Chapter 5 The Role of Tribology in Engineering Materials

Tribology comprises the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion; that is, friction, lubrication and wear. Tribology is a vast and interdisciplinary subject, ranging from the fundamental physics of surface contact and adhesion to the application of advanced materials and lubricants to solve practical industrial friction and wear problems.

Motivation:
Most common forms of metal failure:
Corrosion Fatigue (cyclic loading) Wear (surface abrasion due to excessive friction or lack of lubrication) = TRIBOLOGY

What is Friction
Force tangential to the interface of two contacting bodies = Ff.
Dynamic and static Dynamic produces heat
Coefficient of friction s and d

Ff N
Normal Force
All photos and figures Copyright, Prentice Hall

Friction Force Assumptions: Ff independent of contact area, = constant


RJM, 9/16/06

More Complicated Models Exist:


Contact Mechanics
In actuality, as N increases, contact area increases, thereby affecting . is a nonlinear function of N. What else might vary with??

More Complicated Models Exist:

F = Fa + Fp + Fs + Fn

How to Measure ???


Do you want s or d??? For most stress analysis want s why??

RJM, 9/16/06

Good for measuring s. You should know how to derive this.

5.4 Definition of Surface Wear


Wear - Damage to a solid surface
involving progressive loss of material due to contact and relative motion with another surface. 13 types of wear!! Erosion Damage to a solid surface involving progressive loss of material due to mechanical interaction between that surface and a fluid, impinging liquid or solid particles. 5 kinds of erosion
