Abstract
Methods for determining the interfacial temperature of rubbing carbon steel bodies that simulate the behaviour of spinning rings and travellers are described. It is shown that the measured temperatures lie between the calculated bulk body temperature and the theoretical asperity surface temperature. These two calculated temperatures for a traveller are not very different, and consequently the measured temperature does not differ very greatly from either of them. With this method of measurement, it is shown that there is a change in the mode of wear when the interfacial temperature of the traveller exceeds 310–320°C.
