Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The study of the friction and corrosion properties of steels is always a central focus in the fields of tribology and corrosion science and engineering. Friction pairs made of steels that serve in corrosive situations (e.g., marine equipment, orthopedic implants, material processing, etc.) not only suffer from the corrosion induced by the service environments, but also sustain wear induced by friction. Furthermore, the simultaneous action of wear and corrosion processes can cause significantly larger material losses than pure wear or corrosion, resulting in rapid failures of steel components. Along with progress in experimental and simulation techniques in recent years, the essence of the friction and corrosion of steels can be better elucidated, which is beneficial for the promotion of the stability and durability of steel components. Therefore, this Special Issue is aimed at offering a forum for research and review papers reporting significant progress in the friction and corrosion properties of steels.

The topics related to the Friction and Corrosion Properties of Steels include, but are not limited to:

  • The friction and corrosion behaviors of steels;
  • The corrosive wear mechanisms of steels;
  • Factors affecting the corrosive wear of steels, including frictional, electrochemical, material and environmental factors;
  • Techniques for improving the corrosive wear resistance of steels, including the addition of microalloying elements, heat treatment, surface treatment, etc.;
  • Friction and corrosion experimental and analytical methods;
  • Computer modeling and simulation to predict the friction and corrosion properties of steels.

Wheel wear is one of the most critical factors affecting the vehicle performances and maintenance costs of railway vehicles. However, previous research has to ignore the initial wheel-rail profiles for the evolution of wheel wear. Therefore, this work investigates the relationship between the evolution of wheel wear corresponding to different initial wheel-rail profiles and vehicle dynamics, wheel-rail deterioration. Firstly, the evolution of wheel wear during a long service period is measured from two high-speed railway trains running on two different lines. Contact geometry, e.g., equivalent conicity and contact pair distribution, are extracted. After that, the influence of wheel wear on the vehicle dynamic performance is studied using a multi-body dynamic software. The calculated contact parameters, e.g., pressure, shear traction, and creepage, are used to analyze the distribution of rolling contact fatigue. Based on the experimental and simulation results, the initial wheel and rail profiles significantly affects the wheel wear pattern, the thin rim wheel has uniform wear, and other wheels occurs hollow wear. The hollow wear can lead to gradual deterioration of vehicle dynamics, which conversely aggravates the wheel reprofiling. Full article

The sliding wear and failure behaviors of CrN and AlTiN coatings on high speed steel (HSS) and cemented carbide (WC-Co) were investigated on a reciprocating test machine under different normal forces (30–120 N). The wear mechanism was explored based on the analysis of coefficient of friction (CoF), wear and damage of coating. Then, the coating service life maps were established and the factors affecting the coating life were explored. The results indicated that the bonding strength of coatings to the WC-Co substrate were larger than those to the HSS substrate. The CoFs of CrN fluctuated during the wear process, while CoFs of AlTiN coatings were closer to those of the uncoated substrates. The wear depths of coated samples were smaller than those of uncoated substrates. The wear depths were small when the coatings worked and then increased with the number of cycles and the normal forces. For the CrN coatings, they had longer service life under smaller normal forces than under the large forces. Under small forces, an adhesion layer derived from the wear debris was formed on the coating surface to reduce the wear at the beginning of the test, after that the main failure mechanism was abrasive wear and delamination. Under large forces, the main failure mechanism was spallation. For the AlTiN coatings, the main failure mechanism was spallation on the HSS substrate; however, on the WC-Co substrate it was adhesive and abrasive wear. The coatings (CrN and AlTiN) on WC-Co had longer service life under various normal forces than on the HSS. CrN coating has the better wear-resistance than AlTiN coatings. Full article

This paper analyzed the corrosion behavior and corrosion performance of ER8 wheel steel through a full immersion test. The average corrosion rate of the ER8 wheel specimen in 2.0% NaCl solution shows a gradual increase over the whole corrosion cycle. Although the corrosion rate showed fluctuations at 3.5% and 5.0% concentration before 576 h, the corrosion rate also showed a steady increase after 576 h. The corrosion rates of specimens at different concentrations after 2160 h were over 0.12 mm/year. With increasing immersion times or concentrations of NaCl solution, the coverage area of the corrosion products dominated by iron oxides gradually increased, and the corrosion products on the surface became denser. The corrosion products were primarily γ-FeOOH, α-FeOOH and Fe3O4. As the density of the surface corrosion products increased, cracks and holes appeared on the surface of the rust layers, which made the rust layer unable to protect the substrate from further corrosion. After removing the corrosion products, pitting corrosion appeared on the surface of the substrate. The radius of the capacitive reactance arc gradually decreased with the increasing immersion time. The impedance modulus in the low-frequency region decreases and then increases with increasing NaCl solution concentration, which is the highest in 3.5% NaCl solution. Icorr increased with an increasing Cl− concentration, which was similar to the mechanism of catalytic electrolysis due to Cl−. The specimens with rust layers have worse corrosion resistance when the immersion time is extended. The corrosion product did not protect the substrate but accelerated the corrosion process.
