DEVICE FOR TESTING THE WEAR RESISTANCE OF MATERIALS FOR PARTS OF FOIL BEARINGS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2014, Vol 255, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents a tribological test device for testing the wear resistance of materials used in foil bearings used in microturbines operating in combined heat and power plants in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with low boiling fluids. The tribosystem consists of the stationary foil/block made of the tested material and ring rotating at the defined speed. The tribosystem can operate in continuous and cyclical modes in an environment typical for foil bearings, i.e. with the presence of low boiling fluid.

EFFECT OF SELECTED FILLERS ON THE COEFFICIENT OF STATIC FRICTION OF PTFE BASED COMPOSITES ON STEEL
Determination of frictional resistance, apart from durability, is a significant issue during the designing of sliding machine elements, especially these that work in reciprocating motion. Friction losses in these element...
Efektywność smarów plastycznych z napełniaczami w procesie głębszego tłoczenia blach stalowych
Własności tribologiczne wybranych stali konstrukcyjnych
Własności tribologiczne stali konstrukcyjnych odgrywają istotną rolę w ich przeróbce plastycznej. Mają one wpływ np. na zużycie walców hutniczych stosowanych do kształtowania z wyrobów na zimno i na gorąco. Jednakże świa...
