AHN, HS KWON, OK 2024-01-21T22:33:46Z 2024-01-21T22:33:46Z 2022-01-10 1993-04 0043-1648 https://pubs.kist.re.kr/handle/201004/146065 In this experimental investigation, various layers of partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) coated on steel by plasma spraying were studied to gain a better understanding of the tribological behaviour of PSZ under the conditions of dry contact in a reciprocating motion at a temperature of 200-degrees-C, which represents the severe operating conditions of friction pairs, such as cylinder liner-piston ring. The parameters investigated in relation to the wear behaviour were the thickness of the coating, oscillating frequency, sliding cycle and applied load. To identify the wear mechanism, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy were used. In comparison with a steel-steel pair, PSZ coating-steel and PSZ coating-PSZ coating pairs exhibit far better wear characteristics and, therefore, the distinct possibility of applying a plasma-sprayed PSZ coating as a cylinder liner has been confirmed. The oscillating frequency and applied load conversely affect the wear rate of disc. The recommended coating thickness was found to be in the range 180-300 mum to ensure good anti-wear behaviour without the expense of high coating cost.
