Abstract: Actual requirements in the automotive industry are the reduction of fuel consumption
and pollution emission, engine efficiency improvement, as well as cost reduction. Most of these
requirements are fulfilled by reducing the total weight of the vehicle. This results in an increasing
utilization of light metal components for engine applications. Significant weight savings are
obtained by changing the engine block material from cast iron to aluminum or even to magnesium
aluminum hybrid constructions.
Despite of all advantages the industrial implementation of light metals is often inhibited by their
poor surface properties especially concerning wear and tribological behavior. Due to the highly
loaded operation conditions a cylinder liner surface reinforcement is necessary.
A very promising technological alternative is the internal cylinder reinforcement by using HVOF
(high velocity oxygen fuel) sprayed coatings. By using these advanced high energetic coating
technologies, material combinations containing solid lubricant ceramic dispersions can be
deposited. The thermal spray processes represent a cost effective and flexible solution for ultra light
weight engine technology. This research is focused on the development of HVOF sprayed coating
systems for cylinder liners, the coating optimization and the cost effective implementation of this
hypersonic spray technology in a series production process.
It will be shown that cast engine block bores can be directly coated by using an automated
HVOF process, obtaining improved coating results. The internal coating process by hypersonic
flame spraying is a superior technological alternative to the APS process for high quality cylinder
liner and engine crankcase applications.

Abstract: A commercial RF-sputtering deposition rig was employed to deposit H-free diamond-like
carbon (DLC) coatings. The influence of alloying elements such as Ti and Si on the structure,
mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings was investigated. The coating was observed in
cross section and in plan view with SEM, TEM and AFM. Because of the highly-ionized plasma
generated by the RF-powered glow discharge, ion bombardment suppresses the formation of a
columnar structure regardless of the composition of the coatings. The method produces featureless
microstructures and smooth surfaces. TEM investigations confirm that no crystalline phases form in
the coatings regardless of the presence of considerable concentrations of Ti and Si. Tribological tests
were performed with a high-temperature tribometer in a ball-on-disk configuration, using coated
disks and different materials for the ball countepart. At ambient T the sliding friction coefficient
decreases as the concentration of alloying elements increases. Nevertheless, high-T tribotests with a
constant thermal load showed that the presence of alloying elements decreases the thermal stability of
the coatings. For each coating a temperature exists above which a sudden increase of friction
coefficient is observed, with subsequent detachment and failure of the coatings. The mechanism of
disruption of the self-lubrication effects is identified and the influence of the alloying elements on the
thermal degradation of tribological performance of the coatings is discussed.

Abstract: In this paper, ABAQUS was used to simulate the stamping process for electrodeposited nickel coating. In the simulation, a built-in cohesive zone model of ABAQUS was used to present electrodeposited nickel coating steel‘s interface performance. The computational results shows that, at the interface, the normal stress was between -113.765~3MPa,and the maximum tangential stress is 50 MPa. The maximum interface stress is at the die fillet during the process of stamping,and we analyze the case of delaminating and is used to assess the influence of the blank holder force,the clearance between the punch and the die and the tool radii. This method can be used as guidance for battery shell’s forming manufacture.

Abstract: The aim of this work is to fabricate and develop the innovative ceramic coatings for protection applications with both high hardness and coating adhesion particularly performing in extremely environmental conditions. In this study, nanocomposite AlCrTiSiN coatings were developed and deposited on Carbide coupons (WC with Co binder) substrate using Cathodic Arc Deposition techniques. The resultant coatings were evaluated with respect to fundamental mechanical properties such as hardness, modulus and coating adhesion. It was found that the nanomposite AlCrTiSiN coatings has a good adhesion to the substrate and retained extremely high hardness as superhard coatings with hardness values above 50 GPa.

Abstract: The fretting is responsible for many failures of components in the industry. It is present in assemblies like rivet and screw fixture, dovetailjoint, shaft and hub with key, and all connections of two bodies with a contact force and a small induced relative displacement. Topic of studies for decades, the researchers perform experimental tests with some simplification in order to accelerate the phenomenon, some times using standard devices or creating dedicated machines for better representing the behavior of the desired components. There are a few studies with thin sheets, in which the fretting fatigue has more impact because a small reduction of the cross section due to the wear of crack results in a significant increase of stress and rate of crack propatation, decresing the number of cycles until failure. In this work, it wasbuild a device to generate the fretting fatigue with two different shape of contact pad. The specimen is a stainless steel sheet thickness 0.152mm, which fractures and surfaces were analyzed using the SEM and white light interferometer to understand the fractures.
