Swashplate axial piston pumps and motors are widely used under severe conditions because of their capability to operate at high pressure values and various ranges of speeds, maintaining a good efficiency. In some operating conditions however, the machine efficiency may be relatively low because of insufficient lubrication and this causes rapid wear and high friction losses. PVD coatings may help in reducing the friction thus having a positive impact on the machine efficiency. For this reason, pin on disk testing were conducted to investigate the friction and wear behavior of different PVD coatings on various metallic substrates. A copper and tin alloy coated with PA-CVD DLC, a carburized 17NiCrMo7 with a PVD DLC coating and a nitrided 41CrAlMo7 PVD coated with TiCN were studied. Results of tribological testing, carried out at 0.2 and 0.5 m/s as sliding speed and 5000, 10000 and 20000 rounds as ending conditions, showed that wear and friction had been reduced; moreover, microstructure features were analyzed for understanding underlying mechanism and to allow selecting the most suitable coating for the application on the swashplate axial piston machine.

Abstract

Swashplate axial piston pumps and motors are widely used under severe conditions because of their capability to operate at high pressure values and various ranges of speeds, maintaining a good efficiency. In some operating conditions however, the machine efficiency may be relatively low because of insufficient lubrication and this causes rapid wear and high friction losses. PVD coatings may help in reducing the friction thus having a positive impact on the machine efficiency. For this reason, pin on disk testing were conducted to investigate the friction and wear behavior of different PVD coatings on various metallic substrates. A copper and tin alloy coated with PA-CVD DLC, a carburized 17NiCrMo7 with a PVD DLC coating and a nitrided 41CrAlMo7 PVD coated with TiCN were studied. Results of tribological testing, carried out at 0.2 and 0.5 m/s as sliding speed and 5000, 10000 and 20000 rounds as ending conditions, showed that wear and friction had been reduced; moreover, microstructure features were analyzed for understanding underlying mechanism and to allow selecting the most suitable coating for the application on the swashplate axial piston machine.
