Description
Summary:Results obtained from researches realized during a project that had as main objective to increase the lifetime of mechatronic friction components are presented in this paper. Experiments were made testing Al, Cr, Ti thin layers and Ti+Al multilayer deposited by the electron beam evaporation method on OLC45, Rul1, C120, OSC steel substrates. After these tests, Ti and Cr thin films proved to be the materials with the highest wear resistance. The behaviour of Ti and Cr layers deposited on mechatronic components has been analysed comparatively with the purpose of obtaining information on these layers wear resistance in real medium. The functional tests were performed in dynamic and real-time conditions, evaluating the tribological behaviour of the components belonging to a guiding-precentration device made of Rul1 steel. Results obtained after testing Ti and Cr thin films as main materials that have the capacity to increase the lifetime of mechatronic components are presented in this paper. Taking into account the behaviour of these nanostructured layers, the main conclusion was that Ti and Cr thin films should be integrated into real mechatronic systems.
