METALWORKING EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS

               Based on the measurement results, it can be noted that the lubricant test has a more
        beneficial effect on improving surface quality. The surface quality of the copper coating decreases
        after the test of a pair in industrial oil from 11 - 10 to 10 - 9 grade of purity (Table 2). Evaluating
        the surface by additional parameters Rz and R t, it can be noted that the average value of ten
        protrusions and depressions increases significantly - from 0.767 x 10-6 m to 2.770 x 10-6 m,
        and the sum of the maximum protrusion and maximum depression increases more significantly
                                                                        -  from  1.153  x  10-6  m  to  4.120  x  10-6

                                                                               In general, it can be noted that the
                                                                        obtained results of measuring the surface
                                                                        microrelief  after  testing samples  with
        coatings applied at 270 °C and 450 °C, and counterbodies confirm the conclusions drawn from
        the results of wear analysis, namely: copper coating after sputtering at low temperatures is
        advisable use in liquid lubrication conditions. And to increase the durability of the friction pair,
        where a copper coating applied at a high temperature is used, a grease should be used.
               It  should  be  especially  emphasized  that  according  to  the  data  of  tribotechnical  tests
        for friction pairs, ShKh15 steel with copper coating obtained by the method of gas-dynamic
        spraying, it can be concluded that the coatings are highly wear-resistant, commensurate with
        its indicators during friction in the selective transfer mode [7], when losses wear is extremely
        small.  The  coating  obtained  by  the  method  of  gas-dynamic  spraying  has  high  performance
        when tested under friction and wear conditions: Ih (coatings) ≈ (1.1 - 1.5) x 10-10 and Ih
        (counterbody) ≈ (0.3 - 0.4 ) x 10-11 with friction in mineral oil I-20A and Ih (coatings) ≈ (2 -
        5) x 10-10 and Ih (counterbody) ≈ 0.2 x 10-11 in Litol-24 grease .
               This gives grounds to believe that the gas-dynamic spraying method is a very promising
        tool for  solving problems  of  increasing  the  reliability,  durability  and  safety  of  operation  of
        friction units of various designs. In addition, the features of the wear of the coating indicate the
        dependence of the level of surface destruction during friction of the coating against steel both
        on the external test conditions (which is characteristic of the processes of friction and wear) and
        on the technological parameters of the process. The latter opens up prospects and directions
        of technological research for solving technical problems and ensuring the required performance
        characteristics of products. Friction pairs "steel - steel" have been extensively studied when
        assessing  the  effect  on  surface  properties  using  methods  of  thermal  and  chemical-thermal
        treatment [8]. For example, tribotechnical tests of a pair of ShKh15 steel (after quenching and
        ion implantation of nitrogen, 65 HRC) - ShKh15
        steel (after quenching 60-65 HRC) were carried
        out in the medium of a grease C grease at sliding
        speeds of 0.1 - 0.2 m / s and pressures at the
        contact 0 - 40 MPa. For these test conditions, the
        amount of wear is practically independent of the
        pressure at the contact and in the steady-state
        friction mode is Ih = 0.09 x 10-9 for a nitrided
        sample and Ih = 0.04 x 10-9 for a conjugated
        one.
               Considering a  number  of  circumstances:
        different lubricants, standard deviation σ = 0.19
        x  10-10,  general  high  level  of  wear  resistance
        of  ShKh15 steel with coatings (nitrided layer,
        copper film), different equipment recording weight loss, it can be assumed that the achieved
        level of the performance of the copper coating obtained by gas-dynamic spraying corresponds
        to the well-known more expensive methods of ensuring the performance of steel-steel friction
        pairs. It should be emphasized that the studied method of gas-dynamic spraying of copper (and
