Abstract

A white layer on a machined surface is often produced at abusive machining conditions. However, the effect of white layer on frictional and wear performance has received little attention. This study has shown that the existence of a turned white layer slightly decreases the coefficient of friction (COF), while a ground white layer significantly increases COF at dry conditions. At lubricated conditions, the turned white layer only slightly increases COF while the ground white layer slightly reduces it. The third body wear debris may act as solid lubricants leading to reduced friction.
