Abstract: Instead of using the conventional oxidation theory to depict a disk’s wear rate as a function of contact temperature, the response surface method (RSM) is herein introduced to relieve the ...

Abstract: A gear-cam adaptor was used to investigate the effect of an extreme pressure (EP) additive in the base oil and roller’s surface roughness on the pitting life of a disk specimen under oil ...

Abstract: Wear behavior of AISI 1045 carbon steel has been studied on a washer-on-disk wear machine at bulk disks temperatures of 25°C and 200°C. An analytical approach to the temperature ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted using a gear-cam adapter to simulate line-contact lubrication and wear in a lubricant with various additive concentrations. In this study, the growth of an adsorption ...
