The influence of surface textures on the friction and surface damage of grease lubricated ball on flat fretting and short stroke reciprocating sliding has been investigated. The tested steel and DLC coated steel specimen were given eight different texture patterns and were compared with untextured ground and polished surfaces. The objective is to find optimum treatment of fretting surfaces to endure vibratory contact without suffering severe surface damage, by introducing lubricant supply between the surfaces within the area of contact. The friction evolution was continuously recorded. The friction and surface damage behaviour is discussed.

Machining-induced surface topography has a significant effect on tribological performance of machined components in sliding contact. However, the effect of different surface topography by turning versus grinding on tribological performance has received very little attention. In this study four types of surface topography by turning and grinding AISI 52100 bearing steel (62 HRc) were prepared and characterized to study its effect on friction and wear in sliding contact. Dry and lubricated reciprocating sliding wear tests with an on-line acoustic emission (AE) sensor were carried out using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The experimental results have shown that: (i) the turned surfaces, regardless of the presence of a white layer, yield smaller friction of coefficients in sliding along feed marks than across sliding at both dry and lubricated conditions. However, the opposite hold true for the ground surfaces; (ii) friction of coefficients (0.6∼0.8) at dry conditions is higher for both turned and ground fresh surfaces than their white layer counterparts regardless of sliding direction. At lubricated conditions, Friction of coefficients (0.1∼0.12) are smaller for the both turned and ground fresh surfaces than the white layer surfaces in along sliding, while it is equivalent in across sliding; (iii) the trends of acoustic amplitude amplitude are consistent with those of frictional coefficients for the turned or ground surfaces at dry conditions. Similar trends are also true for the turned surfaces at lubricated conditions, but not for the ground surfaces; and (iv) the wear debris on the track may act as solid lubricants to reduce the sliding frictional coefficient. Machining induced white layers leads to a better wear resistance than the fresh surfaces in either along or across sliding.

Five rolling contact fatigue tests, Tests {1}–{5} have been conducted. In Tests {1}–{3}, when a fatigue crack was initiated on the surface of a follower, the test was halted. Then, in Test {1} the rotating direction was reversed. In Test {2} the follower and driver were interchanged, and in Test {3} the test was continued unchanged. In Test {3} the original crack grew to a pit. In Tests {1} and {2} the original crack immediately stopped propagating. In Tests {4} and {5}, mating with a harder roller, a softer roller was used as the follower in Test {4} and as the driver in Test {5}. A typical pit occurred in Test {4}. In Test {5}, surface damage substantially different from a typical pit was generated. Based on these experimental results, a 3-D crack analysis including the effect of frictional force on the contact surface and oil hydraulic pressure on crack surfaces, was conducted to elucidate the mechanisms of pit formation and surface damage in contact fatigue.

A two-disk test rig researching surface damage and ultimate performance of rolling-sliding tribo-parts in extreme conditions is designed. Variable speed (rolling speed up to 83.6m/s, sliding speed up to 16.4m/s) of the rolling/sliding contact are input by motor spindle and regulated with gear. Variable load (Hertzian contact up to 4GPa) is applied with hydraulic cylinder. High temperature (~+300°C) and cryogenic environment(liquid nitrogen) is implemented by changing the lubricant condition. Thermal-stress analysis with ANSYS shows that the temperature and stress of the tester body is reasonable. As the signals judging failure, such parameters as temperature and vibration of the supporting bearing, power consumption of the main spindle, temperature of the tribo-parts surface are monitored in real time. Kingview, PLC, VB and MATLAB software are employed in the online monitoring system to collect data automatically. Types of tribo-parts were tested in the test rig, getting their ultimate performance and the effect of each parameter on surface damage.
