Effect of Multiaxial Cryoforging on Wear Properties of Cu-1.5%Ti Alloy

Abstract:

Copper-Titanium alloy was subjected to multi axial forging (MAF) at cryogenic temperature. Microstructure evolution was observed using optical microscope (OM). After 9 pass of MAF, grain size reduced to 2 µm. As number of MAF pass increases, hardness of the sample increased, due to strain hardening effect. Dry sliding wear test was performed on as-received and MAF processed samples using pin on disc wear machine. Tests were performed at 30 N and 40 N loads at 3 m/s constant speed and at 1000 m and 2000 m, sliding distance. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and EDS was used to analyze the worn-out surface of the specimen. Wear mass loss of MAF processed sample reduced, with increased number of MAF passes. Frictional Coefficient (COF) reduced with increase in MAF passes and improved with increase in load, because of increase in contact area between sample and disc.
