    Wear Resistance Performance of Boron Nitride Coatings on End Milling Cutters
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2017) Çetin,B.; Durkaya,G.; Kurtuldu,H.; Hacaloglu,T.; Gurbuz,M.; Kaftanoǧlu,B.
    For defence industry applications, the machining of ultra-high strength steels or aluminium with ballistic temper grades is a widely-used operation. Therefore, it is a great challenge to find an optimum solution for tool wear. In that sense, tool coatings provide various solutions for machining of hard materials or improving wear resistance. A cost-effective tool coating provides longer tool life, hence decreases the tool cost contribution in production. Boron nitride (BN) coating could be thought as a new generation coating method compared to titanium nitride (TiN), aluminium titanium nitride (AlTiN) or silicon aluminium oxy-nitride (SiAlON). BN coating material has a great strength, toughness and chemical stability whereas it has an important disadvantage of high intrinsic stress. In this industrial study, standard end mill cutters are coated with BN material by physical vapour deposition (PVD) method. The coated and uncoated milling tools are compared according to their wear resistance and the obtained workpiece surface roughness. First results of the study are presented in this paper. © 2017 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

    Non-Invasive 3d Optical Measurement of Round Surfaces
    (Polish Acad Sciences inst Physics, 2019) Kurtuldu, H.; Durkaya, G.; Cetin, B.
    Precise measurement of wear profiles in large areas of round surfaces such as shafts, suspension bars and high-deviation geometry surfaces is a challenge in manufacturing engineering. An optical measurement method is developed to overcome this challenge. This method, relying on angular reconstruction of scattered light profiles, is used for the measurement of irregular wear in quality testing of round surfaces which provides information on estimating the surface lifetime after prolonged use. This approach achieves a 3D depth accuracy better than 50 mu m in suspension bars with diameters up to 50 mm from an imaging distance of 250 mm.

    Friction and Wear Behavior of Selected Dental Ceramics
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2009) Park, Jongee; Pekkan, Gurel; Ozturk, Abdullah
    The purpose of this study was to determine the friction coefficients and wear rates of six commercially available dental ceramics including IPS Empress 2 (E2), Cergo Pressable Ceramic (CPC), Cercon Ceram (CCS) and Super porcelain EX-3 (SPE). Bovine enamel (BE) was also tested as a reference material for comparison purposes. Samples of the dental ceramics were prepared according to the instructions described by the manufacturers in disk-shape with nominal dimensions of 12 mm x 2 mm. The wear tests were performed by means of a pin-on-disk type tribometer. The friction coefficients and specific wear rates of the materials were determined at a load of 10 N and rotating speed of 0.25 cm/s without lubrication. Surface morphology of the wear tracks was examined using a scanning electron microscope. Statistical analyses were made using one-way ANOVA and Turkey's HSD (P < 0.05).

    Investigation of the Tribological Behaviour of Electrocodeposited Ni-mos2 Composite Coatings
    (inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2017) Guler, Ebru Saraloglu; Konca, Erkan; Karakaya, Ishak
    Composite electroplating of solid lubricants in a metal matrix is an effective way to lower coefficient of friction (COF) and improve wear resistance of surfaces in sliding contact. In this work, Ni-MoS2 composite coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel substrates by electroplating from Watts bath containing suspended MoS2 particles and their tribological behaviour was studied. The effects of MoS2 particle concentration (5, 10 and 30 g/l), MoS2 particle size (1.440 and 5.156 mu m), pH (2, 3 and 4), current density (3.8, 4.8 and 5.8 A/dm(2)) and the surfactant (sodium lignosulfonate, SLS) concentration (0.3 and 1 g/l) on the tribological behaviour were investigated using a ball-on-disc tribometer at ambient conditions. Lower current density, smaller particle size and higher concentration of MoS2 decreased COF. While increasing the surfactant concentration decreased the COF, its friction lowering effect was much more pronounced at relatively lower concentrations of MoS2 in the electrolyte.
