Wear Model of Sliding Rough Surfaces

Abstract

Purpose of research.To develop a wear model that takes into account the quality parameters of the surface layer and friction conditions, which will allow, through controlled technological action, providing the required wear intensity of friction surfaces.Methods.Electromechanical processing, in particular, can provide the required intensity of friction surfaces wear being carried out in finishing and strengthening modes.An increase in wear resistance, endurance limit and other operational properties, and at the same time a change in the physical, mechanical and geometric parameters of the surface layer of parts is achieved by a combination of thermal and force influences on the surface of the processed part. To achieve this effect, an original installation has been developed, which includes a device for machining based on a universal machine with a set of necessary tools and devices for fixing a workpiece and supplying coolant and electric current of high power and low voltage, as well as an industrial electric current converter and control units for processing modes, switching devices and computers.Results.An approach to the representation of the nature of friction and wear has been proposed. Based on the proposed wear model, which takes into account the quality parameters of the surface layer and friction conditions, it is possible to provide the required wear intensity of friction surfaces through controlled technological action.The developed wear model, which takes into account the quality parameters of the surface layer and friction conditions, makes it possible to provide the required wear intensity of friction surfaces through controlled technological action.Conclusion.The calculated data obtained with the help of the developed model and the data obtained experimentally will find practical application in creating resource-saving processes for processing metal alloys and composite materials.
