In this paper, we propose a slurry jet (water containing $1\;{\mu}m$ alumina particles) impact test in order to quickly evaluate the wear properties of physical vapor deposited (PVD) coatings on commercial cutting tools. Linear wear was obtained for bothe coating and substrate material, and the penetration through the coating into the substrate was signified by a sharp increase in slope of the wear versus time curve. The PVD coatings deposited on the tools showed the same wear rates as those on reference plate specimens produced by the same coating methods. We conclude that our proposed evaluation technique for coatings is considerably useful as a screening test when evaluating coated tools like twist drills, taps, end mills, gear hobs, etc.

The main wearing slider of pantograph is a difference which is considerable to wear phenomenon according to material properties. Especially, Cu-type wearing slider suddenly occurs the abnormal wear by precipitation, this threatens the travelling safety of the train. The abnormal wear by precipitation and arc influences are main factor decided to life time of Cu-type wearing slider and contact wire. Consequently, the application of the main wearing slider with wear resisting capacity, electrical conductivity, resistance arc and lubrication is demanded. In this paper through tribologic approach, overcame abnormal phenomenon of the Cu-type wearing slider by the precipitation and for the economic efficient augmentation by durability improvement and the travelling safety were accomplished. The Cu-type wearing slider which has excellent electric conductivity and arc characteristic but it occurs the normal and abnormal wear phenomenon according the precipitation which changes, respectively. Consequently, this phenomenon grasps fixed quantity according to precipitation, a mileage and wear volume then Fe-type wearing slider compared and analyzed.

Cu, Si, Mg, Ca, Cd, Sn, Pb등이 첨가되는 Al계 bearing 합금은 베어링 특성이 우수하여 최근 자동차드의 엔진 부품용 베어링소재로 많이 사용되어지고 있다. 합금원소 Si는 합금의 경도를 향상시키며 Si-rich한 경한 입자를 생성시켜 소착저항력(antiseizure)을 향상시키며 또한 합금의 주조성도 향상시켜 내마모성이 요구되는 Al계 베어링 합금에 주합금원소로 첨가된다. 본 연구에서는 강제죠반법과 급냉응고법을 이용하여 Al-Pb-Gu계와 Al-Si-Gu-Pb계 베어링합금을 제조하였다. 베어링합금이 급냉응고법으로 제조되었기 때문에 합금의 기지에는 Cu가 과포된 상태로 존재하여 석출경화에 앞서 행하여지는 용체화처리와 같은 효과가 얻어졌다. 본 실험에서는 Cu가 과포화된 기지를 갖는 주조상태의 시료를 시효열처리하여 석출경화된 베어링합금을 얻어서 석출경화에 의한 기지강화가 베어링합금의 내마모성질에 어떠한 효과를 가져오는지 규명하였다.

고품위의 동력전달 장치와 같은 고정밀 기능 부품들은 보다 높은 비강도, 고경도, 내마모성 및 내식성을 가져야 하며, 특히 소재의 마찰, 마모 특성은 기아제품 등의 수명, 정밀도 및 에너지 손실을 좌우하는 것으로서 물성의 열화를 극복할 수 있는 소재의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 지난 수년동안 금속기지에 $Al_2O_3$나 SiC등의 보강재를 첨가하여 복합재의 응착 및 연삭마모에 대한 저항성을 향상시키는 시도를 하고 있다. 주로 제조비용이 낮고 거의 등방적인 성질을 가지며 가공성이 좋은 입자 보강 복합재료에 대한 연구가 지배적이었지만, 입자 보강 복합재료의 경우 강도 및 탄성계수의 향상 정도가 적다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분말야금법을 이용하여 금속기지에 세라믹상으로 SiC 입자 및 휘스커가 첨가된 복합재를 제조하여 제조공정변수에 따라 마모거동을 pin-on-disk 형태의 마모시험기에서 실험하였으며, 주사전자현미경으로 마모표면관찰 등으로 복합재의 마모기구를 연구하였다.

The use of microporous polymer lubricants (MPLs) can eliminate the storage, sealing, and pumping problems associated with liquid lubricants, This paper discusses the use of MPLs for a component as rolling-element bearings. An MPL composed of 40% HDPE and 60% ester oil was synthesized and the MPL was applied to a ball bearing. The MPL ball bearing, filled with the MPL instead of the usual grease pack, tested and compared with the usual grease sealed ball bearing. The MPL applied to a ball bearing showed lubricant properties as good as usual grease, and showed higher performance in bearing oil leakage test, rotating torque test and thermal test at high speed running than usual grease.

Polyol esters were synthesized by condensation reaction of polyols (PE and DIPE) and linear acids such as valeric acid, caproic acid, heptylic acid and caprylic acid. The structures of polyol esters were confirmed by gas chromatography. Hot tube test was used to measure thermal stability of polyol esters and its thermal properties depended on the structure of acid moiety contained in polyol esters.

In order to improve the fuel economy by design change of automatic transmission, various technologies such as increased shift stages, slip control of lock-up clutch and compact and low-weight design have been developed. And also many OEMs have developed their own ATFs as a part of these automatic transmissions. In this study. to investigate the effects of ATF characteristics on fuel economy, we got the worldwide OEM ATFs and made some reference fluids. And physical properties, frictional characteristics and fuel economy using dynamometer test for these fluids were evaluated. From the investigation, it was found that viscosities of ATFs are correlated with fuel economy in dynamometer test and reducing the viscosities made it possible to obtain fuel economy.

The life of rolling elements depends on various factors such as operating conditions and material properties. In this work, the effect of microstructure on the rolling behavior is investigated. Specially, the deformations in the substrate regions before and after rolling are compared. It is found that rolling action causes severe flow of material in the direction opposite to the rolling direction in the case of dry rolling direction. With lubrication, the deformation is more severe at the subsurface region rather than at the surface.

Surface treatment technologies are frequently used to improve mechanical properties of surface layers of machinery components in many practical situations. Surface hardness of piston in the oil hydraulic piston pumps is very important about wear resistance. To improve hardness, wear resistance of the oil hydraulic axial piston pump, it is needed to know the surface layer characteristics in the sliding contact parts. This paper reports an experimental study on surface treatment characteristics in the piston of the oil hydraulic axial piston pump. We investigated the surface wear of a piston between untreated and nitriding-treated surfaces. We obviously observed that the surface hardness of piston in the oil hydraulic axial piston pump plays an important role to have wear resistance and remain a longer life.

The most widely-used orthopaedic grade polymer bearing liner material, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), for the total joint arthroplasty degrades after gamma-irradiation sterilization through the progressive oxidation in a shelf and in vivo. Oxidative degradation makes UHMWPE brittle and leads to decrease in mechanical properties. In this study the relationship between post-gamma-irradiation aging time and wear of UHMWPE was investigated. Six retrieved polyethylene hip liners implanted for 3-16 years and then stored in air for 1.5-6.5 years until tests were used. Two types of pin-on-disk wear testing were conducted by the uni-directional repeat pass rotating and by the linear reciprocating stainless steel disks against stationary polyethylene pins under 4Mpa at 1Hz with bovine serum lubrication in ambient environment. Wear of retrieved polyethylene hip liners does not have direct correlation with in vivo or total aging time. Linear reciprocal sliding motion generated more remarkable wear than uni-directional repeat pass sliding motion. It indicates that kinematic motion affects very crucially on the wear of aged UHMWPE having brittle white band region.
