Abstract
The discrete element method was used to simulate the friction process of copper-based graphite composite materials in order to analyze the influence of pore structure on the solid lubricants migration in metal-based self-lubricating materials. And the near-surface pore volume evolution was considered in the simulation. The simulation results showed that the graphite particle motion depth and the migration channel increased gradually and tended to stable during friction. The near-surface pore structure has an important influence on the graphite migration and the tribological properties of the composite: the larger the migration channel was, the greater the graphite migration speed was; with the increase in migration channel, the graphite average critical migration depth decreased first then increased, the number of the film-forming particles first increased and then decreased; the greater the migration channel volume was, the more worn particles number were. The numerical simulation was confirmed by experimental analysis on a self-made in-situ observation tribometer, the experimental results were consistent with the numerical simulation results.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering Tribology publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from academia and industry worldwide on the engineering science associated with tribology and its applications.
"I am proud to say that I have been part of the tribology research community for almost 20 years. That community has always seemed to me to be highly active, progressive, and closely knit. The conferences are well attended and are characterised by a warmth and friendliness that transcends national boundaries. I see Part J as being an important part of that community, giving us an outlet to publish and promote our scholarly activities. I very much look forward to my term of office as editor of your Journal. I hope you will continue to submit papers, help out with reviewing, and most importantly to read and talk about the work you will find there." Professor Rob Dwyer-Joyce, Sheffield University, UK
