Abstract: | The tribological behavior of ceramic Al2O3 coupled with gray cast iron (PHT) with different lubricants was investigated using a ring-on-block wear tester. In the wear test, air, distilled water, emulsion and oil were used as lubricants respectively in order to check the lubricating effectiveness of lubricants and the friction mechanism of solid graphite in the cast iron. Wear testing of 0.8% C steel (T8) sliding with Al2O3 was also carried out to compare with the test using gray cast iron. From these data the tribological behavior of graphite in the iron can be evaluated. The results show that the friction and wear of tested couples are decreased using different lubricants in the following order: air, distilled water, emulsion and oil. When lubricating with air and water, graphite in the iron as solid lubricant can decrease the friction and wear of the couples. However, when lubricating with emulsion and oil, graphite does not show the advantage of decreasing friction and wear. |
