Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to study the tribological behaviour of Ti–48Al–2Nb–2Cr alloy under dry sliding reciprocating conditions. A reciprocating wear machine was employed to evaluate the typical abrasion resistance of the alloy. Infrastructure assessment of worn surfaces was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The average surface roughness of initial specimen was 32 nm. According to the SEM observations of worn surfaces and debris, the dominant wear mechanism under defined tribosystem was identified to be abrasive and delamination wear. The weight loss measurements showed that by increasing the applied load from 10 to 40 N, the weight loss was significantly increased from 5.4 to 18.5 µg after passing 1000 m slip distance.
