In this paper, we investigated the wear lift, wear rate, and its transition on the Hertz pressure. In the experiment, we used TiAlCrN coating deposited by the sputtering technique and ball diameter of 10mm, 7.94mm and 4.76mm for the various Hertz pressure. Ball-on-disk sliding tests wire performed under the unlubricated condition. As the diameter of a ball decreased, the failure load of TiAlCrN coating decreased. However, a good correlation was observed between the wear life and Hertz pressure, and all ball specimens showed the infinite wear life at about 450MPa. In measurement of wear rate, as the diameter of the ball inclosed, the wear transition appeared in bigger load. However, a good correlation was observed between the wear rate and Hertz pressure. The transition appeared in the range from 550MPa to 600MPa at all ball speimens.

13.56MHz를 사용하는 r.f.PACVD(Plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition)방법 으로 다층 다이아몬드상 카본(DLC)필름을 Si wafer기판 위에 합성하였다. 다층 DLC필름은 2.5$\mu$m두께의 순수한 DLC필름과 0.2$\mu$m두께의 Si이 함유된 Si-DLC필름으로 구성되었으 며, ball on disk type의 tribometer를 이용하여 대기 중에서 다층 DLC필름의 마모거동을 고 찰하였다. 표면층으로 합성된 Si-DLC필름내의 Si함량이 증가함에 따라 다층 DLC필름과 AISI52100 steel ball 사이에 0.1 이하의 낮은 마찰계수를 유지하는 기간이 증가하였다. 44,000cycle과 158,400cycle의 마모실험 후 측정된 다층 DLC필름의 마모율은 각각 $2.5\times10^{-8}\sim1.8\times10^{-7}\textrm{mm}^3$/rev.과 $7.1\times10^{-9}\sim1.8\times10^{-8}\textrm{mm}^3$/rev.로 나타났다. 158,400cycle의 마모실험 후 측정된 마모율은 내마모 특성이 우수한 DLC필름보다도 2배 정도 우수한 것으로 나타났 다. 마모시험에 의해 형성된 debris의 조성을 분석한 결과, 이런 낮은 마찰계수와 우수한 내 마모 특성은 steel ball의 wear 표면을 덮고 있는 Si oxide debris층의 형성에 따른 결과로 판단되었다. 또한, 이러한 steel ball의 wear scar표면에 형성된 debris층을 제거하여도, 새로 운 Si oxide debris층이 wear scar표면에 다시 생성되어 낮은 마찰계수를 유지하고 있었다.

In this paper, two kinds of windmill type motors which have a disk shape and a ring shape piezoelectric ceramics were studied. And characteristics of two models were compared with each others. A windmill type ultrasonic motor is composed of a stator, a rotor, and a ball bearing. The stator is made of a piezoelectric ceramics and two metals endcaps. When the piezoelectric ceramics vibrate, displacement of torsonal vibration appear at metal endcaps. The motor with 11.0[mm] diameter was studied by finite element analysis. The voltage of 100[V] was supplied at each model. Resonance frequency of 206.875[KHz] was obtained at the disk type, but ring type was 137.562[KHz]. The maximum torsonal displacement of $1.112[{\mu}m]$ was obtained at the disk type, but ring type was $1.698[{\mu}m]$.

Frictional characteristics of mesoporous $SiO_2$ thin films were evaluated with different pore sizes. The films were manufactured by sol-gel and self-assembly methods to have a porous structure. The pores on the surface may play as the outlet of wear particle and the storage of lubricant so that the surface interactions could be improved. The pores were exposed on the surface by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or plasma-etching after forming the porous films. The ball-on-disk tests with mesoporous $SiO_2$ thin films on glass specimen were conducted at sliding speed of 15 rpm and a load of 0.26 N. The results show considerable dependency of friction on pore size of mesoporous $SiO_2$ thin films. The friction coefficient decreased as increasing the pore size. CMP process was very useful to expose the pores on the surface.

Hydrogenated Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were prepared by the radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF PECVD) method on silicon substrates using methane $(CH_4)$ and hydrogen $(H_2)$ gas. The wear track on the DLC films was examined after the ball-on disk (BOD) measurement with a Raman mapping method. The BOD measurement of the DLC films was performed for 1 to 3 hours with a 1-hour step time. The sliding traces on the hydrogenated DLC film after the BOD measurement were also observed using an optical microscope. The surface roughness and cross-sectional images of the wear track were obtained using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The novel Raman mapping method effectively shows the graphitization of DLC films of $300{\mu}m\times300{\mu}m$ area according to the sliding time by G-peak positions (intensities) and $I_D/I_G$ ratios.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) films show very desirable surface interactions with high hardness, low friction coefficient, and good wear-resistance properties. The friction behavior of hydrogenated DLC film is dependent on tribological environment, especially surrounding temperature. In this work, the tribological behaviors of DLC (Diamond-like carbon) films, prepared by the radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) method, were studied in elevated temperatures. The ball-on-disk tests with DLC films on steel specimens were conducted at a sliding speed of 60 rpm, a load of 10N, and surrounding various temperatures of $25^{\circ}C,\;40^{\circ}C,\;55^{\circ}C\;and\;75^{\circ}C$. The results show considerable dependency of DLC tribological parameters on temperature. The friction coefficient decreased as the surrounding temperature increased. After tests the wear tracks of hydrogenated DLC film were analyzed by optical microscope, scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The surface roughness and 3-D images of wear track were also obtained by an atomic force microscope (AFM).

The experimental characterization of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is performed for the practical implementation of high-performance hard disk drive system. Firstly, the design concept of hydrodynamic bearing for the disk drive system is addressed including the herringbone grooved journal bearing, the spiral grooved thrust bearing, capillary seal design, and the viscous pumping of fluid. Secondly, the experimental evaluation is performed for the disk drive system in which the hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is implemented and its dynamic performances are compared with conventional ball-bearing spindle motor. The key parameters include NRRO(Non Repeatable Run-Out), disk dynamics, acoustics, and resultant PES (Position Error Signal). Finally, the external gyro-exciting test results including 200k CSS(Continuous Start-Stop) on three angular attitudes(0,90, 180 degree) are presented in order to verify the practical reliability of disk drive system subject to the gyro-motion of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor.

The $WS_2$ solid lubricant synthesized through the vapour phase transport method was coated on the commercial bearing steel (SUJ 2) substrate, and the tribological behaviour of the lubricant was investigated using a ball-on-disk type tester. The $WS_2$ powder was spray-coated at room temperature using compressed air, and the change of friction coefficient was examined in various conditions, i.e., specimen configuration, atmosphere (air and nitrogen), applied load and rotating speed. $WS_2$ coated ball and disk showed the optimum friction coefficient of 0.07 and wear life of 45,000 cycles in the nitrogen atmosphere under 0.3 kgf and 100 rpm, whereas relatively high coefficient of 0.13 and reduced wear life of 4,000 cycles were observed in air atmosphere. The effect of rotating speed on the friction coefficient was not observed both in nitrogen and in air atmospheres. This confirmed that the spray-coated $WS_2$ solid lubricant was effective in reducing the friction coefficient and improving wear life in nitrogen atmosphere, and the oxygen and moisture existing in air could seriously deteriorate the lubrication effect of $WS_2$ coating layer.

SMF9060 material is a Fe-based powder sintered alloy that is used for several automobile components such as Synchronize Hub, oil pump and transmission. These components are required excellent wear resistance and durability. In this study, we have performed a dry wear test at the ambient air and Ar gas conditions in the room temperature, and a lubricant wear test at the room temperature and engine oil temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. The amount of wear volume and coefficient friction are measured by a Profilometer and a Ball on disk type wear tester. The wear volume in Ar gas condition was a little higher than that in the ambient air condition. However the wear volume in the lubricant wear condition was much lower than in the dry wear condition. XRD analysis of the debris in Ar gas condition showed that the oxide film was not formed.

Multiple additives can help improve the performance of generally used lubricants. These additives include MoS2, cadmium, chloride, indium, sulfide, and phosphide, which are harmful to both humans and the environment. Thus, researchers in this industry have been trying to reduce the use of these additives by finding alternatives. Nanodiamonds are one of these candidates. Nanodiamond particles are very hard, chemically stable, and highly heat-conductive. This research involved uniformly dispersing nanodiamond particles in marine engine oils via a matrix synthesis method at various concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 wt). Friction and wear tests involved constant loads on ball-on-disk specimens, where the ball was AISI 51200 steel, the disk was AISI 1020 steel, and the sliding speed was 0.217 m/s. The lowest wear occurred at a suitable concentration of nanodiamonds (0.3 wt). However, excessive amounts of nanodiamonds caused them to act as abrasive debris because of their hardness, which increased the wear amount. The friction coefficient decreased as the nanodiamond concentration increased because their octagonal, almost spherical shape caused them to act as rolling contact elements between two surfaces.
