ANALYSIS OF TRIBOLOGICAL WEAR IN BLOCK – ON RING CONTACT ON TRIBOLOGICAL TESTER T-05

Friction is one of the most common phenomena in this technique. The friction process in the tribography systems causes both energy losses and consumption process losses. The layer of the surface of a solid body differing from the material to the entire volume of the solid is a close participant in the tribological process. The effects of external influences during treatment of the material and in friction processes were established and modified. The well-shaped layer of the surface provided optimum tribological properties during operation. This work provides an analysis of the use of a tribological pair working in a rotational movement, in different operating conditions. The tests carried out showed the impact of the selected exploitation factors, that is, the speed and load, the consumption and the friction coefficient of the saliva and the graphical interpretation of results from the results obtained from experimental and metallographical studies. The tests carried out in the block-on ring position of the T-05 tribology was the nature of preliminary tests. Preliminary tests enabled the effects of designated performance parameters to be determined on selected tribological properties. Low-carbon steel used for heat-chemical treatment and steel with DLC coating was used for the test. Metallographic studies enabled the dominant use mechanism to be determined, depending on external factors. The application of the above-mentioned value for materials currently used in various types of constructions allows for extending the life of a given device without major financial and constructional costs. A wide range of applications can bring many benefits to the current design solutions, in which the efficiency of the entire device can be easily improved
