THE METHOD OF TRIBOTESTING OF PVD COATED ELEMENTS IN OSCILLATORY MOTION AT HIGH TEMPERATURES
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2015, Vol 259, Issue 1
Abstract
The development of new types of coatings are realised by many scientific and technological centres in many countries. To evaluate the new solutions, researchers use various methods and various tribotesters. Consequently, the results obtained are incomparable. A barrier to the development of new technologies, especially surface modifications dedicated to work at high temperatures, is a lack of tribological test methods recognized worldwide. This paper presents a method for tribological evaluation of tribosystems with PVD/CVD coated elements, in oscillatory motion and at high temperatures (up to 900°C). The method is realised by using SRV Optimol Instruments Prüftechnik GmbH (Germany). The realised verification tests proved the correctness of the developed methodology.

THE REASONS FOR DIFFERENCES IN WEAR VOLUME IN POLYESTER OILS AND POLYESTER OILS/REFRIGERANT MIXTURES
Friction pairs of refrigeration compressors are always lubricated by an oil/refrigerant mixture. This paper presents the results of wear amounts after tribological tests of different polyester oils from the same viscosit...
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LUBRICANT AND STEEL SUBSTRATE – A CONCEPTUAL METHOD OF ANALYSIS
The paper demonstrates the methods for the analysis of the interaction between lubricant and steel substrate and presents the obtained results. The samples to be tested were commercially available greases as well as grea...
A THOROUGH COMPARISON OF MODEL OILS WITH A MINERAL, SYNTHETIC, WHITE AND NATURAL BASE
The aim of the work was to assess the possibilities of using natural and white oils as potential bases of gear oils. Four model gear oils were tested – with mineral, synthetic hydrocarbon (PAO), white, and natural (rapes...
STUDY OF FRETTING WEAR IN THE WHEEL-AXLE CLAMPED JOINT MODEL OF RAIL VEHICLES
Wheelsets are among the key components of a rail vehicle. Their task is to guide the vehicle on the track. Any damage or wear may lead to derailment and cause a crash that may cost lives of hundreds of people. Therefore,...
