The study of application of Maslyanites in pumps designed for pumping aggressive media

August 2020 · IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering

For experimental studies, chemically active aggressive media pumped by single-screw metering pumps (SSMP) were used. The effect of these media on the destructive compressive stress, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, degree of swelling, antifriction properties and wear resistance of the polymer composite material Maslyanite D (S-1) was studied. It was established that hardness and ... [Show full abstract] antifriction properties of Maslyanite D (S-1) are better than those of SKN-26-based rubber 8470.

Damage study of fiber-reinforced composites drilled by abrasive waterjet —challenges and opportuniti...

March 2022 · The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Owing to their excellent properties such as lightweight and high strength, fiber-reinforced composite materials are widely used as ideal materials for key structural components in extreme service environments (e.g., aviation, aerospace, and nuclear power). However, due to their non-uniformity and anisotropy, they have become typical difficult-to-machine materials, which are prone to cause damage ... [Show full abstract] during machining, thereby reducing the service life of the entire component. This review primarily summarizes the damage (including delamination, thermal damage, tool wear, and other processing damages) and suppression strategies of scholars in the process of traditional and non-traditional machining of fiber-reinforced composite materials in the past few years. Besides reviewing the research progress, the limitations of the current research were presented. From this review, it can be seen that traditional and non-traditional (e.g., laser machining) machining methods are difficult to avoid damage. Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) machining is a green and environmentally friendly machining technology. Some key issues are expected to be furtherly solved during the AWJ drilling of fiber-reinforced composite materials with low damage.

The effect of reinforcement and the synergism between CuS and carbon fiber on the wear of nylon

November 1994 · Wear

The polymer composite specimens were prepared with nylon 11 as the matrix material, CuS as the filler, and short fibers of carbon as the reinforcement. This was done because CuS filler has shown an unusual ability in reducing the wear of a number of polymers including nylon. It was expected that the synergistic action of filler and fiber would produce a highly wear-resistant material. The ... [Show full abstract] friction and wear behaviors of the composite materials were investigated in a pin-on-disk system where sliding occurred under ambient conditions between the composite pin and a tool steel counterface. The sliding conditions used were 1 m s−1 speed and 0.65 MPa contact pressure. When nylon was reinforced with carbon fiber, wear and the coefficient of friction were reduced considerably. Wear rate was the lowest for 20 vol.% fiber content and it was higher for both the lower and higher percentages of fiber. Wear reduction was still more significant when carbon fiber was used for reinforcement along with CuS as the filler. These differences in wear behavior have been investigated in terms of the synergism between fiber and CuS. This synergistic action occurred because of the role of fiber in enhancing the decomposition of CuS which increased the adhesion between the transfer film of the composite and the steel substrate.
