The purpose of this study was to develop effective methods for calculating the wear rate of these surfaces under alternating dynamic loads. In wear rate calculations of bearing parts, as a rule, Archard’s law is used since it has been verified in hydrodynamic friction testing of bearing steels. In the paper, based on this law, a direct step-by-step wear rate calculation method for rib-roller end contact at variable loads and sliding speeds is developed. According to it, normal force, sliding velocity, and contact oil film thickness are determined in bearing dynamic modeling, and the finite element method is used to calculate contact pressure fields. A multi-mass bearing dynamic model includes a contact friction model, which allows an adequate description of hydrodynamic contact behavior of solid bodies. Using the bearing life dependence on the oil film parameter and experimentally measured steel bearing wear rates, the dependence of wear coefficient on the oil film parameter is obtained. The direct calculation method involves many computations, which makes the influence of individual factors on wear rate non-obvious. In this regard, a method of wear rate calculation with averaged parameters is also proposed. Using these two methods, rib-roller end wear calculations for a double-row tapered roller bearing are implemented. The spherical shape of the roller end and conical, toroidal convex, and concave shapes of the rib are considered. Comparison of wear rates obtained by the two methods confirms the acceptable accuracy of calculations with averaged parameters. The results in particular demonstrate that a toroidal concave rib surface allows reducing the wear rate up to three times in comparison with the tapered surface.</p></div></div>","PeriodicalId":633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Friction and Wear","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4548948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reducing friction losses, wear of machines, emissions from internal combustion engines (ICEs), using environmental-friendly lubricants are just a small list of tribology’s opportunities to achieve sustainable development goals. Applications of tribology have gone far beyond the solution of purely technical problems, and so-called green tribology has begun to play a special role in public life in recent years. The use of polymers is one of the effective methods to achieve the goals of green tribology. These goals are closely related to the creative heritage of Vladimir Belyi in the tribology of polymers, in particular, studies of friction mass transfer. In continuation of his work, it is shown that nanofillers actively affect the behavior of polymer macromolecules during friction, the formation of transfer films and wear particles. Using PEEK-based composites as an example, the effectiveness of materials with nanosized and traditional additives is confirmed. Another direction of green tribology is the development of environmental-friendly lubricants. Currently, many countries are restricting the use of mineral oils in agriculture and forestry, encouraging the use of lubricating oils and fluids made from vegetable raw materials.

The models of formation of structures of nitrided layers are schematically illustrated including their behavior during friction and wear. It has been mentioned that the use of high energy ion implantation at an ion energy of about 18–26 keV due to the occurrence of the long-range effect provides formation of radiation defects of a crystalline structure at a depth comparable with the thickness of a nitrided layer allowing it to significantly intensify nitrogen diffusion as well as to block grain boundaries, which inhibit diffusion processes in them. It has been determined that while intensive plastic deformation of the surface layer improves diffusion intensity, still, it can be efficiently applied only in combination with high energy ion implantation. The results of comparative wear tests are exemplified by screw pump rotors operating under conditions of intensive friction wear.

It has been established that the effect of soil type on destruction and wear resistance ε is controlled by rheological-fatigue parameter <i>R</i><sub>f</sub>, which plays a leading role in the strength base of the wear mechanism of low-alloy steels. In the process of wear, residual tensile stresses of a plastic-destructive nature are formed on the working surface of the steel, the lowest value of which is observed after testing in sandy loam, and the highest in light clay. Consequently, the relaxation of stresses by the mechanisms of plastic deformation and destruction in sandy loam is more intense than in average loam and light clay. The following correlation has been established: the higher the level of residual stresses, the higher the rheological-fatigue parameter and wear resistance of steel. In the studied soil types, the leading role is played by stress relaxation mechanisms in the area of low-cycle fatigue. Therefore, the mechanical component of interaction with the soil is dominant in the formation of the structural-phase state of the surface layers of steels. The damage of low-alloy steels in soil is mixed and includes three main forms of abrasive wear: mechanical, mechanical fatigue, mechanochemical. In all studied soil types, the mechanical fatigue form of abrasive wear plays a leading role. Therefore, an increase in the wear resistance of low-alloy steels must first of all be associated with the elimination of active low-cycle fatigue phenomena on the wear surface. The formation of secondary structures during wear in the soil contributes to a decrease in the absorption of irreversible energy by the metal, and, consequently, to an increase in its wear resistance.</p></div></div>","PeriodicalId":633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Friction and Wear","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4838875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is clear that this is a tribute to the traditional logic of continuum mechanics.

In the proposed article, the author, having previously considered the general structural and energy patterns of the evolution of rubbing surfaces, comes to the concept of a critical volume of friction, which is adequate to the concept of equilibrium roughness. The author defines this volume as the volume of an elementary tribosystem. This volume within the framework of the model of the moving critical volume of friction is an elementary tribotransformer of energy. An elementary tribosystem is formed as an adaptive response of a deformed rigid body under friction, the smallest volume that has accumulated the potential energy of defects of extreme density. It has an internal equilibrium far from the state of initial equilibrium. Further, this volume evolves structurally with the constancy of its size. An attempt is made to physically model this critical equilibrium volume of friction. A model of ideal equilibrium of the volume of an atomically smooth surface within a certain elementary nominal friction area adequate to the volume of equilibrium roughness is considered. A method for calculating this critical and equilibrium friction volume is proposed. The principle of extrapolation of the equilibrium volume (oscillation amplitude) of an atomically rough surface to the temperature of absolute zero is substantiated.
