Abstract
Friction-induced wear and noise affect the performance and lifespan of industrial components, yet models often address them separately. This study proposes a model linking wear volume, coefficient of friction (COF), and noise. Ball-on-disc tribometer tests on 6082 aluminum, UNS C38500 brass, and 304 stainless steel were conducted under various loads and speeds. Key findings reveal thermal expansion affects wear in aluminum but minimally impacts brass and steel. The aluminum-based equation also predicts noise for brass and steel, with errors under 10 % within 5–15 N loads and 0.21–0.63 m/s speeds, suggesting broader applicability. This model provides a simplified approach to linking friction, wear, and noise, offering potential improvements in wear monitoring and noise control for mechanical systems.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
