Cavitation erosion causes serious problems for hydraulic machinery. Selective laser melting (SLM), is a type of additive manufacturing that can produce metal parts directly and it has begun to be used in various industrial settings. However, the erosion properties of the SLM processed parts have only rarely been reported. The paper addresses the cavitation erosion behavior of AlSi10Mg samples fabricated...
Cavitation erosion causes serious problems for hydraulic machinery. This study focuses on the influence of surface topography on the cavitation erosion rate of AlSi10Mg using an ASTM G134 test rig. Polishing, grinding, turning, and laser texturing are employed to finish the surfaces. The obtained cavitation erosion rates are presented, and the surface topography, cross-section, and surface parameters...
Selective laser melting is an additive manufacturing technology that produces metal parts; 316L stainless steel is one of the most widely used material in the selective laser melting process. The tribology performance of selective laser melting processed parts is critically important for industrial applications but related studies are rare. In this study, friction and wear behaviors of 316L stainless...
Axial piston pumps are widely used under severe conditions because they are able to operate highly efficiently at high pressure and various ranges of speed. However, pump efficiency is relatively low at low speed because of insufficient lubrication. The contact between the port plate and cylinder barrel is critically important because insufficient lubrication from this pair causes rapid wear and high...
In addition to contaminants such as dirt, precipitation and leaves, iron oxides are constantly present on railway wheel and rail surfaces. Iron oxides potentially influences adhesion and wear between wheels and rails, which in turn affect railway operation, safety and maintenance. Surface roughness also has a large impact on wheel−rail adhesion and wear. Rolling−sliding tests were conducted on a typical...
