Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation on the tribological behavior of titanium alloys under cryogenic lubrication. The main goal of the study is to reproduce of thermomechanical loading encountered during a cryogenic machining operation. A tribological characterization was performed on a designed tribology system that allows contact between parts and wear tests under different controlled environments (hot temperature, lubrication, cryogenic, humidity, ...). The experimental bench has been equipped with the cryogenic fluid routing in the friction zone. A detailed analysis of the surfaces damage of the samples was then carried out to highlight the effects of the loading conditions on the surface integrity. The friction coefficient and wear volume are deeply analyzed to identify physical phenomena governing dry and cryogenic contacts.
