior. The sliding regimes were analyzed by the changes in CoFs and fretting wear scars. In addition, the friction temperature and viscoplasticity were also very important for the fretting friction and wear performance under identical slip conditions. Finally, the heat-treated material after USRP showed a higher wear rate because of the change in microstructure and mechanical properties. This would intensify the friction and wear response between the counter grinding sample and target sample.
