Due to the increased use of power caused by industrial development, the importance of improving wear and friction in the contact region has emerged. Except for some parts, such as brakes or clutches and friction, seals and precision mechanical parts (e.g., pistons, bearings, valves, and cams) are important engine components that require low friction characteristics. In this study, the experimental method used to determine the friction characteristics was based on the type of rpm with the pin-on-disc test device, the element analysis program ANSYS was used to analyze the surfaces of the two metals rubbing together, and physical formation FEM models were used to study the properties and wear. The friction coefficient of variation was unsafe, but at the start of wear, it converged to a stable friction coefficient that increased after a certain slip away.

Many lubricated systems experience boundary lubrication condition during operation. However, the friction and wear characteristics of boundary lubrication are not clearly understood. In this work the factors which affect the friction and wear between boundary lubricated metallic surfaces are investigated. Experiments were performed using a pin-on-disk type tester with pure aluminum, pure copper, and SM45C steel as the disk material and steel, stainless steel and bearing ball as the ball. The experimental conditions were determined according to the Taguchi experimental method. From the experimental results, the major factors that influence the friction and wear characteristics of boundary lubrication could be identified.

Friction characteristics of the brake friction materials without environmentally regulated ingredients were examined to find their role in the brake performance. Five friction materials were produced based on a nearcommercial formulation by changing the relative amount of potentially hazardous ingredients to health and environment, such as $Sb_2S_3$, potassium titanate, and brass fiber. Tribological properties of the friction materials were obtained using a scale dynamometer and Krauss type tribometer. Results showed that the excluded three ingredients played important synergetic effects on tribological properties in terms of fade resistance, wear resistance and friction effectiveness. In particular, brass fibers played important roles in the friction stability by providing excellent thermal diffusivity at the friction interface. Potassium titanate whiskers showed excellent fade resistance and wear resistance compared to the substituted barite. Antimony trisulfide, on the other hand, showed little effect on the high temperature fade resistance and wear resistance, while it increased friction effectiveness at moderate temperatures. The friction materials without the three ingredients showed severe fade, indicating antisynergy effects.

phase lubrication can be used as an alterative lubrication method to overcome the demerits of liquid and solid lubrications. In this work, the tribological characteristics of metals are investigated under vapor phase lubrication. It was found that the friction coefficient and wear volume can be controlled efficiently by the amount of vapor phase lubricant delivered to the sliding interface. The friction coefficient could be reduced to about 0.1 under vapor lubrication. Also, depending on the amount of vapor lubrication delivered to the system, the width of the wear track could be varied between 50 to 250 Um. It is shown that vapor phase lubrication mechanism is very effective to control the friction and wear phenomena without the use of excessive oil.

Nuclear fuels are always exposed to hot temperature and high speed coolant flow during the reactor operation. Thus the fuel rod accompanies small amplitude vibration due to the turbulent flow. The random vibration causes friction between the fuel rod and the grid structure which provides the lateral supports. The friction is critical to the fuel rod fretting wear, and it degrades fuel performance when a severe wear is developed. LuGre friction model is introduced in the paper, and the performance was evaluated comparing to the classical Coulomb model. It is shown that the developed friction force considering the Coulomb friction is not enough to stop or delay the motion while the stick-slip can be simulated using LuGre friction model. Numerical solutions of the two dimensional spacer grid cell model with the modern friction are also reviewed, and it is discussed that the new friction model simulates well the nonlinear mechanism.

In this work the friction and wear characteristics of the gray cast iron surface processed by broaching method, which is widely used in the machinery industry, were investigated. The broaching process is mainly used for mass production because it has high dimensional accuracy and processing speed, but the defects on surface can be easily generated. In order to improve the tribological characteristics, the approach was to reduce the roughness and hardness of the surface by adding a machining process to the broaching specimen. The secondary machining process using abrasive grains produces low roughness and hardness than broaching because it has high tool accuracy and removes the work hardened surface. The friction coefficient and the wear rate were assessed using a reciprocating-type tribotester to analyze the effects of surface finishing on the tribological properties. The friction tests were conducted under dry and lubricated conditions. The test results showed that the reduction of surface roughness and hardness through secondary machining process in lubricated condition improved the friction and wear characteristics. The reason why the same results did not appear in a dry condition was that wear occurred more rapidly than in lubricated condition. Thus, the positive effect of roughness and hardness of the surface obtained through the secondary machining process was not observed.

The tribological role of copper alloy fine particles in an additive is not well known compared to solid lubricants such as $MoS_{2}$ and PTFE. In this experimental investigation, a series of friction and wear test was undertaken to gain a better understanding of an additive containing copper alloy fine particles and to identify the effectiveness of copper alloy particles in improving tribological performance of the lubricant. Friction and wear of specimens under lubricated contact condition were studied and the worn surfaces were characterized by AES (Auger Electron Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and optical microscopy. It was revealed that a copper-contained layer was formed and this layer resulted in considerable reduction in both friction and wear due to its lubricity and anti-wear property. The analysis of worn surface revealed that copper of the fine alloy particles in the additive helps healing the worn surface by plating and filling wear pits.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the characteristics of the friction and wear according to the amount of ion-irradiation for the carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP). Unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced composites were fabricated with epoxy resin as a matrix and carbon fiber as a reinforcement, and its surface was modified by the ion-assisted reaction. When the amount of ion-irradiation was $1{\times}10^{16}$ ions/$cm^2$, the friction coefficients of composites were about 0.1 and the wear mode was stable, whereas, the friction coefficient of non-treatment composites were about 0.16 and the wear mode was very unstable. But if the amount of ion-irradiation was $5{\times}10^{16}$ ions/$cm^2$, the friction coefficients were higher rather than that of $1{\times}10^{16}$ ions/$cm^2$. Consequently, the amount of ion-irradiation was not in proportion to the friction coefficients, and it was conformed that the optimal conditions would exist between broth of them.
