Abstract: Experimental investigation of the wear behavior of Magnesia Partially Stabilized Zirconia (Mg-PSZ) rubbed against itself showed that up to three orders of magnitude increase in the wear resistance ...

Abstract: The laser beam treatment of magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) sample surfaces has shown a considerable improvement in their wear resistance and surface hardness. The laser beam ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results of an experimental and theoretical investigation of wear of steel under forced oscillations of applied load in boundary lubricated sliding contact. A special ...

Abstract: This paper is the first of a series of two devoted to an investigation of wear mechanisms in ceramic/ceramic and ceramic/metal sliding contact tribological systems at high temperatures and ...

Abstract: The characteristics of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication by non-Newtonian fluids for rough surfaces is investigated theoretically. The general Reynolds equation for two-sided striated roughness ...

Abstract: Microcontact models, describing contact of two rough surfaces, are fundamental for the modeling of friction and wear. This paper presents a critical analysis of existing models and discusses ...

Abstract: It is shown that wear is an increasing function of system stiffness. The increase in the frequency of the applied load oscillations in normal direction causes increase of number of loading ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental data and a physical model of the effects of normal load and system rigidity on the friction and wear processes with water lubrication. The transition from mild ...

Abstract: Dry frictional contact between two metallic surfaces, one cast iron and the other steel, is analyzed. The experiments were conducted using a pin-on-disk setup instrumented with force and ...
