IntroductionN31-type phosphate laser glass is widely used in high-power pulsed laser systems due to its high optical qual
4、ity, high damage threshold, and excellent thermal-mechanical properties. However, the friction and wear behavior of N31-type phosphate laser glass is critical for its practical applications in precision engineering and laser technology because surface damage can cause degradation of the optical prop
5、erties and reduced laser performance. Therefore, the investigation of the friction and wear properties of N31-type phosphate laser glass is of great significance. ExperimentalThe N31-type phosphate laser glass samples were prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method. The microstructure and ch
6、emical composition of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The friction and wear tests were conducted on a pin-on-disk tribometer under dry sliding conditions. The normal load, sliding velocity, and sliding distance were varied to s
7、tudy their effects on the friction and wear behavior of the glass samples. The worn surface morphology and chemical composition were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Results and discussionThe friction coefficient and wear rate of the N31-type phospha
8、te laser glass increased with the increasing normal load and sliding distance, but decreased with increasing sliding velocity. The trend of the friction coefficient and wear rate can be attributed to the change in the wear mechanism due to different sliding conditions. Under low normal load and slid
9、ing velocity, the wear mechanism was mainly abrasive wear caused by the hard wear particles or asperities on the counterface. With increasing normal load and sliding velocity, the surface temperature of the glass increased, and the adhesive wear mechanism became predominant due to the formation of i
10、nterfacial shear stresses, as well as the transfer and embedding of the abrasive particles into the glass surface. When the sliding distance increased, the contact area between the glass and counterface increased, resulting in an increase in the deformation and energy dissipation of the glass, which
11、 also increased the friction coefficient and wear rate. The worn surface morphology of the glass samples showed three types: microcracks, spalling, and delamination. Microcracks were caused by the local shear stresses and tensile stresses, which led to the initiation and propagation of cracks on the
12、 glass surface. Spalling was caused by the split or exfoliation of a large portion of material on the surface due to the formation of thermal stresses or tensile stresses. Delamination was caused by the peeling or separation of the glass surface layers due to the shear stresses between the surface l
13、ayer and the substrates. ConclusionThe friction and wear behaviors of N31-type phosphate laser glass were evaluated under dry sliding conditions. The results showed that the friction coefficient and wear rate were affected by the normal load, sliding velocity, and sliding distance. The wear mechanis
14、m of the glass samples was a combination of abrasive wear and adhesive wear. The worn surface morphology of the glass samples was characterized by microcracks, spalling, and delamination. The research results provided important theoretical and experimental guidance for the optimal design and applica

Keywords: N31-type phosphate laser glass; friction and wear; dry sliding conditions; wear mechanism.In addition to the above findings, it was observed that the wear rate of the N31-type phosphate laser glass increa
16、sed significantly at higher normal loads and sliding distances, indicating more severe damage to the glass surface. This can be attributed to the increase in the contact area between the glass and the counterface, resulting in more deformation and energy dissipation of the glass leading to increased
17、 wear. The worn surface morphology revealed by the scanning electron microscopy indicated the presence of microcracks, spalling, and delamination. For instance, the initiation and propagation of microcracks on the glass surface were caused by the tensile and shear stresses generated during the slidi
18、ng process. Spalling, on the other hand, was due to the split or exfoliation of a large portion of glass material as a result of high thermal or tensile stresses. Delamination, which occurred by the peeling or separation of the surface layers, resulted from the shear stresses between the surface and
19、 the substrates. The study highlighted that the friction and wear properties of N31-type phosphate laser glass are influenced by the sliding conditions such as normal load, sliding velocity, and sliding distance. The findings presented in this study are of great significance for the optimal design a
20、nd application of N31-type phosphate laser glass in precision engineering and laser technology. It is important to note that the research only focused on the dry sliding conditions, and further studies are needed to investigate the performance of this glass under other operating conditions such as l
21、ubricated or humid environments.Moreover, the study showed that the wear of the N31-type phosphate laser glass followed the Archard wear equation, which correlates the wear rate with the normal load, sliding distance, and hardness of the materials in contact. The study also examined the effect of sl
22、iding velocity on the wear behavior of the glass and found that higher sliding velocities tend to increase the wear rate, likely due to the increased frictional heat generated at the interface. To further understand the wear mechanisms of N31-type phosphate laser glass, the study also analyzed the e
23、lemental composition and crystal structure of the worn surfaces using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The results revealed that the wear-induced damage on the glass surface caused the separation and redistribution of the metal ions in the glass, which may have
24、altered the surface chemical and electronic properties of the glass. In conclusion, the study demonstrated the influence of normal load, sliding distance, sliding velocity, and the wear mechanisms on the friction and wear properties of N31-type phosphate laser glass. The findings have important impl
25、ications for designing and selecting appropriate materials for high-performance laser systems and other precision applications. Further research is needed to investigate the effects of lubrication and environmental factors on the wear behavior of this glass to advance our understanding of its perfor
