THE EFFECT OF THE SHAPE OF OIL POCKETS ON THE FRICTION FORCE

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 280, Issue 4

Abstract

Tests were carried out using a pin-on-disc tester under starved lubrication conditions. To achieve a conformal contact, a special construction was used with an adjustable counter sample. Textured surfaces with two dimple patterns (spiral an radial) and four shapes (circle, oval, triangle, and chevron) were tested. The contact area was lubricated with L-AN-46 oil. Before the tests, surface topographies of the discs were measured by a white light interferometer Talysurf CCI Lite. Tests showed that, in starved lubrication conditions, oil pocket shape and pattern affected the friction force.<br/><br/>
