The Preparation and Wear Behaviors of Phenol–Formaldehyde Resin/BN Composite Coatings
Phenolic-matrix composites possess excellent synergistic effects on mechanical and tribological properties and can be used in the aerospace, medical, and automobile industries. In this work, a series of phenol–formaldehyde resin/hexagonal boron nitride nanocomposites (PF/BNs) were in situ synthesized using an easy method. PF/BN coatings (PF/BNCs) on 316L steels were prepared through a spin-casting method. The wear behaviors of these PF/BNCs were investigated by dry sliding with steel balls. The percentage of BN, the thickness of the coating, and the heat treatment temperature affected the coefficients of friction (COFs) and wear rates of these coatings. After heat treatment at 100 °C, the tribological properties of the PF/BNCs were remarkably improved, which might be attributed to both the transformation of carbon on the worn surfaces from C-O/C=O into C=N, carbide, and other chemical bonds and the cross-linking of the prepolymers.
