In the past, the dynamic behaviors of the machine tool load-bearing system have been analyzed by assuming that the worktable is in a specific position, and few models consider the effects of the ball circulation motion. To address this problem, this paper presents a five degree-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear dynamic model for the machine tool load-bearing system, taking into account the ball arrangement and carriage flexibility, which is used to predict the dynamic behaviors under both constant and excitation loads. Firstly, the relation between the contact load and the carriage flexibility is determined, and the contact load in the working phase is derived by homogeneous coordinate transformation. Secondly, the elastic release is discussed for different cases and the contact load in the transition phase is derived. Then, a nonlinear dynamic model for the machine tool load-bearing system is established by deriving the restoring loads and moments, and the validity of the proposed model is verified experimentally. Finally, the variation law of the nonlinear dynamic response for the machine tool load-bearing system is discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142050158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At 600 °C, the alloy exhibits strong resistance to oxidative wear, due to the formation of an intact oxide scale composed of Ni-Cr-O and Cr-rich layers. However, the oxide scale formed at 800 °C features a coarser grain structure, coupled with increased wear debris, leads to higher surface roughness and coefficient of friction. The oxide scale at 800 ℃ has poor effectiveness in protecting the substrate, being more prone to spallation and contributing to greater wear loss.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141993500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
