45 YEARS OF DELIBERATIONS ON THE THERMO-MECHANICAL INTERPRETATION OF FRICTION AND WEAR. PART II - THE MICROSCOPIC INTERPRETATION OF THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROCESS

摘要

In this second part, the pulse sources of heat, dependences among the intensive parameters of the friction process-temperature, unit pressures, friction velocity - and wear intensity, and some physical properties of the materials of solids in friction are presented. The flux densities are described in extensive quantities across the elementary surface dF of a nominal contact of solids. The thermodynamic criterion of galling is formulated, and the temperature characteristic of minimum wear and maximum resistance to wear is established. Minimum and maximum wear intensities and the specific work of wear are determined. It is proven that a temperature measured in a selected point of friction couple element does not uniquely characterise thermal processes in a tribological system. However, it does characterise the maximum gradient of temperatures measured in at least two points situated as close to a friction contact as possible. A method of determining unit real pressures is proposed. The presence of a cooling effect in the process of tribological wear is disclosed. Wear is interpreted as a disintegration of a solid caused by volumetric and superficial mechanical work. A system of new wear measures is suggested.
