Desorption-adhesion mechanism of wear under boundary lubrication

Experimental results of studying the wear of a model sliding tribosystem, which consists of a rotating shaft and a plane bearing, are presented. An interrelation between dynamic processes that occur in boundary films and processes of adhesive wear of surfaces under friction has been established. A desorption-adhesion mechanism of wear under boundary lubrication has been proposed; this mechanism is based on the localization of the adhesive wear of surfaces in the diffuser zone of a contact.     

Determination of load carrying ability of chemical films developed in sliding point contact

It has already been known for many years that the use of some extreme-pressure (EP), antiwear or friction modifier (FM) additives in mineral oils can produce different kind of boundary or chemical reaction films on sliding contact surfaces of some kinds of steel in boundary lubrication conditions. Using a sliding ball-on-disc configuration lubricated with some kinds of EP or FM, the wear scars on the balls can always reach the same limit size at a specified applied load and sliding velocity. From the fact that the limit sizes of wear scars decrease as sliding speed is increased or applied load is decreased, the load carrying ability of a chemical film can be obtained by extrapolating the data to the condition of zero sliding speed and is so defined that if the contact pressure is greater than this load carrying ability, the contact surfaces will continuously be worn; if the contact pressure is smaller than it, no more wear will occur on the surfaces. Based on this load carrying ability, the hydrodynamic effect of sliding pairs can also be identified. Therefore, the limit size of wear scar at specified sliding speed and applied load can also be predicted in a mixed lubrication condition.     

Development of a wear equation for polymer-metal sliding in terms of the fatigue and topography of the sliding surfaces

A wear equation has been derived using the concept of fatigue failure due to asperity interactions in the contact region between sliding bodies. One of the three principal stresses that arise in the contact zone under the effect of a normal as well as a tangential load is of tensile nature. It is this principal stress that has been considered to be responsible for the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks. It is assumed that the deformation in the contact zone is of elastic nature and that both the contacting surfaces are covered with asperities that have spherical tips. The wear equation involves the asperity height distribution φ(z). The particular distribution for a sliding situation is determined from experimental studies of the topography of sliding surfaces. The wear equation indicates that the wear rate depends upon the fatigue properties of the weaker material, normal load, sliding speed, coefficient of friction, moduli of elasticity of the contacting materials, asperity density, asperity radius of curvature and the distribution and standard deviation of asperity heights. The variation of wear with these parameters as indicated by the wear equation is in agreement with the experimental studies already reported in the literature.     

A surface wear model for hypoid gear pairs

In this paper, a methodology was proposed for simulation of surface wear of face-milled or face-hobbed hypoid gear pairs. The methodology combines Archard's wear model with a finite-element based hypoid gear contact model. The wear model requires the sliding distances and contact pressures to be computed along the contact zones at each rotational gear position. Formulations were proposed for computation of sliding distance along the tooth contact zones based on hypoid gear kinematics and geometry of the tooth surfaces, and the contact model was used to predict the normal contact pressure distributions. An example hypoid gear pair was analyzed for its wear behavior. Influences of gear position errors on wear patterns were demonstrated. An approximate method that is computationally more efficient was also proposed at the end.     

摩擦磨损试验机对润滑剂承载能力测试结果的比较

对四球机、Falex,Tunkon和FGZ摩擦磨损试验机测定的润滑油脂承载能力(油性、抗磨性和极压性)结果进行了比较,发现变化趋势并非完全相同;从纳米摩擦学角度考察了影响测试效果的各种因素,发现润滑油脂承载能力依赖于试验机摩擦副的情况,具体是:(1)摩擦副材质的不同;(2)摩擦副接触方式不同,如点、线或面接触;(3)摩擦副的运动方式不同,如滑动和滚动。四球机为点接触试验,可在较短的时间内准确地测量磨损值,需要试样量较少,而线接触试验机通常需要磨合期,试验周期较长,进行质量监控时最好用四球试验机。     

Dynamical Evolution of Wear Particles in Nanocontacts

Nanoscale surface modification, by the interaction of sliding surfaces and mobile nanoparticles, is a critical parameter for controlling friction, wear and failure of surface structures. Here we demonstrate how nanoparticles form and interact in real-time at moving nanocontacts, with reciprocating wear tests imaged in situ at the nanoscale over >300 cycles in a transmission electron microscope. Between sliding surfaces, friction-formed nanoparticles are observed with rolling, sliding and spinning motions, dependant on localised contact conditions and particle geometry. Over periods of many scratch cycles, nanoparticles dynamically agglomerate into elongated clusters, and dissociate into smaller particulates. We also show that the onset of rolling motion of these particles accompanies a reduction in measured friction. Introduction of nanoparticles with optimum shape and property can thus be used to control friction and wear in microdevices.

ANALYSIS OF THERMAL-ELASTIC STRESS OF WHEEL-RAIL IN ROLLING-SLIDING CONTACT

A coupling thermo-mechanical model of wheel/rail in rolling-sliding contact is put forward using finite element method. The normal contact pressure is idealized as the Hertzian distribution, and the tangential force presented by Carter is used. In order to obtain thermal-elastic stress, the ther-mal-elastic plane stress problem is transformed to an elastic plane stress problem with equivalent fictitious thermal body force and fictitious boundary distributed force. The temperature rise and ther-mal-elastic stress of wheel and rail in rolling-sliding are analyzed. The non-steady state heat transfer between the contact surfaces of wheel and rail, heat-convection and radiation between the wheel/rail and the ambient are taken into consideration. The influences of the wheel rolling speed and wear rate on friction temperature and thermal-elastic stress are investigated. The results show the following: ① For rolling-sliding case, the thermal stress in the thin layer near the contact patch due to the friction temperature rise is severe. The higher rolling speed leads to the lower friction temperature rise and thermal stress in the wheel; ② For sliding case, the friction temperature and thermal stress of the wheel rise quickly in the initial sliding stage, and then get into a steady state gradually. The expansion of the contact patch, due to material wear, can affect the friction temperature rise and the thermal stress during wear process. The higher wear rate generates lower stress. The results can help under-stand the influence of friction temperature and thermal-elastic stress on wheel and rail damage.

Influence of Thermal Fatigue on the Wear Behavior of Brake Discs Sliding against Organic and Semimetallic Friction Materials

ABSTRACT

In this article, brake discs are exposed to high thermal stress, causing thermal fatigue damage. The aim of this work is to study the evolution of the wear behavior of brake disc materials, such as cast iron, chromium steel, and metal matrix composites, under the influence of thermal fatigue. The brake disc specimens are heated and then cooled rapidly. Then, wear tests are carried out using a pin-on-disc-type tribometer. Organic and semimetallic friction materials are used for all wear tests. The results show that thermal fatigue affects the structure of the contact surfaces of all of the disc specimens by increasing their roughness. Furthermore, the wear rate of the friction materials increased, except a reduction of the wear rate is noted for the semimetallic friction material rubbing against cast iron. Moreover, thermal fatigue has no significant influence on the coefficient of friction. The worn surface of the metal matrix composite sliding against semimetallic friction material is characterized by abrasive and adhesive wear mechanisms.     

Development of a test device for the evaluation of fretting in point contact

Fretting wear and fatigue may occur between any two contacting surfaces, wherever short‐amplitude reciprocating sliding is present for a large number of cycles. A test device has been developed for the evaluation of fretting fatigue and wear in partial and gross slip conditions. Three similar sphere‐on‐plane contacts run at the same time. Normal force, tangential force or displacement amplitude and constant bulk stress can be controlled and measured separately. Reciprocating tangential displacement is produced with rotational motion, the amplitude and frequency of which can be adjusted and controlled accurately by an electric shaker. The number of load cycles for crack initiation and growth is determined with strain‐gauge measurements near the fretting point of contact. The contact surfaces are measured with 3D optical profilometer before fretting measurements to determine actual contact geometry. The measurements were done with quenched and tempered steel. The initial results indicate that cracks are mostly formed in partial slip conditions, whereas fretting wear is more heavily involved in gross slip conditions. The initiation of a crack occurs near the edge of the contact in the slip direction, where the calculated cracking risk has its maximum value in partial slip conditions. The number of cracks increases as the displacement amplitude, i.e. friction force, increases in partial slip conditions. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Friction of Undulated Surfaces Coated with MoS2 by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide can provide very low friction, but their effectiveness especially in the geometrically constrained sliding pairs is limited by plowing of coated surfaces by wear particles. Even in the presence of solid lubricants wear particles cause higher friction by plowing the interface. To minimize plowing, undulated surfaces with microgrooves perpendicular to the sliding direction can be used to trap wear particles. Smooth and undulated stainless steel surfaces were coated with molybdenum disulfide by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and friction tested. Under identical test conditions, the friction coefficient of coated undulated surfaces is between 20–40 percent lower than that of coated smooth surfaces. The friction coefficient of undulated uncoated surfaces is about 100–350 percent less than that of smooth uncoated surfaces. Moreover, the entrapment of wear particles at the interfaces of geometrically constrained bearings may lead to seizure even when bearing surfaces are coated with solid lubricants. The use of undulated surf aces on these sliding systems has shown improved operating time and a reduced maintenance cycle.     

Plastic deformation of surface layer during rigid cylinder rolling and sliding

Steady-state plastic deformation of the surface layer induced by the rolling and sliding of a rigid cylinder is investigated using ideal plastic plane strain theory taking into consideration contact friction. The plastic region and length of the contact arc related to the forces and the moment applied to the cylinder are calculated. Results are studied for rolling friction theory in the case of large contact loads and for surface plastic-layer deformation to increase the wear resistance and fatigue strength of machine parts.     

外界压力对粗糙表面摩擦与接触的影响研究

为研究外界压力对粗糙表面摩擦的影响,建立斜面滑块在不同真空度下的模型并进行试验测量在不同真空度下不同摩擦副配伍材料发生初始滑动时的斜面倾角。试验结果表明：随着外界压力增加,滑块发生初始滑动时的倾角增大,静摩擦力也增大。对于硬度小、重量轻以及接触面积大的摩擦副材料和零部件,其所受外界压力的影响更大。当外界压力从真空度-0.095 MPa增加到0 MPa,轴承钢/轴承钢的最大静摩擦力增大11%、轴承钢/聚碳酸酯增大12%,而聚碳酸酯/聚碳酸酯增大39%。由于通常情况下物体间的摩擦性能总是会受到外界压力的影响,因此真实摩擦角应在绝对真空环境下进行测量,而在大气中进行的测量都存在误差。同时可用文中方法测量两物体的实际接触面积。试验表明随着载荷增加实际接触面积增加,跟摩擦学的经验理论一致。

Predictions of cam follower wear in diesel engines

The rate of wear of cam followers in a valve train system is mainly a function of contact stress between the cam and the follower, sliding velocity and hydrodynamic film thickness between the two mating surfaces. The problem of surface fatigue wear becomes severe as the contact between cam and follower exceeds the plasticity limit of material. It finally leads to an increase in valve lash and loss of engine performance. The wear is minimised by reducing the coefficient of friction and by minimizing the compressive stress.In this paper, an attempt has been made to estimate the wear of followers quantitatively. The profile of followers resulting from steady and non-catastropic wear processes is computed by combining a linear wear relation and an elasto-hydrodynamic or boundary lubrication transition model with kinematic analysis. The finite element analysis, AVL TYCON simulation program and classical methodology have been effectively used to predict the follower wear. The model was validated on all types of followers widely varying in size, brake mean effective pressure and speed. The predicted wear profiles exhibit satisfactory agreement with experimental observations. At the end of the paper, a design guideline for designing a cam follower for low wear rate is given.     

Wear and Lubrication Behaviors of Cu-Based Friction Pairs with Asperity Contacts: Numerical and Experimental Studies

This paper aims to investigate the wear and lubrication behaviors of wet Cu-based friction pairs. A mixed lubrication model in plane contacts is developed, and the tests of pin-on-disk are carried out. Wear losses are measured by the oil spectrum analysis method. The wear loss, the real contact area ratio, and the load sharing ratio are analyzed. Effects of sliding velocity, temperature, and pressure are considered. The results show that the temperature is the most significant influence on the wear loss of lubricated Cu-based friction pairs. As the temperature rises from 30 to 150 °C, wear loss increases from less than 0.4 mg to about 2.3 mg. The wear factor of the lubricated Cu-based friction pair in asperity contact areas is \(K_{c} = 9.4 \times 10^{ - 9}\) (g/Nm). When the lubricated wear is slight, the oil spectrum analysis method is an effective approach to accurately determine the wear loss.     

On evaluation of wear resistance of tooth enamel and dental materials

A survey of the literature shows that in many studies on the wear resistance of tooth enamel or dental materials a large scatter of experimental data has been obtained when wear tests were performed at a fixed load. Despite the steady loading, wear conditions vary during sliding, since tooth enamel as well as dental materials have inhomogeneous structure. This leads to changes in contact interactions between sliding surfaces, and as a result, we get changes in the friction and wear behaviour of tested materials. This is why at the same loading the wear can be different. In this study, more reliable approach to evaluation of the wear resistance of human enamel and dental materials is proposed. The procedure is based on the correlation between the volumetric wear and the friction energy dissipated during sliding. The model can be useful to compare the wear resistance of different dental materials tested in different ambient conditions.     

Acoustic emission method for research and control of friction pairs

One of the new physical methods that provides much information about the processes going on in a friction contact zone in real time is acoustic emission (AE). Basic experimental results of AE in friction are presented and analysed. Using AE signals we can get an indication about the state of the friction processes, about the quality of solid and liquid layers on the contacting surfaces in real time, sometimes about intensity of wear, changing of wear and friction regimes and so on. The influence of sliding velocity, load, roughness and some physical and mechanical properties of the body on the parameters of AE are also given. Some attention to the practical implementation of these techniques for control of capability for work of friction pairs in real conditions are given. Modern methods and devices enable condition monitoring of sliding and rolling bearings.
