The main reason for this development is related with the fact that the most of zinc coatings problems are related with their sensitivity for abrasion wear during forming process. In view of these difficulties, related with coating steel forming, the Arcelormittal group has been developing Pos-Treatment solutions known as NIT (New Treatment Innorganic) and Pre-phosphate with the main function to promote the improvement of forming properties in deep stamping process through the lubricating properties. The propose solutions was applied over the standard steels known as IF, and galvanized with GI and GA zinc coatings. The forming improvement were evaluated through wear tests by plane friction and pin on disc tribometer, with aim to determine the friction coefficient behaviour for these materials in front of contacts pressure (MPa) application and distance (m). In addition, cracking potential analysis was done through Erichsen and weight loss methods to evaluate the powdering failure possibility. The post-treatment microstructure was evaluated through MEV and FEG-EDS analysis. As a complement study was simulated remobility tests to reproduce one step of the automotive process that can be negative influenced by post treatment application waste on the strip after forming and was evaluated the material corrosion potential in humidity tests cycles / O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de desenvolver e caracterizar aços galvanizados com aplicação de pós-tratamento químico, que visam proporcionar ao metal melhoria de conformabilidade. A justificativa principal deste estudo esta no fato de que o principal problema de revestimentos à base de zinco vêm a ser a sua sensibilidade ao processo de desgaste por abrasão, podendo danificar tanto a peça revestida, como as ferramentas das prensas de estampagem, principalmente no processamento de peças críticas voltados para aplicações da indústria automotiva. Diante destas dificuldades, o grupo ArcelorMittal tem desenvolvido a aplicação de soluções de pós-tratamento do tipo NIT (New Innorganic Treatment) e pré-fosfato , com a função de promover ao aço galvanizado, melhoria de conformabilidade e , através da propriedade de lubrificação, durante processos de estampagem de peças de alta criticidade. As soluções propostas foram aplicadas sobre os aços convencionais do tipo IF, galvanizados com revestimento base Zn denominados GI e GA. Os ganhos de conformação foram avaliados por ensaios de desgaste realizados em tribômetros de fricção planar e pino sobre disco, a fim de avaliar o comportamento do coeficiente de atrito destes materiais diante da aplicação de determinadas pressões de contato (MPa) e distância percorrida (m). Além disto, foram realizados ensaios de avaliação de potencial de fratura do material através de testes em prensa de embutimento Erichsen e Perda de Massa, método este que visa avaliar a possibilidade de ocorrência de fragilizações por Powdering. Com intuito de conhecer a microestrutura dos filmes de póstratamento depositados sobre o aço revestido foram realizadas análises metalográficas via MEV e FEG-EDS. Como complemento ao trabalho foram realizados ensaios de remobilidade dos filmes aplicados, simulações de uma das etapas de processos da indústria automotiva que podem vir a sofrer influência do pós-tratamento após estampagem do material e avaliação do potencial de corrosão em ciclos de câmara úmida.

Utilizando métodos analíticos adequados (espectroscopia de perda de energia de elétrons, microespectroscopia infravermelho/Raman e carbonização/colorimetria) e cálculos teóricos, espécies positivas foram identificadas como hidrocarbocátions e espécies negativas como fluorocarbânions. A triboeletrização de PTFE com PE é entendida como segue: a ruptura homolítica mecanoquímica da cadeia é seguida por transferência eletrônica dos radicais livres de hidrocarbonetos para os radicais mais eletronegativos do fluorocarbono. Os íons gerados pelos fragmentos de cadeia sofrem auto-ordenamento de acordo com a teoria de Flory- Huggins, formando os padrões macroscópicos observados experimentalmente. Estes resultados mostram que a triboeletrização só pode ser compreendida considerando os eventos químicos complexos provocados por ação mecânica, acoplados a conceitos bem estabelecidos pela físico-química. Além disso, o atrito entre superfícies dielétricas produz padrões de carga fixos e estáveis que contribuem para interações eletrostáticas entre superfícies. Medidas de coeficiente de resistência de rolamento de esferas de vidro sobre PTFE triboeletrizado, bem como de atrito estático de pellets de polietileno e imagens de microscopia de força lateral, mostraram que as forças de atrito aumentam muitas vezes em superfícies triboeletrizadas, nas quais as contribuições das interações eletrostáticas podem suplantar todas outras contribuições. Estes resultados são explicados considerando um mecanismo segundo o qual a indução de carga por uma superfície triboeletrizada no contato com outra superfície dissipa energia durante o atrito, sugerindo novas abordagens para controlar atrito em interfaces pelo controle da formação de tribocargas / Abstract: Tribocharged polymers display macroscopically patterned positive and negative domains, verifying the fractal geometry of electrostatic mosaics previously detected by electric probe microscopy. Using suitable analytical techniques (electron energy-loss spectral imaging, infrared/Raman microspectrophotometry and carbonization/colorimetry) and theoretical calculations, the positive species were identified as hydrocarbocations and the negative species as fluorocarbanions. A comprehensive model is presented for PTFE tribocharging with PE: mechanochemical chain homolytic rupture is followed by electron transfer from hydrocarbon free radicals to the more electronegative fluorocarbon radicals. Polymer ions self-assemble according to Flory-Huggins theory, thus forming the experimentally observed macroscopic patterns. These results show that tribocharging can only be understood by considering the complex chemical events triggered by mechanical action, coupled to well-established physicochemical concepts. Also, friction between dielectric surfaces produces patterns of fixed, stable electric charges that in turn contribute electrostatic components to surface interactions between the contacting solids. The coefficient of rolling resistance of glass beads on tribocharged PTFE was measured, as well as the static friction coefficient of polyethylene pellets on PTFE and friction force on the scanning probe during lateral-force microscopy imaging. Results show that friction coefficients may increase many-fold on tribocharged surfaces and the contribution of electrostatic interactions may supersede all other contributions to friction. These results are explained considering a mechanism according to which charge induction by an electrified surface on a contacting body accounts for energy dissipation during friction suggesting new approaches to control friction coefficients, by controlling tribocharge formation / Doutorado / Físico-Química / Doutor em Ciências

Colonoscopy provides a minimally invasive tool for examining and treating the colon without surgery, but current endoscope designs still cause a degree of pain and injury to the colon wall. The most common colonoscopies are long tubes inserted through the rectum, with locomotion actuators, fiber optic lights, cameras, and biopsy tools on the distal end. The stiffness required to support these tools makes it difficult for the scopes to navigate the twisted path of the colon without damaging the inside wall of the colon or distorting its shape. In addition, little is known about how sharp and forceful endoscopes can be without accidentally cutting into tissue during navigation. In order to solve the requirements of stiffness (to support tools) and flexibility (to navigate turns), we expanded on a design by Zehel et al. [49], who proposed surrounding a flexible endoscope with an external exoskeleton structure, with controllable stiffness. The exoskeleton structure is comprised of rigid, articulating tubular units, which are stiffened or relaxed by four control cables. The stiffened or locked exoskeleton structure aids navigation and provides stability for the endoscope when it protrudes beyond the exoskeleton structure for examination and procedures. This research determined the design requirements of such an exoskeleton structure and simulated its behavior in a sigmoid colon model. To predict just how pointed an endoscope can be without damaging tissue under a given force, we extrapolated a strength model of the descending colon from published stress-strain curves of human colon tissue. Next we analyzed how friction, cable forces, and unit angles interact to hold the exoskeleton structure in a locked position. By creating two- and three-dimensional models of the exoskeleton structure, we optimized the dimensions of the units of an exoskeleton structure (diameter, thickness, and leg angle) and cable holders ( cable attachment location) to achieve the turns of the sigmoid colon, while still remaining lockable. Models also predicted the loss of force over the exoskeleton structure due to curving, further determining the required cable angles and friction between units. Finally we determined how the stiffness of the endoscope stem affected locking ability and wear inside the exoskeleton structure. / Ph. D.

Friction continues to be one of the main causes of energy loss in mechanical systems despite the advances in technology. As a result, this not only involves energy overuse but also maintains high levels of CO2 emissions that cannot be assumed if society wishes to shift towards a more sustainable industry. In this regard, textured surfaces have proven to be a useful feature to decrease or increase friction between two surfaces in contact. Through several pin-on-disk tribotests, this thesis aims to study the influence of three different textures on the friction coefficient: crosspatched, circumferential smooth, and circumferential rough. Height and functional parameters were extracted from the surfaces by measuring them with an optical profiler to study their influence on the tribological properties of the disks. The wear volume and film parameter were also calculated from the measured data. The crosspatched texture yielded the lowest coefficient of friction, followed by circumferential smooth and circumferential rough. The highest values of the film parameter and lowest values of wear volume were achieved by the circumferential smooth texture. Three significant correlations were found: The Sdr parameter and the Svk/Spk ratio are statistically related to the film parameter. The interaction between Sdr and Sk is correlated with the friction coefficient, although their relation does not have a practical use. Future possibilities for research can be centred around studying the validity of these correlations and the phenomena behind them, as well as expanding the study of crosspatched textures to further optimize friction. / Friktion fortsätter att vara en av de främsta orsakerna till energiförluster i mekaniska system trots teknikens framsteg. Som ett resultat av detta, innebär det inte bara överanvändning av energi utan även höga nivåer av CO2-utsläpp upprätthålls vilket inte kan antas om samhället vill ställa om mot en mer hållbar industri. I detta avseende har texturerade ytor visat sig vara en användbar egenskap för att minska eller öka friktionen mellan två ytor i kontakt. Genom flera pin-on-disk-tribotester, syftar denna avhandling till att studera inverkan av tre olika texturer på friktionskoefficienten: korspatchad, periferiell slät, och periferiell grov. Höjd- och funktionsparametrar extraherades från ytorna genom att mäta dem med en optisk profilerare för att studera deras inverkan på skivornas tribologiska egenskaper. Slitvolymen och filmparametern beräknades också från den uppmätta data. Den korspatchade texturen gav den lägsta friktionskoefficienten, följt av periferiell slät och periferiell grov. De högsta värdena för filmparametern och de lägsta värdena för slitagevolymen uppnåddes genom den periferiella släta texturen. Tre signifikanta korrelationer hittades: Sdr-parametern och Svk/Spk förhållandet är statistiskt relaterade till filmparametern. Interaktionen mellan Sdr och Sk är korrelerad med friktionskoefficienten, även om deras relation inte har någon praktisk användning. Framtida möjligheter för forskning kan centreras kring att studera giltigheten av dessa korrelationer och fenomenen bakom dem, samt att utöka studiet av korspatchade texturer för att ytterligare optimera friktionen.

Bolts and nuts are one of most common joining methods since they are simple and low-cost to connect parts. Appropriate clamp force from bolted joint remains resultant joints secured, but higher/lower preload on bolted joint increases risk of the failure of mechanism. Therefore, achieving accurate clamp force in bolted joint is always the aim of tightening process. Torque control tightening tool are the most common tightening tool present in the market. The clamp force obtained from torque control tightening is highly dependent upon friction. Only small part of applied torque is transferred into the effective torque that turns in to clamp forces because most of applied torque is consumed by friction forces under bolt /nut head and in a thread interface. However, friction coefficient does not remain constant during tightening process and it relates to many factors such as tightening speed, speed profile, tightening time, joint’s material, etc. Hence, it changes the distribution ratio and leads to an error in estimation of clamp force between the components. This project aims to develop a tribometer which is capable of operating in different speeds and load conditions corresponding to different tightening process. A new concept of pin-on-disc tribometer is proposed and the speed and load profile are achieved by using closed loop control in the linear actuator and the motor. The test rig was built up and the several validation tests were done. / Skruv och mutter tillhör bland de vanligaste medlen att binda ihop två ytor med varandra då det är ett billigt och enkelt sätt att uppnå det önskade resultatet. Det är viktigt att rätt klämkraft uppnås i skruvförbandet, vid för låg/hög klämkraft är risken för haveri i konstruktionen stor. Därför är att uppnå korrekt klämkraft i ett skruvförband alltid målet i en åtdragningsprocess. Skruvdragare som drar åt med ett förinställt moment (torque control) är för tillfället det vanligaste verktyget på marknaden för att uppnå rätt klämkraft. Klämkraften som uppstår vid åtdragning av ett skruvförband med ett sådant verktyg är i största del beroende på friktionskraften i skruvförbandet för korrekt moment. Endast en liten del av momentet som påverkar skruven övergår till effektivt fasthållande moment i skruvförbandet, det mesta momentet går åt för att övervinna friktionen mellan skruv och mutter. Friktionskoefficitenten håller sig inte konstant vid ett åtdragande moment utan beror på flera faktorer såsom åtdragningshastighet, profilhastighet, åtdragningstid och vilket material skruvförbandet är gjort av bland annat. Eftersom friktionskoeffiecienten ständigt ändrar sig leder detta till ett fel då man ska uppskatta klämkraften mellan två ytor. Detta examensarbete ämnar till att bygga en tribometer som är kapabel till att fungera vid olika hastigheter och kraftförhållanden som korresponderar till olika åtdragningsprocesser. Ett koncept på en ny pin-on-disc tribometer föreslås och hastighets samt kraftprofiler skapas genom ett closed-loop reglertekniksystem i ett linjärt ställdon och motorn. Testriggen konstruerades och flertalet utvärderingstester utfördes.

Com a evolução dos processos de fabricação, aumenta o emprego de topografias engenheiradas com o objetivo de aumentar o desempenho dessas superfícies sob vários aspectos. Apesar do bom desempenho comprovado em algumas aplicações, existem outras em que o desempenho é questionável, como, em condições não lubrificadas e com elevadas pressões de contato. Neste cenário de dúvidas sobre a utilização de superfícies engenheiradas, o presente trabalho objetiva contribuir com as discussões por meio de um estudo do efeito de topografias anisotrópicas na transferência de material e resistência ao movimento em condições de deslizamento a seco com deformação plástica micro e macroscópica. O método utilizado contempla ensaios tribológicos que consistem, basicamente, em deslizar um material sobre superfícies engenheiradas de outro material com maior dureza, em duas condições de deformação plástica: i/ localizada no pico das asperezas em contato (ensaio pino-sobre-disco) e ii/ volumétrica (ensaio de compressão do anel). Os resultados permitiram concluir que os mecanismos de desgaste podem ser reproduzidos nos dois ensaios. Com deformação plástica microscópica (pino-sobre-disco) constatou-se que: i/ os vales e cavidades da topografia atuam de forma a evitar o contato das partículas de desgaste com o corpo em deslizamento; e ii/ os maiores valores do coeficiente de atrito foram obtidos com a superfície com maior quantidade de cavidades, a mesma condição topográfica que apresentou maior área com transferência de material. Com deformações plásticas macroscópicas (ensaio de compressão do anel) constatou-se que os vales da topografia da ferramenta atuaram como bloqueios para o deslizamento do anel conformado, o que resultou num aumento do coeficiente de atrito e redução da transferência de material. / The evolution of manufacturing progresses increases the use of engineered surfaces, seeking the improvement of the overall performance of these surfaces. Despite the enhanced performance under some circumstances, uncertainties still exist in conditions such as unlubricated and high contact pressure conditions. This work aims contributing to these discussions by studding the effect of anisotropic topographies on the material transfer and resistance to movement under dry sliding conditions including micro and macroscopic plastic deformation. The method consisted of tribological tests by sliding a material against engineered surfaces of higher hardness. Tests were conducted under two plastic deformation conditions: i/ localized on surface asperities contact (pin-on-disc test) and ii/ volumetric (ring test). Results allowed concluding that wear mechanisms can be reproduced on both tests. Under microscopic plastic deformation (pin-on-disc test) it was possible to verify that: i/ grooves and cavities have contributed to avoid the contact between wear debris and sliding body; and ii/ the higher friction coefficient was obtained when testing the surface with high amount of cavities, a condition that presented the larger area of material transfer. Under macroscopic deformation (ring test), grooves from tool topography played the role of blocking the ring material sliding, increasing friction coefficient and decreasing material transfer.

Les vis à rouleaux convertissent la rotation en translation de manière très efficace et sont utilisées dans des nombreuses industries. Mais même s'il présente beaucoup d'avantages, le mécanisme reste complexe et relativement difficile à comprendre. Le principal but de cette thèse est de quantifier la puissance dissipée par les vis à rouleaux standard et inversées, qui est un résultat important pour toute étude liée à l'efficacité ou la distribution de température. De plus, il s'agit d'un critère de conception dans le choix de paramètres optimaux pour une certaine application. À cause des travaux peu nombreux en termes de recherche et des hypothèses restrictives faites dans la littérature courante, ce mémoire commence avec une analyse géométrique de base du mécanisme et envisage de généraliser les équations des surfaces filetées pour les différents types de profils et conditions de jeu. La position des points de contact peut ensuite être déduite avec un algorithme de type Newton-Raphson très rapide. Cette information est cruciale pour toute étude ultérieure de force. Après, les équations classiques de Hertz sont adaptées à des contacts peu conformes pour déterminer la forme, les dimensions et l'orientation des ellipses de contact rouleau-vis et rouleau-douille. Il est prouvé que les directions principales de courbure obtenues ici par géométrie différentielle sont différentes de celles supposées dans les précédents travaux de recherche. Ensuite, la cinématique du mécanisme est étudiée avec un modèle stationnaire, qui établit des liens entre les mouvements uniformes de tous les composants et permet de calculer d'une manière simplifiée le champ de vitesse de glissement en tout point de l'aire de contact. Le mouvement local apparaît comme une combinaison de spin et de glissement uniforme. Le modèle est calibré sur un seul degré de liberté qui prend la forme d'un quotient de glissement, qui dépend de conditions de lubrification et équations d'équilibre dynamique. Un banc expérimental est conçu pour mesurer ce quotient et permettre donc la comparaison avec des valeurs numériques, ainsi que les quelques modèles analytiques disponibles dans la littérature. Les résultats montrent que les mesures sont très proches des conditions de fonctionnement idéales, ce qui fait que les propriétés du lubrifiant et les coefficients de frottement deviennent les paramètres les plus influents dans le peu de marge disponible pour l'amélioration cinématique. Finalement, un modèle numérique en forces est développé et permet de calculer la puissance dissipée pendant l'équilibre stationnaire. L'algorithme itératif détermine d'abord le quotient de glissement atteint à l'équilibre et utilise ensuite le résultat pour déduire les autres variables cinématiques et dynamiques liées au calcul. Une étude paramétrique est réalisée dans le but d'identifier les facteurs importants pour l'efficacité et la puissance dissipée, ainsi que leur contribution relative. / Roller screws are highly efficient rotation-translation converters used in a variety of industries. Despite its numerous advantages, the mechanism remains complex and rather difficult to understand. The main goal of this thesis is to quantify the amount of power dissipated by standard and inverted roller screws, which is an important result for any study related to efficiency or temperature distribution. Furthermore, it is used as a design criterion in choosing optimal parameters for a given application. Due to the limited amount of available research and the restrictive assumptions made in current literature, this memoir starts with a basic geometric analysis of the mechanism and attempts to generalize threaded surface equations for different types of profiles and backlash conditions. The contact point locations can then be deduced using a very fast Newton-Raphson algorithm. This information is crucial for any subsequent force analysis. Classic Hertzian equations are then adapted to slightly conforming contacts in order to calculate the shape, size and orientation of the roller-screw and roller-nut contact ellipses. It is shown that the principal directions of curvature obtained here by differential geometry are different from the ones assumed by previous research. Next, the mechanism kinematics is investigated using a stationary model, which relates the steady-state movement of all the different components and allows a simplified calculation of the sliding velocity field at any point within the contact areas. The local motion proves to be a combination of spin and uniform sliding. The model is set to have only one degree of freedom in the form of a slip ratio, which depends on lubrication conditions and force balance equations. An experimental setup is designed to measure this ratio and thus allow comparison to numerical values, as well as the few analytical models available in the literature. Results show that measurements are very close to ideal operating conditions, which makes lubricant properties and friction coefficients the most influential parameters in the little room available for kinematic improvement. Finally, a numerical force model is developed, which calculates the power dissipated during the steady-state regime. The iterative algorithm first determines the value of the slip ratio reached during stationary equilibrium and then uses the result to deduce the other kinematic and dynamic unknowns involved. A parametric study is conducted to identify the important factors in efficiency and power dissipation, as well as their relative influence.

Foram realizados ensaios tribológicos de deslizamento do par Si3N4-Al2O3, lubrificado com água, na configuração esfera contra disco, sendo a esfera de nitreto de silício e o disco de alumina para investigar a influência da velocidade de deslizamento, da carga aplicada e da temperatura no coeficiente de atrito. As esferas de nitreto de silício e os discos de alumina foram caracterizados determinando-se: densidades, dureza Vickers, módulo de elasticidade e tenacidade à fratura. Os ensaios foram realizados com rugosidade inicial nos discos de Rrms = 352 nm. O regime de ultra baixo coeficiente de atrito (UBCA, &#956; < 0,01) foi atingido após um período de running-in de aproximadamente uma hora e o coeficiente de atrito ficou na faixa de &#956; = 0,008 a &#956; = 0,002. Os resultados mostraram que este sistema deslizante tem características hidrodinâmicas, pois o coeficiente de atrito diminuiu com o aumento da velocidade de deslizamento. Uma variação suave da carga aplicada fez com que o coeficiente de atrito permanecesse no regime de UBCA, com a carga aplicada variando de 54 N até 94 N. Em temperaturas menores ou iguais a 11°C o sistema não atingiu o regime de UBCA e o coeficiente de atrito final ficou da ordem de centésimos. Foi observado o fenômeno de UBCA em temperaturas de 30 e 40°C. No entanto, nestas temperaturas, a baixa viscosidade da água não deveria permitir que o sistema atingisse o regime de UBCA. A análise dos dados possibilitou inferir que durante o regime de UBCA o sistema desliza num regime de lubrificação mista, sendo lubrificação hidrodinâmica, devido ao filme de água, somada a lubrificação limite, devido às camadas hidratadas formadas nas superfícies das cerâmicas. Os resultados mostraram que a temperatura influencia no desgaste das cerâmicas. A determinação do volume desgastado possibilitou observar que durante os ensaios a alumina sofre menos desgaste que o nitreto de silício e que o desgaste de ambas cerâmicas aumenta com o aumento da temperatura. / Tribological tests were conducted in a ball on disk setup, using water as lubricant. Were used a silicon nitride ball and alumina disk. The tests were conducted to investigate the effects of sliding speed, applied load and temperature on friction coefficient. The silicon nitride balls and alumina disks were characterized by determining density, Vickers hardness, elastic modulus and fracture toughness. The tests were conducted with initial roughness on the disk surface of 352 nm. The ultra low friction coefficient regime (ULFC, &#956; < 0.01) was reached after a running-in period of approximately one hour and the friction coefficient remains in the range of &#956; = 0.008 a &#956; = 0.002 during this steady state regime. The results showed that this sliding system has hydrodynamic characteristics, because the friction coefficient decreased with increasing of the sliding speed. With an smooth variation of the applied load the system remained in the ULFC regime, when the applied load varied from 54 N up to 94 N. At temperatures below or equal to 11°C the system did not reach the ULFC regime and the final friction coefficient was the order of hundredths. We observed the ULFC phenomenon at temperatures of 30 and 40°C. However, at these temperatures, the water viscosity is low and should not allow the system to reach the ULFC regime. The data analysis allowed infer that during the ULFC regime the system slides with a mixed lubrication regime, hydrodynamic plus limitrofe, the first due to water film and the second due to the hydrated layer formed on the ceramics surfaces. The results showed a influences of temperature in the ceramics wear. The results of the worn volume allowed to observe that during the tests alumina suffers less wear than the silicon nitride, and the ceramics wear increases with increasing temperature.
