Abstract
In this research, a model is proposed using piecewise fractal theory that considers abrasive and adhesive wear. The model demonstrated improved wear computation accuracy of a contact mechanical seal end face. The validity of the model was established by comparing the simulation results with experimental data and the conventional MB and Archard models. The loading effect and surface morphology parameters involved in wear were also investigated. Results show that severe wear occurs with increasing load ratio, large fractal dimensions, and a higher scale coefficient of the surface morphology. The findings offer a novel method for precisely calculating and projecting the amount of wear of a contact mechanical seal and predicting its wear behavior.
