THE PHENOMENON OF TRANSFERRING MATERIAL IN THE COMBINATION OF EXPANDED GRAPHITE–STEEL
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2015, Vol 262, Issue 4
Abstract
A phenomenon closely related to cooperation tribological pair of graphite-metal is the transmission of the material. A large number of physical and chemical factors affecting the transfer of graphite cause the lack of theory describing this phenomenon. It also is difficult to determine which of the elementary frictions dominates under certain conditions. The aim of this article is to identify the relocation of the material in the combination tribological pair of expanded graphite-steel under the selected conditions. Research was carried out on post-ball-ring tester. A steel ball moved with a reciprocating motion over the surface of the sample (ring) of the expanded graphite. Tests were carried out in dry and wet (total immersion association in water) conditions. The evaluation of the surface of the ball and ring were conducted using optical microscopy (metallographic manual Zaiss). The surface of the balls, both in dry and after immersion associations in water, formed a layer of graphite. The exterior layer formed varied with the operating conditions of association; the layer formed in water was thinner than the layer formed in dry working conditions. The formed layer has a clearly layered structure. On the surface of the balls, cracks were found and the mechanism needs to be clarified. Wear products, which are products of reactions and removed from the workplace, had a beneficial role in this case, under appropriate conditions. There is a need to understand the mechanism of the formation of the layer and the layer forming conditions with optimal properties.
