Tarcie wewnęTrzne przemian fazowych obserwowanych przy TemperaTurze pokojowej w euTekTycznym sTopie Ga-In-SnThe phase transformation phenomena in eutectic Ga-In-Sn alloys around room temperature are studied by thermal analysis, internal friction, and in-situ XRD methods. The results show that in addition to the solidification transformation, a novel the so-called 'pre-solidification' phase transition, demonstrating first-order feature, is observed prior to the crystallization during cooling. The internal friction increases when the 'pre-solidification' effect occurs. The shear modulus increases until crystallization. An internal friction peak is attributed to the melting process observed during heating. The mechanism of the 'pre-solidification' transformation in Ga-In-Sn eutectic alloy is discussed.Key words: Ga-In-Sn alloy, internal friction, liquid-liquid transition Zjawiska przemian fazowych w eutektycznych stopach Ga-In-Sn, około temperatury pokojowej, badane są metodami analizy termicznej, tarcia wewnętrznego i XRD in-situ. Wyniki pokazują, że w dodatku do przemiany krzepnięcia, nowa przemiana tzw. "wstępne krzepnięcie", o charakterze przemiany pierwszego rzędu, obserwowana jest przed krystalizacją podczas chłodzenia. Tarcie wewnętrzne zwiększa się, gdy występuje "wstępnie krzepnięcie". Moduł sprężystości poprzecznej zwiększa się aż do krystalizacji. Wewnętrzny pik tarcia przypisany jest do topienia obserwowanego podczas ogrzewania. Omówiono mechanizm przemiany "wstępnego krzepnięcia" w eutektycznym stopie Ga-In-Sn.

The wear of artificial joints can lead to joint noise and tissue pathology within the human body, which is a primary factor affecting their service life. In response to the issue of wear in ceramic–titanium alloy artificial hip joints, this study employed hip joint wear simulations and experimental wear testing on hip joint specimens to investigate the impact of different contact surface parameters on the wear of ceramic–titanium alloy articulating surfaces. The objective was to provide guidance for joint surface treatment to minimize wear. The simulation results demonstrated that the contacting surfaces of the articulating components exhibited a crescent-shaped surface composition before and after wear. The initial variation in the surface friction coefficient had minimal influence on the wear rate after stabilization, whereas excessively high friction coefficients led to erratic changes in wear depth. Based on the simulation results, experimental research was conducted to compare the wear results of different surface roughness values ranging from 60 to 550 nm. The findings revealed that a surface roughness of 150 nm exhibited the least amount of wear and the best anti-wear performance. Furthermore, an exploration of the mechanism behind the influence of different surface friction coefficients on the wear of the articulating surfaces provided valuable insights for surface processing and wear analysis of artificial joints.
