The methods to prevent or suppress the initial failure of the sliding surfaces by the formation of the protection film during the manufacturing process were studied. Now it has been known that the surface protection film which was formed during the running-in process is mainly $Fe_3O_4$ and its film was formed only at the limited oxygen ability during the lubricated sliding. So it was tried to form the same oxide film before the sliding by heat treatment at 300$\circ$C with the wetted specimen by oil. The results show that a thin oxide film ($Fe_3O_4$) was formed on the surface beneath the solid oil film and the specimen with this film has much better friction properties than those prepared with heat treatment at 500$\circ$C and 700$\circ$C or the original one.

보호피막을 입히는 방법으로는 화학증착법과 물리증착법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 고온 분위기에서 기체 상태인 반응물의 화학반응을 통하여 원하는 물질을 증착시키는 화학증착법은 물리증착법에 비해 점착성(adhesion)이 우수하고, 보호피막층의 성분조절이 용이하며, 반응물이 기체상태이므로 대량생산이 용이하여 보호피막 증착법으로 많이 사용되고 있다. $Si_3N_4$-TiC ceramic 표면에 TiC, TiN 및 Ti(C, N) coating을 함으로써 얻을 수 잇는 장점들은 표면층의 경도를 증가시키며, steel과의 마찰계수의 감소 및 coating 층 자체가 고온에서 고체 윤활제로 작용하여 마찰열의 상당한 감소를 얻을 수 있으며, 또한 coating층 자체가 비교적 안정한 화합물로 피삭재내의 성분원소들에 대한 diffusion barrier로 작용되며, 내식성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 각 증착층의 미소경도, 열충격저항, steel과의 마찰계수를 측정하였으며, 최종적으로 절삭시험을 통하여 증착층들의 내마모성을 조사, 규명하였다.

In this work, friction materials with three different formulations containing different amounts of the solid lubricants were investigated to study the role of lubricants on the friction performance. The three friction materials contained graphite 10 vol. %, graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol.%, and graphite 7 vol. % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. %, respectively, with the same amount of other ingredients. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique advantages and disadvantages. The friction materials containing graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol. % and graphite 7 % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. % showed better resistance to fading and improved friction stability compare to the friction materials containing graphite only as a lubricant. However, the friction materials with two lubricants (graphite + MoS$_2$ or $Sb_2S_3$) showed disadvantages on stick-slip phenomena, amplitude of torque, and rotor wear.

The operating torque and tribological characteristics of the cam/tappet system in an I.C. engine have an important effect on engine efficiency. In this paper, we measured the torque of cam/tappet system with respect to the oil temperature and camshaft speed to characterize the tribological behavior. Also, accelerated test was performed to analyze the wear characteristics of cam/tappet interface. The torque of the cam/tappet system decreased with respect to camshaft speed and was not significantly affected by the oil temperature. The results of accelerated test showed that the running-in wear occurred during the tests and the center of the tappet was mainly damaged by the rolling and sliding friction.

Lubrication and cooling characteristics are the most important factors of elevated temperature forging lubricants. Usually adopted lubricants in warm forging processes are graphite, synthetic and emulsion lubricants. Most widely and effectively applied lubricants are graphite lubricants, but these have a lot of problems like tool corrosion and dusty environment. In this research, boronite lubricant is considered, because it is able to substitute for graphite. Hot ring compression test, cooling test and mass production test are performed to check the validity of new lubrication pigment.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the friction characteristics of piston assembly. The friction of piston assembly is composed of ring pack and skirt friction. In this paper, the theoretical models of piston ring pack and piston skirt were presented. The mixed lubrication theory was considered to calculate friction force of piston ring and skirt. from the results, most of friction in piston assembly occurred at the piston ring park. The piston assembly usually showed hydrodynamic lubrication characteristics. but the top and bottom dead centers showed mixed lubrication characteristics. The piston skirt was much affected by radial clearance and load, but ring was significantly influenced by ring tension.

It is important to understand the friction characteristics between piston-ring assembly and cylinder wall for the friction loss reduction as well as the solution of problem such as scuffing wear and oil consumption. A new system was developed for the piston-ring assembly friction force measurement. This system was applied to the friction force measurement to find its functional relationship with variables such as engine speed, oil viscosity, and engine load. The friction mean effective pressure(fmep) was found to have a linear relationship with$(\vpsilon{U})^{0.42}$ under motering and with$(\vpsilon{U})^{0.45}$ under firing operations, where $\vpsilon$ is the kinematic oil viscosity and U is mean piston speed.

The joint method and characteristics of lubricant Impregnated MC nylon and metal are analyzed. Considering the productivity and economics, two materials are Joined with the process of turning, knurling, and induction heating. The Joint strength is determined by adhesion of the melted nylon, the size of knurl, and the interference from the difference of the diameters. The parameters affecting induction heating process are analyzed. The adhesion strength of the melted nylon is measured. Finally the joint strength is analyzed in the environments of low, room, and high temperature. The nylon/metal Joined material is expected to be widely used as the sliding machine elements with good friction and shear strength.

Recently, a high speed cutting is essential requirement to satisfy latest demand of high precision product and machining of hard materials. However heat generation by high speed rotation causes many problems. The machining error and shortening spindle lifetime by thermal stress is typical example. Generation of heat is mostly caused by sliding at the rotor and bearing. For minimization of heat generation at bearing, decision of the condition of proper lubrication is necessary. The thermal study about 40,000rpm spindle by changing the condition of oil-air lubrication method is carried out in this paper. The results of this paper can be used effectively in the decision of oil-air lubrication condition of other types of spindle for machine tools.

Because of excellent mechanical properties, such as good friction coefficient and heat resistance characteristics, PTFE parts have been widely used in the industries. However, the poor wear resistance of PTFE has been a main problem limiting wider applications. In this study, to improve the poor wear resistance of PTFE, porous PTFE composites were prepared by mixing additives(sodium bicarbonate and graphite) with PTFE powder. The friction coefficient, wear resistance and lubricating property of porous PTFE composites were measured and the results were compared with those of untreated PTFE.
