They have only recently been shown to be driven by repetitive cycles of energy build-up due to micro-plastic deformation and energy release through recrystallization and recovery, which results in the formation of equiaxed and elongated ferrite grains, as well as lenticular carbides. These features develop within the bearing subsurface from DER to WEBs during bearing operation at moderate to high loads, but little evidence has been presented in the literature to understand links between DER and WEBs and the nucleation and growth of subsurface cracks. This investigation examines WEBs, including low angle bands (LABs) and high angle bands (HABs), in detail especially focusing on their late stages to understand such links. A number of techniques, including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) have been used to examine the features involved. Analysis on WEBs obtained through serial sectioning has revealed that voids initiating at the interface between lenticular carbides and equiaxed ferrite grain bands within WEBs have led to crack formation which can subsequently propagate to bearing surfaces. Interactions between WEBs and non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) are observed to lead to de-bonding of inclusions from their surrounding microstructure and void formation, which has also found to influence the integrity of the bearings at late stages. Alumina and Manganese sulphide (MnS) inclusions are the mostly observed NMIs that de-bond and develop microcracks when interacting with WEBs. These findings thus provide important insights into the link between inclusions and crack initiation and represent a further step towards a fundamental understanding of the rolling contact fatigue process.","PeriodicalId":23314,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Online","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135809050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous researches tend to explain the phenomena from chemical and qualitative viewpoints, thus physical viewpoint approaches with quantitative evidence are necessary to complement the previous research works. Studies were done to estimate the thickness of adsorbed water layers in recent years to obtain quantitative evidence of the effect of adsorbed water layers. It was found that the thickness of the adsorbed water layer derived from atmospheric humidity could provide physical influences on sliding phenomena. The hypothesis in this study based on the Stribeck curve is; the friction coefficient may decrease significantly with the increase of sliding speed at high relative humidity (RH) compared to low RH. To verify the hypothesis, a pair of JIS SUS304 austenitic stainless steel balls were scratched against each other horizontally with a vertical overlapping distance of 80 µm at sliding speeds of 20, 200, and 2000 µm·s−1 in RH of 5, 55, and 95%. The experimental results supported the hypothesis as the friction coefficient for medium to high RH decreased significantly with increasing sliding speed while the friction coefficient decreases slightly at low RH. The friction coefficient decreases significantly at high sliding speed and RH.

The technology has undeniably minimized the manufacturing cost as well as the adverse impacts towards the environment and health of operators. However, the ability of the small droplets of lubricant oil to penetrate the cutting zone must be investigated to enhance the machining performance. The penetration ability can be predicted if the amount of lubricant oil adhered to the workpiece is known. Nonetheless, observing the lubricant behavior is commonly challenged by the existing tools during the machining process. Therefore, a non-intrusive technique must be applied to conscientiously observe the lubricant behavior. In this paper, the thickness of lubricant oil resulted by the droplets accumulation on the workpiece during MQL milling process was measured using a Laser-Induced Fluorescence technique to predict the lubricating effects of the lubricant. The surface roughness of workpiece was also measured to investigate how the thickness of lubricant oil affects the machining performance. Experiments were conducted for MQL milling process of aluminium alloy 6061 under constant value of cutting speed and increasing value of lubricant flow rates. The MQL nozzle was tilted 45°, directed perpendicular to the milling direction and fixed together with the cutting tool to let them move together throughout the milling path. Results analysis was performed on the sample whose cutting tool was halfway to the milling path. As a result, the average lubricant oil film thickness was found to increase and obviously fluctuate with increasing flow rates, ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.7 mm. A careful observation of the lubricant oil thickness near the location of cutting tool also suggested that the droplets of lubricant oil probably struggle to penetrate the cutting zone due to the sudden falls at those locations. Furthermore, the correlation between the thickness of lubricant oil film to the performance of milling process under the MQL spraying condition was successfully made since the results trending of the surface roughness of workpiece shows a well agreement with the trending of lubricant oil film thickness.","PeriodicalId":23314,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Online","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135809043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
