WEAR IN THE MICROSCALE OF CAST IRON PISTON RING/COMPOSITE CYLINDER LINER CONTACT
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2015, Vol 261, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents an attempt to explain the mechanism of wear in a contact cast iron piston ring/composite cylinder liner analysed at a microscale by using of lamellar model of a pearlite. For calculation of local stresses and strains levels in a pearlite, which constitutes the matrix of cast iron being in a contact with reinforcing fibres in a cylinder liner, a geometrical model was built and calculations using FEM were carried out. Stereological parameters of pearlite grains and fibres in a composite were used for the construction of the geometrical model. Local distributions of stresses and strains in cementite and ferrite lamellas have been acquired as a result of calculations carried out. Stresses calculated by using the simplified model (isotropic pearlite grains) are different from those calculated by using the enlarged model (cementite and ferrite lamellas in pearlite grains). These values allow one to explain the wear mechanism of the investigated contact.<br/><br/>

TRIBOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VEGETABLE OILS INTENDED FOR THE BASES OF HYDRAULIC OILS
The lubricating properties of vegetable oil bases in use for biodegradable hydraulic oils were tested and compared. Oil bases belonged to three different viscosity grades: VG 32, VG 46, and VG 68. The bases were formulat...
PROPERTIES OF ELECTRODEPOSITED Ni-Mo COATINGS
Mechanical and tribological properties of electrodeposited Ni-Mo coating were studied. Coatings of 30 μm thickness were deposited under different cathodic current densities 0.5–5 A/dm2 on steel disc substrates. Microhard...
MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF ROTATING SYSTEMS WITH GAS FOIL BEARINGS UNDER TRANSIENT OPERATING CONDITIONS
Gas foil bearings are on the cutting edge of bearing systems that spread worldwide. Although it is a common practice to apply such systems to high-speed fluid-flow machinery, their modelling and analysis still pose a num...
Badania właściwości adhezyjnych stali oraz tworzyw sztucznych w kontekście zastosowania ich na węzły tarcia

THE PROCEDURE OF BEARING SIZE SELECTION, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE SCATTER OF ROLLING CONTACT FATIGUE LIFE
This paper shows that the adjusted rating life equations, which are using in bearing size selection, do not take into consideration the scatter of rolling contact fatigue life. It is stated that the scatter of bearing li...
