Abstract EN
Current work was simulated for sliding wear interaction of materials of fuel bundle bearing pad (zircaloy-4) and magazine rotor tube (AISI 304 stainless steel) of Indian Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs).
A plan of experiments, based on the techniques of Taguchi, was performed.
The objective was to establish a correlation between load and sliding speed with the volume loss and coefficient of friction (COF).
These correlations were obtained by multiple linear regressions.
The treatment of the experimental results is based on the analysis average and the analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Worn surface analyses carried out using SEM and wear mechanisms were identified.
ANOVA analysis indicated that load factor has a great influence on the coefficient of friction (~73%).
COF suddenly increases to high value after a particular contact pressure due to absence of lubricating film and increase in metal to metal contact.
Volume loss of AISI 304 stainless steel and zircaloy-4 is highly affected due to load (~90%) and speed (~65%), respectively.
Worn surfaces exhibited deformation, adherence, and compaction of material at all PV conditions.
Contact pressures above 475 MPa indicated formation of ratcheting mechanisms and formation of fatigue striation marks.
Due to low yield strength of AISI 304 SS, volume loss was on higher side than that of Zr-4.
