Abstract: | To study the transition of the lubricated wear of 0.53% C steel in the steady state, wear tests were carried out by rubbing the annular surfaces of two cylindrical test pieces in machine oil with no additives. The ratio of mating areas was varied to approach actual contact conditions. Three regions of variation in the coefficient of friction with contact load were determined. Fatigue wear, characterized by a friction coefficient μ ≈ 0.05 and a specific wear rate ωs ≈ 0.005 × 10?6 mm3 N?1 m?1, occurs in the first region.A transition from fatigue wear to adhesive wear, with μ ≈ 0.05?0.12 and ωs ≈ (0.005?0.05) × 10?6 mm3 N?1 m?1, takes place gradually within a specific load range. Finally, adhesive wear predominates above the load level that marks the end of the transition. The same behaviour was analysed through stepwise loading tests. The onset of transition and seizure occurs at constant mean surface temperatures. However, the end of transition is also affected by factors other than temperature. The results are compared with the transitions reported by the International Research Group on Wear of Engineering Materials of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. |
