The friction and wear behavior of undulated surfaces made of tin base babbit are examined experimentally at the low sliding speed with severe loading condition. Steel is used as counterface disk material under pin-on-disk type sliding condition. Undulated surfaces can improve the friction and wear properties under dry friction condition since undulated surfaces trap wear particles in their cavities and prohibit wear particles from agglomerating. However, under boundary lubrication condition, friction and wear properties of undulated surfaces are inferior to those of flat surfaces. It is shown that land width and the ratio of wear volume to cavity volume are the most important factors in friction behavior of undulated surfaces under dry friction condition, and there exists optimum land width minimizing friction and wear of undulated surfaces.

An experimental study has been performed on thermal transport from an aluminum foam heat sink under a confined impinging air jet. Three kinds of aluminum foam heat sinks with 10, 20 and 40 PPI and a conventional pin-fin heat sink are tested in the present study. The jet Reynolds number is varied in the range of Re=667～5672 The effect of the confinement disk diameter and the distance between the confinement disk and the heater surface on the averaged Nusselt number is investigated in detail. The results are also compared with those of the unconfined impinging air jet. The critical distance, at which thermal performance shows a minimum compared to the unconfined jet impinging, will be described in terms of the Reynolds number and the pore density of the aluminum foam.

In this study, plasma source ion implantation was used to improve the wear properties of biocompatible titanium implant. In order to observe the effect of ion energy and dose on wear property of titanium implant, pin-on-disk type wear tests in Hank's solution were carried out. The friction coefficient of ion implanted specimens were increased from 0.47 to 0.65 under high energy and ion dose conditions. As increasing ion energy and ion dose, the amount of wear was reduced.

The wear characteristics of the gold alloy dental prosthesis have been investigated. The wear tests were performed by using a pin-on-disk wear tester at room temperature. Vickers hardness and fracture toughness measurement of dental materials were preformed. Microscopic observations on worn surfaces of specimens were conducted by microscope. The friction coefficient of the gold alloy dental prosthesis was investigated according to weight and slinging velocity. The hardness of the gold alloy dental prosthesis were similar and a half of the enamel of natural teeth.

In this study, the dynamic characteritics in various loading methods for wear tester were investigated experimentally. As for the dead-weight, the pneumatic, and the hydraulic method, the load control performance against external disturbances was estimated under the several loading conditions like the different sliding speed, the varied normal load, and the misaligument. The hydraulic loading method showed the most stable loading performance of all the loading methods in the experiment.

This paper presents tribological results of the screw materials, which include the conventional screw and newly developed one. The tribotreated screw is manufactured by applying the polymer power to the heat treated surface of the screw. The injection pressure which is developed between the screw and the cylinder has been applied to the rubbing surface of the specimen in a pin-on-disk wear tester. The measured results show that the friction coefficient and wear rate of a tribotreated screw are low compared to the conventional one.

Oil-based nanofluids were prepared by dispersing Ag, graphite and carbon black nanoparticles in lubricating oil. Agglomerated nanoparticles were dispersed evenly with a high-speed bead mill and/or ultrasonic homogenizer, and the surfaces of the nanoparticles were modified simultaneously with several dispersants. Their tribological behaviors were evaluated with a pin-on-disk, disk-on-disk and four-ball EP and wear tester. It is obvious that the optimal combination of nanoparticles, surfactants and surface modification process is very important for the dispersity of nanofluids, and it eventually affects the tribological properties as a controlling factor. Results indicate that a relatively larger size and higher concentration of nanoparticles lead to better load-carrying capacity. In contrast, the use of a smaller size and lower concentration of particles is recommended for reducing the friction coefficient of lubricating oil. Moreover, nanofluids with mixed nanoparticles of Ag and graphite are more suitable for the improvement of load-carrying capacity and antiwear properties.
