The apparatus for measuring the rolling force of a ball supported between two plates is described. The rolling force is an extremely small quantity compared to the normal force. Instantaneous values of the rolling force vary greatly from point to point on the sample surface and this variation is explained in terms of surface roughness and material homogeneity. The energy losses of balls rolling on plates are shown as functions of load, material, and surface roughness. The rolling of a ball on a plate is examined as a cyclic process in which elastic hysteresis losses appear to be the primary source of energy dissipation. An analysis involving the Hertzian contact stress field is used to derive an equation relating the rolling force and the material damping capacity.

AbstractA novel two-dimensional ultrasonic surface burnishing process (2D-USBP) is proposed. 7075-T6 aluminum samples are processed by a custom-designed 2D-USBP setup. Parameter optimization of 2D-USBP is conducted to determine the best processing strategy of 7075-T6 aluminum. A uniform design method is utilized to optimize the 2D-USBP process. U13(133) and U7(72) tables are established to conduct parameter optimization. Burnishing depth, spindle speed, and feed rate are taken as the control parameters. The surface roughness and Vickers hardness are taken as the evaluation indicators. It establishes the active control models for surface quality. Dry wear tests are conducted to compare the wear-resistance of the 2D-USBP treated sample and the original sample. Results show that the machining quality of 2D-USBP is best under 0.24 mm burnishing depth, 5000 r/min spindle speed, and 25 mm/min feed rate. The surface roughness Sa of the sample is reduced from 2517.758 to 50.878 nm, and the hardness of the sample surface is improved from 167 to 252 HV. Under the lower load, the wear mechanism of the 2D-USBP treated sample is mainly abrasive wear accompanied by delamination wear, while the wear mechanism of the original sample is mainly delamination wear. Under the higher load, the accumulation of frictional heat on the sample surface transforms the wear mechanisms of the original and the 2D-USBP treated samples into thermal wear.

Using a new type of gear-load testing machine and a disk-type rolling fatigue testing machine designed and made by the authors, the upper limits of Hertzian contact stress allowable on rolling contact surfaces were investigated. It was shown conclusively that gears and rollers made of soft carbon steels could be rotated beyond 108 revolutions at Hertzian stresses over shakedown limit (≈ 0.4 HB). In the case of gears, pits having a pitting area ratio of 0.04 percent occurred during 1.16 × 108 rotations at a Hertzian stress of 0.50 HB. However, no pitting occurred on the roller rotated through 1.20 × 108 revolutions at a Hertzian stress of 0.71 HB, although appreciable changes in texture were observed at the subsurface. In order to rotate gears or rollers at Hertzian stresses over shakedown limit, their surface must either be very smooth initially or after a short period of running, and an oil film must be formed between contacting surfaces.

The surface roughness plays an important role in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). To improve the lubrication system the flow behavior and lubrication mechanism must be understood, especially in the thin film classification. The effects of surface roughness in the EHL problem are complicated and difficult to measure by experiment. Therefore numerical simulation using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approach is proposed in this research. The CFD model developed has taken the arbitrary surface roughness into consideration, and has been used to predict the characteristics of fluid flow, such as the pressure distribution, the minimal film thickness and the shear stress. The cylinder is considered to be under elastic deformation according to the theory of Hertzian contact and the surface of cylinder is defined to have an arbitrary roughness. The simulation results show that the surface roughness has significant effects on the pressure profile and shear stress, especially in the case of pure rolling, where the two parameters in the rough surface case show large fluctuations that are much higher than the corresponding smooth surface case.

Eco-friendly and low-cost water-based nanolubricants containing rutile TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were developed for accelerating their applications in industrial-scale hot steel rolling. The lubrication performance of developed nanolubricants was evaluated in a 2-high Hille 100 experimental rolling mill at a rolling temperature of 850 °C in comparison to that of pure water. The results indicate that the use of nanolubricant enables one to decrease the rolling force, reduce the surface roughness and the oxide scale thickness, and enhance the surface hardness. In particular, the nanolubricant consisting of 4 wt % TiO2, 10 wt % glycerol, 0.2 wt % sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and 1 wt % Snailcool exhibits the best lubrication performance by lowering the rolling force, surface roughness and oxide scale thickness by up to 8.1%, 53.7% and 50%, respectively. The surface hardness is increased by 4.4%. The corresponding lubrication mechanisms are attributed to its superior wettability and thermal conductivity associated with the synergistic effect of rolling, mending and laminae forming that are contributed by TiO2 NPs.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the macro- and micro-structure and the chemical composition of the surface of 5 different commercially available dental implants. Roughness values were also calculated. Materials and Methods: 1 zirconia implant (NobelPearl of Nobel Biocare) and 4 titanium implants, Syra (Sweden&Martina), Prama (Sweden&Martina), T3 (Biomet 3i), and Shard (Mech&Human), were analyzed through SEM-EDX analysis and quantitative evaluation of surface roughness (1 sample), and XPS chemical analysis (1 sample). Surface roughness was quantitatively assessed using the stereo-SEM method (SSEM). The following area roughness parameters were calculated, according to ISO25178: Sa, Sz, and Sdr. Results: From the SEM observations, all the implants analyzed presented modern well-developed micro-structures as the result of the specific process of double acid etching alone or combined with other additional treatments. Roughness values were generally greater at the level of the implant body and lower at the collar. The chemical characterization of the implant surfaces exhibited excellent results for all of the implants and indicated good care in the production processes. Conclusions: All the samples were well-conceived in terms of topography and surface roughness, and clean in terms of chemical residues.

This paper investigates the influence of different number of laser pulses on contact behavior and conductivity of the surface layer of femtosecond laser microstructured, sulfur-doped silicon. Single shot laser processed silicon (Pink Silicon) is characterized by low surface roughness, whereas five shot laser processed silicon (Grey Silicon) has an elevated sulfur content with a surface roughness low enough to maintain good contacting. To laterally confine the laser induced pn-junction part of the Grey Silicon sample surface is etched off. The etching depth is confirmed to be sufficient to completely remove the active n-type sulfur layer. While Pink Silicon shows little or no lateral conductivity within the laser processed layer, Grey Silicon offers acceptable conductivity, just as expected by the fact of having incorporated a higher sulfur dopant content. Recombination dominates the irradiated regions of Pink Silicon and suppresses excess charge carrier collection. Grey Silicon, while showing sufficient lateral conductivity, still shows regions of lower conductivity, most likely dominated by the laser irradiation-induced formation of dislocations. According to our results, the optimum laser pulse number for electrical and structural properties is expected to be in the range between one and five laser pulses.

This study shows the influence of the temperature in the Direct Forming Laser process (DFL) of 316L stainless steel metal powder. Results shows that an increasing in the sample surface temperature can improve the laser beam absorption in the DFL process. A pre-heating in the substrate and in the powder contributed to decrease the time to reach the melting point and to improve the surface roughness. This effect was investigated with constant lasers parameters (scanning speed and intensity) and a heating in the samples in the temperature range of 20oto 200oC. It was possible to evaluate the DFL process and to optimize the quality of the sample surface roughness. These results will benefit the knowledge of the DFL technology that can be applied in the development of turbine blades.

This study performed the finite element analysis of the cycle of stress intensity factors at the surface initiated rolling contact fatigue crack tip under Hertzian contact stress including an accurate model of friction between the faces of the crack and the effect of fluid inside the crack. A two-dimensional model of a rolling contact fatigue crack has been developed with FRANC-2D software. The model includes the effect of Coulomb friction between the faces of the crack. The fluid in the crack was assumed not only to lubricate the crack faces and reduce the crack face friction coefficient but also to generate a pressure.

The vibroburnishing is a process of surface plastic deforming applied to parts made of metallic materials to diminish the surface roughness, to increase the microhardness of the superficial layer, to generate internal stresses more convenient in certain service conditions of the parts. Practically, the ball vibrorolling process appeared as a result of including a vibratory motion. A ball is used as a deformation tool, as in the case of the more known process of burnishing. The analysis of the vibrorolling process showed that the simplest and the most accessible way of changing the process results could be based by considering the workpiece peripheral rotation speed and the longitudinal feed, respectively. An experimental research was proposed and performed to establish some empirical mathematical models that highlight the influence exerted by the workpiece peripheral rotation speed and by the longitudinal feed on the values of the Ra surface roughness parameter and on the thickness of the hardened surface layer at the ball vibrorolling of the external cylindrical surfaces. The investigation considered also the influence of the distance from the test sample surface on the variation of the Vickers microhardness in the test sample superficial layer.

Automated stone manufacturing has undergone considerable development in recent years. Thanks to international research dealing with the cutting, sawing and grinding of different natural stones, processing time shortens and tool-life lengthens. However, the process of stone milling has not been extensively examined yet, primarily because of the novelty of this technology. The aim of the research described in this article is to examine how variable cutting speed affects the quality of workpiece edges while milling granite materials. For the research, sample surfaces were formed on five granite slabs with different average grain sizes using five cutting speed values. Afterwards, changes in the average surface roughness and average edge chipping rate were examined. From the research results, it can be concluded that, due to an increase in cutting speed, the average edge chipping rate will decrease until reaching a borderline speed. In the case of a higher cutting speed, the referent tendency cannot be ascertained. A statistical analysis conducted in the scope of this research showed that if a variable cutting speed is applied, then changes in the quality of the sample surface edge can be inferred from the development trends of average surface roughness.
