In this paper, the influence of surface roughness on the local tribological load with a dry sliding contact is studied. First, three artificial rough surfaces with similar structure but different asperity heights are generated and projected on a smooth ball. After that, a contact pattern is determined between a rough ball and a smooth surface taking into account the elastic only as well as the linear elastic-perfectly plastic material description. On the basis of the calculated contact pressure distribution, the subsurface stresses and a three-dimensional temperature distribution in the sliding contact are calculated. The solutions show that a low surface roughness not necessarily results in low local tribological load of the surface.

The surface roughnesses of two surfaces in a wear contact can change throughout the course of the wear process. This may or may not change the lubrication mechanism of the system depending on the real area of contact as influenced by the changes in the surface roughness. The present work examines the changes in surface roughness within the contact area, as well as the relative mating of the two surfaces. To quantify the similarity between the two wear surfaces, a new concept, the relative surface conformity, has been defined and developed. To effectively measure this parameter, a computer program was written to input the wear scar profilometry traces and to calculate the relative surface conformity of the two. Finally, the relative surface conformity was shown to rise with increasing test duration, during running in.
