The main objective of this optimization is to provide higher load capacity, to relatively minimize the maximum temperature of the pad and the friction torque. To this aim, we perform a 3D computational fluid dynamics model for convergent thrust bearing with individual angular sector shaped texturing with a flat bottom profile pad, by using ANSYS.

Moreover, the erosion characteristics of SLM-produced items have been documented relatively infrequently. In the current work, the erosion behavior of a heat-treated Al-Si-10% Mg alloy generated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been investigated. The samples were printed in three directions (horizontal (0o), vertical (90o), and inclined (45o) on the build platform using the Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) system (EOS M 290) machine. Al%Si-10%Mg samples were given treatment (T5, T6). Optical and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) were used to examine the microstructure under both printed and heat-treated conditions. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the alloy's elemental composition and compound production. The erosion test was executed in each of the three orientations, plus heat-treated samples and as-printed samples. The selected input parameters were impingement angle and flow velocity. The erosion rate was examined and contrasted across orientations for printed and heat-treated conditions to establish the best orientation. The post-eroded surface was analysed using SEM, EDS, and XRD to evaluate possible erosion processes. The key findings were: T5 heat-treated samples sustain well and have the least mass loss; Horizontal (0°) oriented samples undergo less erosion compared to other orientations; T6 heat-treated samples show maximum erosion on printed samples, and hence it is not recommended. T5 heat treatment is proven to be superior in providing high erosion resistance, followed by printed and T6 heat-treatment, respectively. The heat treatment effects are more significant than the orientation effects in determining the erosion resistance of the Al10SiMg alloy. The erosion mechanisms, such as ploughing, melting, and cratering, were identified.","PeriodicalId":23320,"journal":{"name":"Tribology in Industry","volume":"183 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998254","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}

The incorporation of nano-sized particles into lubricating oils has been reported to enhance these properties. Therefore, this study explores the impacts resulting from the incorporation of graphene, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT), and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) at a quantity of 0.04 grams into the SAE 5W-30 base oil. These nanoparticles were synthesized using a two-step method, resulting in nanolubricants. The addition of carbon-based nanomaterials increases the density and decreases the viscosity of the base lubricant. The flow of nanolubricants exhibits non-Newtonian shear thinning behavior during the test at elevated temperatures. The results of the four-ball tribo-tester test reveal the increase of Coefficient of Friction (CoF) values and the extent of wear scar area. Further, the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis was employed to observe the wear morphology of the nanolubricants on the SKF RB-12.7/G20W ball bearing. Its results indicate a prevalence of groove-type wear as compared to conventional lubricants.","PeriodicalId":23320,"journal":{"name":"Tribology in Industry","volume":"122 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999677","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}

The behaviors of cavitation bubbles occurred within the dimples were observed through the rotating glass plate. Three types of internal structures of dimples were tested: cylindrical, spherical and conical. The measurement results were simulated by using the Reynolds equation. In addition, applying the periodic condition, a single dimple was analyzed. As the results, in three types of dimples, the load-carrying capacity increased as the rotational speed increased. The cylindrical internal structure built up the largest pressure at the trailing edge of dimples, and consequently the largest load-carrying capacity. The frictional torque also increased with increasing the rotational speed in the dimpled bearings. However, the effect of the internal structure on the frictional torque was not significant. Analytical results showed that the pressure reached the maximum value at the trailing edge of the cylindrical internal structure. The conical and sphere internal structure had the maximum value slightly inside the trailing edge.","PeriodicalId":23320,"journal":{"name":"Tribology in Industry","volume":"4 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999819","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}

In this paper, an attempt has been made to detect the faults in the outer race of bearing using different ML algorithms. An experimental setup has been designed and fabricated to conduct experiments on healthy and faulty bearings and the vibration signals were captured. The captured vibration signals were directly employed as images for training the ML algorithms without the need for conducting the spectral analysis. Six machine learning algorithms, namely, Linear Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DTR), KNN Regression (KNNR), Random Forest Regression (RFR), Convolution Neural Network (CNN), Naive Bayes (NB) were separately applied to classify the location of defects within the outer race of the ball bearing. The accuracy table are used to find the best suitable algorithm for the predictions.
