Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metallic materials plays an important role in the development of human civilization. Since the Bronze Age, humans are developing metallic alloys by selecting a principal element (i.e. Fe, Cu, Al, or Ni) as the matrix with minor addition of alloying elements to modify the properties. One of the important engineering design parameter of metallic materials is its wear resistance. As such, development of new wear resistant materials has been in the forefront of academic and industrial research. International Energy Agency estimates the largest impact (38%) for carbon dioxide emissions reduction from the end-use energy efficiency. An effective solution to reduce the emissions is to improve the performance and efficiency of machinery (e.g., vehicles, fabrication machinery, mining equipment, etc.). Wear resistant materials with optimized tribological properties can effectively mitigate the performance loss and reduce GHG emissions.

In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on the recent evolution of wear resistant metallic materials. This includes wear of metallic alloys, metal matrix composite (MMC), surface treatments, protective coatings, welding overlays and high entropy alloys (HEAs). The Special Issue also intends to outline the fundamental development and use of new wear testing methods and standards, wear modelling and validation as well as the modelling of tribo-systems, wear mechanisms, relationships between the composition, processing-properties and structure (PPS) relationship of metallic materials and their wear behavior. Such submissions should include the foundation in prior knowledge and how the current approach is implemented to explore these relationships.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Seamless flatness rollers are the core equipment for cold-rolled strip flatness detection. The change in wear resistance of the roller surface-strengthened layer has important guiding significance for the prediction of the roller surface life. The experimental results of the five rounds of friction and wear testing show that the volume–wear rate of the original roller surface is only 1.85 × 10−6 mm3 (N·M)−1. After the first grinding, the wear resistance of the roller surface decreased and the wear rate was approximately 2.76 × 10−6 mm3 (N·M)−1. After the second grinding, the wear morphology, wear rate and wear resistance of the samples in each round showed little difference. The average wear rate in the last three rounds of the test is 3.56 × 10−6 mm3 (N·M)−1 and the wear resistance is significantly lower than that of the previous two rounds of the test. The calculation shows that the original surface wear resistance is 32.92% higher than that of the surface after the first grinding, and the average wear resistance of the surface after the first grinding is 22.59% higher than that of the surface after the second, third and fourth grinding. With long-term use and repeated grinding repair, the roller surface will show a trend of wear resistance decline. When the wear resistance decreases to a certain degree, it will reach a stage of stability. These phenomena provide regular and quantitative references for the study of the life prediction of flatness meter rollers. Full article

Microalloying and heat treatment have been regarded as an efficient way to get higher wear resistance in high manganese steel, and multiscale precipitates can be obtained randomly by the aging process; however, most of the previous work on heat treatment was more concerned with peak aging time and not the synergistic mechanism of different sized precipitates. Here, we propose a novel wear-resistant mechanism by multiscale precipitates regulated via a retrogression and re-aging (RRA) process. Micron, submicron, and nano precipitates are obtained by the RRA process and jointly form micro-scale ultrafine precipitation zones (MUPZs), which can protect the matrix surface and reduce the abrasive embedded probability, thus ameliorating the micro-cutting and micro-plowing mechanisms. This novel wear-resistant mechanism induced by MUPZs shows better effect under high impact energy due to sufficient work hardening caused by the interaction between dislocations and multi-scale precipitates in MUPZs. This work was investigated using SEM, EDS, and TEM, combined with mechanical properties and impact abrasive wear tests. Full article
