Manganese Phosphate is an Industrial coating used to reduce friction and improve lubrication in sliding components. In this study, the tribology behavior of uncoated, manganese phosphate coated, Manganese Phosphate with oil lubricant AISI D2 steels was investigated. The Surface morphology of manganese phosphate coatings was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) .The wear tests were performed in a pin on disk apparatus as per ASTM G-99 Standard. The wear resistance of the coated steel were evaluated through pin on disc test using a sliding velocity of 0.35 m/s under normal load of 5 to35 N and controlled condition of temperature and humidity. The Coefficient of friction and wear loss were evaluated. Based on the results of the wear test, the manganese phosphate with lubricant exhibited the lowest average coefficient of friction 0.13 and the lowest wear loss 0.4 mm3under 35 N load.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to include investigation on extreme pressure lubrication behaviour of Al2O3 nanoparticles suspended in SAE20W40 lubricating oil. Effects of nanoparticles size (40-80 nm) and its concentration (0-1 per cent) on the coefficient of friction is studied using pin-on-disc tribotester. Design/methodology/approach – Taguchi technique is used to optimize the process parameters for lower coefficient of friction. L18 orthogonal array involving six levels for one factor and three levels for remaining three factors is selected for the experimentation. The parameters selected for the study are sliding speed, normal load, nanoparticles size and its concentration in base oil. Findings – It has been found that the presence of nanoparticles in proper concentration shows excellent tribological improvement in frictional characteristics compared to the base oil. The optimal combination of the parameters for minimum coefficient of friction is found to be 0.8 per cent concentration of 60 nm sized Al2O3 nanoparticles, 1,200 rpm sliding speed and 160 N of normal load. The mechanism of friction reduction in presence of nanoparticles is investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Originality/value – This is the original work.

Influence of surface roughness on coefficient of friction of Titanium coated R19 Steel is investigated in this paper using Pin on Disc Apparatus. Wear properties of R19 Steel are evaluated because it is widely used in making the rail wheel and rail roads over the years. Titanium coating of 100nm thickness was deposited on the R19 Steel by Electron Beam Gun Physical Vapor Deposition method. Wear and friction parameters were evaluated using Pin on Disc apparatus. The Surface morphology plays an important role in affecting the wear rate. Non-contact surface roughness tester was used to examine the surface texture and measure the surface roughness of the specimens. The test was carried out in a pin on disc apparatus for Normal Load of 15N, Sliding Velocity of 3m/s and Time 5 min. The texture and the roughness parameters of the surface affect the coefficient of friction. The experimental values of roughness parameters of uncoated and coated disc and its effect on coefficient of friction are compared and validated. Results show that the Coefficient of friction decreases with lower value of Ra. Lower values of frictional force and coefficient of friction results in lower wear rates.

In this study, the composites with incorporation betel nut powder at three levels (10, 18 and 25%) in Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) matrices having Kevlar Fibres (KF) and Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) nano particles in fixed amounts are looked into for their tribological characteristics. The effect of hardness, surface roughness and density was evaluated. FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies have been carried out to identify the phases. The effects of load on the slide wear loss and coefficient of friction of the composites were determined using Pin on Disc set up. The wear test pertaining to the betel nut bearing (BNP) composites were compared with those of betel nut free ones i.e. PC/ABS/KF/MoS2. The results revealed that with increase in load, the wear loss increases. Further with increase in betel nut powder concentration from 10% to 25% there is a decrease in wear loss as well as coefficient of friction. The surface morphology of the worn surface were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) which revealed higher plastic deformation, debris formation and furrowing in BNP free systems compared to betel nut bearing ones.

The experimental investigation of reciprocating motion between the aluminum doped crumb rubber /epoxy composite and the steel ball has been carried out under Reciprocating Friction Tester, TR-282 to study the wear and coefficient of frictions using different normal loads (0.4Kg, 0.7Kgand1Kg), differentfrequencies (10Hz, 25Hz and 40Hz).The wear is a function of normal load, reciprocating frequency, reciprocating duration and the composition of the material. The percentage of aluminum presents in the composite changesbut the other components remain the same.The four types of composites are fabricated by compression molding process having 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% Al. The effect of different parameters such as normal load, reciprocating frequency and percentage of aluminum has been studied. It is observed that the wear and coefficient of friction is influenced by the parameters. The tendency of wear goes on decreasing with the increase of normal load and it is minimum for a composite having 10%aluminum at a normal load of 0.7Kg and then goes on increasing at higher loads for all types of composite due to the adhesive nature of the composite. The coefficient of friction goes on decreasing with increasing normal loads due to the formation of thin film as an effect of heat generation with normal load.

On a Pin-on-Disc test rig with composite disc and steel pin tribological experiments were done on pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites plates. The wear and frictional behavior strongly depends on the structure. Also the normal load plays an important role in the frictional behavior, which is of greater importance than the speed. The formation of a thin polymer film onto the wear track results in a lowering of the coefficient of friction with 20%.

Abstract The results of two-dimensional approach using real variable method to Hertz’s problem of contact of elastic bodies are presented. Both normal and tangential loads are assumed to be distributed in Hertzian fashion over the area of contact. The magnitude of the intensity of the tangential load is assumed to be linearly proportional to that of the normal load when sliding motion of the body is impending. The stresses in the elastic body due to the application of these loads on its boundary are presented in closed form for both plane-stress and plane-strain cases. A numerical value of f = 1/3 is assumed for the linear proportionality (coefficient of friction) between the tangential and normal loads in order that the distribution of stresses may be illustrated. The significance of the stress distribution, across the contact area and in the body, is also discussed. It is shown that when the combination of loads considered in the paper are applied at the contact area of bodies in contact the maximum shearing stress may be at the surface instead of beneath the surface. For example, for plane strain, if the coefficient of friction is f = 1/3, the maximum shearing stress is at the surface and is 43 per cent larger than the maximum shearing stress, which would be below the surface, that occurs when the normal force acts alone. The effect of range of normal stress and of shearing stress on the plane of maximum shear and on the plane of maximum octahedral shear on failure by progressive fracture (fatigue) is discussed.

This study investigates the effect of normal load on the frictional properties of palm kernel activated carbon-epoxy (PKAC-E) composite. The PKAC-E composite specimen was fabricated by hot compression molding method. The dry sliding test was performed by using a pin-on-disc tribometer at various normal loads, range from 5 – 100N. The sliding speed and distance were constant. All tests were performed at room temperature. It was found that the coefficient of friction decreases with normal load, though at 60N, friction coefficient increases slightly and remains almost invariant at about 0.04 with normal load. The main conclusion of this study is that PKAC-E composite has a potential for tribological material application but only limited at low normal load under unlubricated conditions.
