Friction and Wear with Surface Melting at High Sliding Speed and High Contact Pressure (2nd Report,A Melting Wear Analysis Based on the Non-Steady Heat Conduction Equation)

Abstract

A new melting wear analyzing method of the slider is proposed based on the non-steady heat conduction equation. The friction coefficients calculated with the theory agreed well with those reported by previous workers. The estimated values of the slider wear also agree well with those obtained experimentally. The melting wear analyzing method is confirmed to estimate the melting wear quantitatively from thermal properties of sliders. Based on the method, a practical selection method of slider material has been established.
