Investigation of load effects and temperatures on rate of wear using brass and carbon steel materials

الملخص EN

The study was done to predict rates of wear which occurred as a result of friction process between a brass material and a carbon steel disc was rotated with speed equal to 675 r.

The wear rates were calculated for a dwell time equal to 30 minutes for each case of applied loads of 250g, 750g and 1250g.

This research investigated the effects of loads applications on the variation in temperatures which were taken place due to rubbing action at contact area that may play role in specifying the wear rates.

These results have indicated the style of wear rates expressed by volume and by weight that may be a guide for the designers when using those materials at similar friction conditions.
