Tests are described in which a hard wedge is loaded against the periphery of a rotating disc of softer specimen material. The inward movement of the wedge, which occurs as the disc wears, is measured continuously during a test, as are the tangential (friction) and normal forces acting on the wedge. Five liquid lubricants are used in the tests. The wear results are explained in terms of a low cycle...
A slipline field model of a simplified burnishing process is used to derive equations for estimating the burnishing force, the depth of the burnished layer and the plastic strains in this layer. A detailed comparison is made between predicted and experimental results. An observation of considerable practical interest is the high quality surface finish (low surface roughness) which can be obtained...
A wear test is described in which the edge of a hard wedge is loaded against the periphery of a rotating disc of softer specimen material. The applied normal load is kept approximately constant during a test. As the test progresses and the disc diameter is reduced by the wear taking place the wedge moves radially inward. By measuring this inward movement during a test it is shown how the wear can...
Experiments are described in which a hard half-wedge, representing a scaled up model asperity, was indented into the horizontal surface of a relatively soft specimen with the specimen then moved in a direction parallel to its surface and normal to the wedge edge. Forces measured at the wedge-specimen interface are used to investigate the state of lubrication at the interface at all stages of the experiment,...
It is shown that the force which opposes the sliding of a hard relatively smooth surface over a softer surface can be explained as the force needed to push waves of plastically deformed material along the soft surface ahead of asperities on the hard surface. For rougher surfaces and/or poorer lubrication it is shown how the wave can be torn off or material removed by a chip formation process and wear...
