NAME REFERENCE
Suchanek and Kuklik Methods to enhance the life of the component are based on
(2009) application 12 of wear resistant materials or formation of
hard, wear-resistant surface material. The wear rate of steels
depends on their chemical constituents and conventional
heat treatment as outlined
4) Heating: From -196 °C to room temperature at the rate of 0.5 to 1°C /min
• Surface engineering point of view, wear test is carried out to evaluate the
potential of using a certain surface engineering technology to reduce
wear for a specific application, and to investigate the effect of treatment
conditions (processing parameters) on the wear performance, so that
optimized surface treatment conditions can be realized. In a pin-on-disc
wear tester, a pin is loaded against a flat rotating disc specimen such that
a circular wear path is described by the machine. The machine can be
used to evaluate wear and friction properties of materials under pure
sliding conditions.
• Either disc or pin can serve as specimen, while the other as counter face.
Pin with various geometry can be used. A convenient way is to use ball of
commercially available materials such as bearing steel, tungsten carbide
or alumina (Al2O3) as counter face, so that the name of ball-on-disc is
used.
