Abstract
The influence of materials and surface topography on static and dynamic coefficients of friction was experimentally investigated in a test apparatus under boundary and mixed lubrication conditions. Specimen materials were gray iron and silicon nitride Si3N4 of different surface topographies, sliding against chromium steel at a maximum Hertzian line contact pressure of 50 MPa. The lubricant was a standard mineral-based hydraulic fluid (ISO VG 68) held at +40°C or −28°C. The static and dynamic coefficients of friction under boundary lubrication conditions were both significantly reduced by the change from grey iron to silicon nitride as sliding material against Cr-steel, while the lowest static friction with Si3N4 was found for an intermediate surface roughness.
