Tribological characteristics of steel combinations are observed in this study using rotating tribometer. Experiments are done under different roughnesses ofpin slides on stainless steel disc for different operating conditionsCertain trends are obtained between friction and rubbing durations. During experiment, it is foundthat there are significant relationship between friction coefficient and operating parameters. In fact, at initial stage friction coefficients of tested material are increased at a particular level with time and finally the friction becomes steady for remaining investigation period. Studies indicate that lower values of friction are obtained with higher loads for SS 202 slides against different roughnesses ofmild steel counterface. Under similar conditions,higher values of frictions are found with higher values of sliding velocity. In addition to that, wear rates show higher values with higher load and velocity conditions. Tribological characteristics are varied for different roughnesses of pin materials under experimental ranges of two influencing prameters.

This paper examines the relation between friction/wear and different types of steel materials under different normal loads and sliding velocities and to explore the possibility of adding controlled normal load and sliding velocity to a mechanical process. In order to do so, a pin on disc apparatus is designed and fabricated. Experiments are carried out when different types of disc materials such as stainless steel 304 (SS 304), stainless steel 316 (SS 316) and mild steel slide against stainless steel 304 (SS 304) pin. Variations of friction coefficient with the duration of rubbing at different normal loads and sliding velocities are investigated. Results show that friction coefficient varies with duration of rubbing, normal load and sliding velocity. In general, friction coefficient increases for a certain duration of rubbing and after that it remains constant for the rest of the experimental time. The obtained results reveal that friction coefficient decreases with the increase in normal load for all the tested materials. It is also found that friction coefficient increases with the increase in sliding velocity for all the materials investigated. Moreover, wear rate increases with the increase in normal load and sliding velocity. At identical operating condition, the magnitudes of friction coefficient and wear rate are different for different materials depending on sliding velocity and normal load.

The purpose of this study is to find out the tribological characteristics of the various lubricants in cold forging of helical gear, which is used in mobile auto-transmission. Five kinds of lubricant were used in this study, i.e. L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5. The pin-on-disk type of friction wear test system has been adopted here. The normal load of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100N has been applied to the test specimen. The sliding velocities were 0.06, 0.10, 0.14, 0.18, 0.22, 0.26, 0.30 and 0.34m/s. Experimental results show that the friction coefficients of oils having higher kinematic viscosity such as L1, L2, L4 and L5 tend to increase gradually as the sliding velocity increases. The increasing rate of the friction coefficient is relatively high in lower sliding velocity range. However in case of L3 which has low kinematic viscosity the friction coefficient tends to decrease as the sliding velocity increases. The friction coefficients of Bondelube and Bondelite were 3 times higher than those of L1 and L5. The Stribeck curve indicates that L1, L2, L4 and L5 were in hydrodynamic lubrication condition and L3 was in boundary lubrication condition. SEM micrographs revealed that there were some scratch, adhesive wear, adhesion wear and scuffing on the worn surface.

The main factors that influent the friction coefficient between PTFE and stainless-steel of sliding isolation bearings (SIB) are introduced in this paper. The positive pressure, sliding velocity, air temperature and lubricant all played important roles to the friction coefficient of SIB. By means of experimental investigation, the friction coefficient of SIB is indicated, and according to the test data, estimation formula of friction coefficient is regressed. Furthermore, relationship between friction coefficient, positive pressure and the use of lubricant are preliminarily validated.

In this research, friction coefficients of engineering polymers such as nylon and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are investigated under normal load and sliding velocity. Experiments are conducted when nylon and PTFE slide against different counterface pin materials such as mild steel and stainless steel 202 (SS 202). Experiments are carried out at different normal loads 2, 4 and 6 N, and sliding velocities 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 m/s. Results show that in general, friction coefficient of nylon decreases with the increase in normal load and sliding velocity. On the other hand, during friction process, PTFE shows different trend i.e. friction coefficient of PTFE increases with the increase in normal load and sliding velocity. Moreover, it is observed that at identical operating conditions, the values of friction coefficient of nylon and PTFE are different depending on normal load, sliding velocity and counterface material.

Present work aimed at investigating the friction and wear of martensitic stainless steel of grade 410. This steel is used in nuclear industry for various moving components due to its high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. Properties of this material depend upon the heat treatment to which subjected to. The wear tests by sliding were performed on a pin on disk apparatus whose pin is in normalized and tempered condition. The counter face disc was machined from EN24 steel of high hardness in nature. The AISI 410 stainless steel wear rates were evaluated using Pin-on Disc Tribometer at various load and sliding speed. The worn pins were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy and surface profilometer.

An endeavor has been made to study and compare the friction coefficient of different polymer and composite materials. Experiments were carried out when stainless steel 304 (SS 304) pin slides on different types of composite and polymer materials such as cloth reinforced ebonite (commercially known as gear fiber), glass fiber reinforced plastic (glass fiber), nylon and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Experiments were conducted at normal load 5, 7.5, 10 N, sliding velocity 0.5, 0.75, 1 m/s and relative humidity 70%. Variations of friction coefficient with the duration of rubbing at different normal loads and sliding velocities were investigated. Results show that friction coefficient varies with duration of rubbing, normal load and sliding velocity. In general, friction coefficient increases with the increase in normal load and sliding velocity for all the tested materials except nylon. At identical operating conditions, the magnitudes of friction coefficient are different for different polymer and composite materials.

The friction behavior of Ti3SiC2 sliding against low carbon steel was studied. Tests were carried out on a block-on-disk type friction tester, with the normal pressures from 0.2 MPa to 0.8 MPa and the sliding speed of 20 m/s. The results showed that, irrespective of the normal pressure, the friction coefficient exhibits a transition period in the initial stage of a sliding friction process, in which the friction coefficient increases from an initial value and tends to a saturation value, and then enters into a relatively steady stage. The results also showed that, the friction coefficient of the steady stage decreases gradually from 0.35 to 0.26 with increase in normal pressure from 0.2 MPa to 0.8 MPa. The friction surfaces were observed by using SEM. It was found that all the surfaces were covered by a layer consisting of the frictional products with antifriction effect, and that the denseness and the thickness of the layer were increased with increase in normal pressure applied.

The tribo-map of typical CVD diamond film exhibiting the interaction between the wear rate, friction coefficient and friction conditions would help optimize the working parameters of CVD diamond film coated tools and wear-resistance components. The tribological behaviors of CVD diamond films sliding against Si3N4 balls were studied by conducting a group of tests on the ball-on-plate type reciprocating friction tester under several sliding speeds and normal loads in the ambient air. The examined MCD films and NCD films were deposited on square flat WC-Co substrates. The worn surfaces on the diamond films were observed by SEM and the wear volumes of diamond films were measured by surface profilometer. The results indicated that the influences of the sliding speeds and normal loads on the friction coefficients for both MCD films and NCD films were obvious. When the load was 6 N, MCD film obtained the lowest friction coefficient of 0.11 at the sliding velocity of 0.2 m/s, while for NCD film the minimum value was 0.07 as the sliding speed was 0.13 m/s. The wear rate of the MCD film decreased as the load improved, while for the NCD film, the tendency was just the opposite. The influence of sliding speed on the wear rate of the MCD films was not distinct, while for the NCD films, the sliding velocity greatly affects their wear rate. The wear rates of most NCD films were around 0.2×10-7 mm3/Nm, while those of the MCD films fluctuated from 0.6×10-7~1.6×10-7 mm3/Nm. To elucidate the effect of operating environment on wear mechanism of diamond/ Si3N4 tribo-pair, the tribo-map was developed.

In this study, friction coefficients of different steel materials are investigated and compared. Experiments are carried out when different types of steel discs such as stainless steel 201 (SS 201), stainless steel 301 (SS 301) and mild steel slide against mild steel pin. Experiments are conducted at normal load 5, 7.5 and 10 N, sliding velocity 0.5, 0.75 and 1 m/s and relative humidity 70%. The effects of duration of rubbing on the friction coefficient of different steel materials are investigated. Results show that during friction process, test disc takes less time to stabilize with the increased normal load or sliding velocity. It is found that friction coefficient decreases with the increase in normal load while it increases with the increase in sliding velocity for all the tested materials. As a comparison, it is found that at identical operating conditions, friction coefficients are different for different steel materials depending on normal load or sliding velocity.

Denture base materials need appropriate mechanical and tribological characteristics to endure different stresses inside the mouth. This study investigates the properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) reinforced with different low loading fractions (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 wt.%) of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles. HA nanoparticles with different loading fractions are homogenously dispersed in the PMMA matrix through mechanical mixing. The resulting density, Compressive Young’s modulus, compressive yield strength, ductility, fracture toughness, and hardness were evaluated experimentally; the friction coefficient and wear were estimated by rubbing the PMMA/HA nanocomposites against stainless steel and PMMA counterparts. A finite element model was built to determine the wear layer thickness and the stress distribution along the nanocomposite surfaces during the friction process. In addition, the wear mechanisms were elucidated via scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that increasing the concentration of HA nanoparticles increases the stiffness, compressive yield strength, toughness, ductility, and hardness of the PMMA nanocomposite. Moreover, tribological tests show that increasing the nanoparticle weight fraction considerably decreases the friction coefficient and wear loss.
