Sliding Wear Properties of near β Titanium Alloy as a Function of β Solution Treatment Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present paper describes the effect of β solution treatment temperature on the sliding wear properties of near β titanium alloy (Ti-10V-4.5Fe-3Al) was examined under three different temperatures 800, 900 and 1000 °C, varying applied load 3, 6 and 9 kgf at a fixed rotational speed of 500 rpm for 16 minutes duration. The track diameter is varied 40, 80 and 120 mm in order to vary the sliding distance or sliding velocity. The sliding wear beahviour was studied using pin-on-disc apparatus against steel counter surface giving emphasis on the parameters such as weight loss as a function of sliding distance and applied load. It was observed from the results that the % weight loss is increases with increase in sliding distance and the load. It is also observed that the % weight loss increases with decreasing the β solution treatment temperature. Form the ANOVA analysis, it revealed that the β solution treatment temperature is not influencing that much on % weight loss as compared to that of load and sliding distance.
