An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the reciprocating friction and wear characteristics of woven glass epoxy composites filled with Al particulate using a reciprocating friction and wear tester. The fiber weight fraction has been kept constant at 60 wt% and Al wt% is varied as 0, 5, 10, and 15%. The composite is fabricated in hand lay-up technique followed by light compression moulding. Friction and wear behavior under dry reciprocating condition has been presented as function of reciprocating distance keeping reciprocating frequency and normal load constant at 30 Hz and 1.0 Kg respectively. Composites having 5 and 10 wt% Al powder exhibit less friction and wear loss as compared to unfilled glass epoxy composite whereas 15 wt% Al filled glass epoxy composite reports highest friction and wear loss. An attempt has been made to observe the distribution of fiber and Al particles in the composite, and to correlate the wear behavior using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations.

The friction and wear characteristics of spike-tooth material (65Mn steel) of Spike-Tooth Harrow in a two-stage peanut harvester were studied in this paper. The friction and wear tests of pin and disc on 65 manganese steel were carried out on the tribometer, then the wear loss and the friction coefficient were studied. The wear loss of the pin was acquired by calculating the mass of the pin before and after the experiment using an electronic balance. According to the actual working environment of peanut spring-finger, four variable parameters are set up: load, speed, soil moisture and soil type. The friction and wear characteristics of pins were studied under different loads, speeds and different soil environments. After wearing, the worn surface of the material was observed by scanning microscope and the wear mechanism was studied. The experimental results show that the wear of the pin increases with the increase of load and decreases with the increase of rotational speed in the same rotation number. Especially in the case of the sandy soil with 20% in moisture, a maximum wear loss of the pin is achieved.

The friction and wear behavior of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites was investigated, which are reinforced with nanometer Al2O3 or nanometer TiO2 and blended with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in a fixed weight fraction of 10% and are prepared by heat compression moulding. The studies emphasized particularly on the nanometer Al2O3 filled PEEK composites. The tests were performed on a pin-on-disc test apparatus with a PEEK composite pin sliding against AISI 1020 carbon steel disc under dry friction conditions and were all carried out at room temperature. The worn surfaces of the PEEK composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that the above PEEK composites exhibited lower friction coefficient and wear rate in comparison with the mixture of PEEK with PTFE. The SEM micrographs of the worn surfaces indicated that the scratched and ploughed marks appeared on the wear scar of PEEK filled with PTFE, while the scuffing on the worn surfaces of nanometer Al2O3/PTFE/PEEK was obviously abated. The optimal content of nanometer Al2O3 in the filled PEEK composite should be recommended as 6.5 wt %. The friction behavior of the nanometer TiO2/PTFE/PEEK composites was far better than that of the nanometer Al2O3/PTFE/PEEK composites under the same test conditions and with the same content of nanometer compounds, which was perhaps due to much more strong synergistic effect between nanometer TiO2 and PTFE than that between nanometer Al2O3 and PTFE.

The friction and wear of the silicon carbide (SiC) and hot pressed silicon nitride (Si3N4) against zirconia (Y–TZP) sliding under dry friction and room temperature conditions were investigated with pin-on-disk tribometer at sliding speed of 0.56 m·s-1 and normal load of 50 N, 80 N and 120 N, respectively. It was found that, the coefficient of friction and wear rate are dependent on the test duration as well as the normal load. Through analyzing and comparing, the wear rates of the two frictional couples both are in the 10-6 mm3 (N·m)-1. Based on the variety regulation of the wear maps, the wear mechanisms of the two couples were analyzed. Between the two couples, the friction and wear characteristics of the SiC/ZrO2 couple are better than the Si3N4/ZrO2 couple’s.

The influence of DC steady magnetic field on dry-sliding Friction and wear characteristics of friction pair of high-speed steel (HSS) ring and 2Cr13 pin is studied by use of improved MPV-1500 type Friction and wear tester under normal temperature. Experiments show that, The wear loss of both HSS ring and 2Cr13 pin decreases gradually, along with the enhancement of the magnetic field intensity, under the load of 250N and the friction velocity of 0.6m/s; The phenomenon of negative wear loss appears to the HSS ring. The wear loss of the sample HSS ring keeps low comparing with that of the sample 2Cr13 stainless steel pin; The trend of friction coefficients decreases quickly and then slowly; Magnetic field can accelerate oxidization.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to carry out research on friction and wear behavior of pin-bushing with magnetorheological fluids (MRFs). Design/methodology/approach The oscillation friction characteristics of MRFs with a magnetic field are evaluated by a pin-bushing friction wear tester. The housing is adjusted to apply the magnetic field to MRFs. Experiments are carried out with and without a magnetic field, and the coefficient of friction and temperature on the contact interface are measured. The surfaces of the pin and bushing are also examined by a surface profilometer and an optical microscope before and after tests. The experiment results show a lower coefficient of friction is observed when a magnetic field is applied. Findings The temperature is lowest when grease is used. The case when a magnetic field is present shows the higher temperature. The coefficient of friction is higher than grease lubrication when an MRF is applied. The coefficient of friction of the pin-bushing is lowest with grease and highest when a magnetic field is present. The friction coefficient of grease and MRFs decreases as the load increases and remains stable after 3 kN is added. The roughness, surface profile and morphology of the pin show the best results when grease is used as compared with MRFs. Originality/value The tribology characteristic of pin-bushing with MRFs shows more deficiency than that with grease. Nevertheless, it is necessary to carry out the research on the friction and wear characteristics of a pin-bushing with MRFs, as it is expected to increase the load-carrying capacity when an MRF is applied to the pin-bush system. Better friction and wear characteristics could be achieved by enhancing the property of MRFs.

The paper assesses and compares the friction and wear behavior of SAE-AISI 1055 steel and brass (CuZn39Pb2) under dry sliding condition. The tribological behavior was investigated and compared by conducting two different experiments, the first experiment conducted on a CSM tribometer, and the second experiment was carried out on a test bench in horizontal lathe machine where device holder pin is fabricated and mounted on a test bench and a rotating disc, varying the normal load exert on the disc by the pin and the rotation speed of the disc. These tests consisted of measuring friction coefficient and wear loss of samples. Experiments are carried out in normal load 5-10 N, sliding speed 0.24-0.35 and 0.48 m/s. Variations of coefficient of friction during sliding at different initial surface roughness, normal load and sliding speed are investigated. Results show that the two alloys had different friction and wear behavior, for steel friction coefficient increase slowly with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. For brass friction coefficient decreases with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. On the other hand, it is also found that wear loss increase with sliding distance. Microscopic of worn surfaces for each alloy were carried out and compared.
