Determining Local Wear Equation Based on Friction and Wear Testing Using a Pin-on-Disk Scheme

摘要

Based on pin-on-disk friction and wear testing, the parameters of the wear rate as a function of sliding velocity and pressure with account for their distribution over the contact spot are computed. The parameters are compared to those obtained assuming a uniform distribution of velocities and pressures. It is assumed in the work that the contact spot does not vary, the disk does not wear out, and the study is carried out under steady-state wear conditions.
