ABSTRACT:
The objective of this research is to study the
dry sliding wear behaviour of metal surfaces and influences of their surface
hardness. The improved hardness of the TiN deposited surface was about 1763 Hv.
The worn surface Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) morphology exhibits the
surface damage due to varying wear test parameters. The Electron Dispersive
Spectroscopy (EDS) reveals that the material transfer between the counter parts
and the wear mechanism has been involved. The minimum specific wear rate of TiN
surface was 0.0018 mg/Nm and 0.0026 mg/Nm against Ti6Al4V alloy and TaN
respectively.
