Abstract

The manufacturing industry is particularly concerned with degradation caused by friction, wear, and tribo-chemical reactions. The goal of this project is to model material degradation in the lab and investigate the details of degradation. For the experiments, AISI 304L stainless steel samples were employed. Wear tests were carried out using a linear reciprocatory test system and a pin on disc test system. Abrasive grooves in the sliding direction were present in all of the evaluated samples. The wear rate data for the dry sliding state are compared using the linear reciprocatory system and the pin on disc system. It was discovered that the samples had more pin wear on the disc than the linear reciprocatory test setup. Wear tests on samples using the Pin on Disc setup revealed more wear than those using the Linear Reciprocatory setup.
