Abstract

Modern trends in using materials for drive applications encourage new research and solutions based on green materials. To expand the use of these materials in specific industrial environments, it is essential to understand their properties, which are determined through basic laboratory tests that simulate the product's real operation. Evaluating the performance of these materials on test specimens and real parts, such as gears, will enable precise optimization for specific applications. This paper presents systematic fatigue and wear characterization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with 30% birch natural wood fibers for selected gear pair cases. The results showed that using the material in combination with a drive steel gear is more desirable than using the same material in a gear pair. The calculated wear coefficient of the biobased composite is comparable to numerical values of wear coefficients for engineering polymer materials.

疲劳磨损下生物复合材料齿轮的性能评价：钢制齿轮与生物复合材料齿轮、生物复合材料齿轮与生物复合材料齿轮

在驱动应用中使用材料的现代趋势鼓励基于绿色材料的新研究和解决方案。为了扩大这些材料在特定工业环境中的使用，有必要了解它们的特性，这些特性是通过模拟产品实际操作的基本实验室测试确定的。评估这些材料在试样和实际零件（如齿轮）上的性能，将能够针对特定应用进行精确优化。本文介绍了选用30%桦木天然纤维增强高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）齿轮副箱的系统疲劳和磨损特性。结果表明，将该材料与驱动钢齿轮组合使用比在齿轮副中使用相同材料更可取。计算得到的生物基复合材料的磨损系数与工程高分子材料的磨损系数数值相当。
