Study Notes
Solid Surfaces
- Machined surfaces typically have roughness ranging from 0.1 to 10 μm.
Wear Prevention and Definition
- Wear is the damage of a surface in contact with another, leading to fragments or debris.
- Preventing wear is crucial in maintaining surface integrity and functionality.
Common Wear Mechanism
- Abrasive wear is the most frequent form of wear encountered in materials.
- Abrasive wear involves cutting furrows on a surface caused by hard particles, also referred to as cutting wear.
- Two-body abrasion: Abrasive particles are adhered to a substrate.
- Three-body abrasion: Abrasive particles are forced against a fixed surface by a third body.
Fatigue and Fracture
- Fatigue is a progressive localized permanent structural change in materials due to fluctuating stresses and strains, potentially leading to cracks or fractures.
- Fatigue fractures feature two distinct patterns:
- Smooth or burnished: Result from rubbing during crack propagation, associated with the fatigue zone.
- Granular: Indicative of rapid material failure, signifying a rupture zone.
Beach Marks in Fatigue Fracture
- Beach marks, or clamshell marks, appear on parts subjected to intermittent loading and resting, highlighting the crack growth during varied loading patterns.
Discrete Coatings Overview
- Discrete coatings range from traditional paints and varnishes to advanced coating technologies for material protection.
Paints and Varnishes
- Organic coatings are applied in liquid form to create a film based on surface tension.
- The durability of the film is enhanced through polymerization reactions initiated by environmental factors like UV light or oxygen.
Solvents in Paints
- Solvents serve as the liquid medium during the storage and application of paints and can include organic fluids like water or white spirit.
Electroplating
- Electroplating involves immersing substrates in metal salt solutions connected to a power supply for metal deposition.
- Commonly used for decorative and industrial finishes, with chromium plating being a notable application.
Anodizing
- Anodizing is an electrochemical process that forms a protective coating on metal substrates through anodic reactions.
- Typical coating formation rates are about 1 μm/min at a current density of 25 A/m², with common thickness reaching up to 20 μm.
Electroless Coatings
- Electroless plating does not require a power supply for metal deposition and is utilized for coating metals onto non-metallic substrates like plastics and ceramics.
Plasma Spraying Technique
- Plasma spraying involves applying molten or heat-softened materials to surfaces to form protective coatings, resulting in a continuous layer from discrete molten droplets.
Hot-Dipping: Galvanization
- Hot-dipping, particularly galvanization, involves immersing metals in molten baths to create protective alloyed coatings.
- This process is primarily used to apply zinc coatings on steel to prevent rust and corrosion.
Structure of Hot-Dipped Coatings
- Hot-dipped coatings possess a multi-phase laminar microstructure, with strong bonding to substrates arising from reactions during the dipping process, ensuring minimal peeling.
