Lapping technology, which enables obtaining high dimensional and shape accuracy and high surface flatness, is one of the basic methods of finishing hard and brittle technical ceramics with a porous structure. This study analyzed the characteristics and wear value of an SLS-printed abrasive tool intended for single-sided lapping of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> technical ceramics. As earlier research demonstrated, introduction of a 3D printed lapping plate by selective laser sintering (SLS), leads to a significant development in the field of precision machining technology. This method showed not only efficient machining performance on oxide technical materials, but was also characterized by relatively low abrasive wear. Straightness errors were evaluated with the use of a least-squares method (LSQ) and minimum zone method based on control line rotation scheme (CLRS). The proposed model proved the experimental results by identifying a similar location of a higher contact density on the lapping tool, where this location is expected to be the one for bigger wear. Surface topography of the lapping tool depends on the tool wear intensity and as a consequence on its shape error. An SLS-printed lapping plate, by obtaining good technological effects, revealed its potential ability in machining hard and brittle technical ceramics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0043164824002801/pdfft?md5=6f52bf519199631cbcdb0835a27fa029&pid=1-s2.0-S0043164824002801-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141853677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that at 3 °C, the friction coefficient exhibits extreme sensitivity to changes in humidity, with a significant reduction as humidity increases. Simultaneously, the increase of humidity leads to the transition from adhesive wear to abrasive wear and fatigue wear. At room temperature (23 °C) and 43 °C, humidity has minimal impact on the friction coefficient; however, higher humidity promotes oxidation film formation on the friction surface leading to dominant oxidation wear. Notably, in low-humidity environments, temperatures at 3 °C and 43 °C cause severe brake pad wear. The severity is greater at 43 °C because the resin-based components within the brake pad material decompose at elevated temperatures. Under such circumstances, appropriately increased humidity helps mitigate brake pad wear rates.

In this approach, contact stress is extracted to calculate the interfacial heat flux for the subsequent thermomechanical coupling analysis. Meanwhile, based on the Achard wear model, the interfacial wear degradation under thermal conditions is simulated through ABAQUS subroutine UMESHMOTION with the help of arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) remeshing technique. Using the proposed method, the dynamic interaction between temperature, wear and contact stress is investigated, and the coupling mechanism between these factors is revealed.

The evolution of perforation erosion and the particle size distribution of quartz sand and ceramsite were analyzed in the experiment and a prediction model for perforation erosion under various fracturing parameters was established. Compared to ceramsite, quartz sand had the more significant effect on perforation erosion and the more serious particle abrasion and fragmentation under the same sand-passing quantity. Increasing the viscosity of the sand-carrying liquid slowed down perforation erosion and made the edge of perforation entrance more uniform. As the sand-passing quantity through the perforation increased, perforation erosion in the initial stage was concentrated at the perforation edge. Then, the inner wall of the perforation was also eroded, but the average erosion rate was reduced. A prediction model of perforation erosion considering multiple fracturing parameters was established based on the principle of fluid similarity.
