The sliding wear behaviors of Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel rod were investigated using two support springs with convex and concave shapes in room temperature air and water. The main focus is to compare the wear behavior of various test variables such as slip amplitude, environment, contact contours with different spring shape and a number of cycles. The results indicated that wear volume and maximum wear depth increased with slip amplitude in both air and water, but their trends tended to change according to the spring shapes and test environments. In air condition, the wear volume was controlled by wear debris behavior generated on worn surface. As a result, final wear volume and maximum wear depth decreased if a ratio of protruded wear volume to worn area $(D_p)$ would be saturated to specific value. This is because wear particle layer could accommodate large strain by accumulating and transforming wear particle layer. However, in water condition, metal-to metal contact was more dominant and wear volume was greatly affected by changed mechanical behavior between contact surfaces since wear debris should be generated after repeated plastic deformation and fracture. After wear test, worn surfaces were examined using optical microscope and SEM and details of wear mechanism were discussed using a ratio of wear volume to worn area $(D_e)$ at each test condition.

Truing process is a very important process for recovering the shape of wheels worn by continuous grinding operation. In this study, the devices, controller, and spindle for electro-discharge truing were developed, and the electro-discharge truing method was applied to metal-bonded grinding wheels and compared with the conventional truing method. The shapes of the grinding wheels were measured by a surface profile measurement device. The protrusion of abrasives on the surface of the wheels was compared with the conventional truing method using an optic microscope measurement device. The experimental results showed that the performance of the electro-discharge truing method, in terms of the protrusion of abrasives on the surface of the wheels and the recovery of the shape of the worn wheels, was similar to that of the conventional truing method.

In this paper, the procedure to estimate fatigue crack initiation life has been established by considering fretting wear and multiaxial stress states on the contact surface of press-fitted shafts. And a method to calculate the local friction coefficient during the running-in period of fretting wear process has been proposed. The predicted result of worn surface profile in the press-fitted shaft with non-linear local friction coefficient can avoid excessive wear depth estimation compared with that for the case of constant local friction coefficient. Furthermore, the predicted fatigue crack initiation lives based on Smith-Watson-Topper model considering the fretting wear are in good agreement with the experimental data. Consequently, the present method is valid not only for predicting worn surface profile, but also for assessing fatigue crack initiation lives considering the fretting wear during the running-in period in press fits.

본 논문에서는 시일 설치면에서의 마멸발생기구를 정확하게 조사하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 미세입자가 시일과 스틸면 사이에 존재하는 경우의 접촉문제를 비선형문제해석 프로그램인 MARC를 사용하여 해석하였다. 이 결과, 시일의 재질은 스틸면에서의 응력분포와 변형형상에 아주 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 특히, PTFE와 같이 탄성계수가 높은 시일인 경우에 스틸 표면은 국부적으로 항복상태에 도달할 뿐만 아니라 시일을 제거한 후에도 영구변형과 함께 상당한 크기의 압축/인장 잔류응력이 존재하였다. 따라서, 시일과 스틸면 사이에 경질입자가 존재할 경우에는 연삭마멸과 함께 피로마멸이 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 다양한 설계변수에 대한 추가연구가 요구된다.

In grinding operations, one of the most important problems is to increase efficiency of process. In order to achieve this purpose, it is necessary to administer the tool lift of grinding wheel and to optimize grinding conditions. Frequently dressing result in lowering the process efficiency remarkably and makes production cost high. On the other hand, grinding with a worn wheel causes the workpiece surface roughness to increase and often results in the occurrence of such troubles as chatter vibration and homing.

A method of calculating wear amount which is based on digitally measured surface profile was suggested. The original profile of worn out profile was estimated from its adjacent surface profile by using least squares curve fitting with Fourier series. The approximated curve was well fitted to original surface profile. With this approach, more accurate calculation of the wear amount will be possible.

A magnetorheological (MR) fluid is a smart material whose rheological behavior can be controlled by varying the parameters of the applied magnetic field. Because the damping force and shear force of an MR fluid can be controlled using a magnetic field, it is widely employed in many industrial applications, such as in vehicle vibration control, powertrains, high-precision grinding processes, valves, and seals. However, the characteristics of friction caused by iron particles inside the MR fluid need to be understood and improved so that it can be used in practical applications. Surface process technologies such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are widely used to improve the surface friction properties. This study examines the friction characteristics of an MR fluid with different surface process technologies such as PTFE coatings and DLC coatings, by using a reciprocating friction tester. The coefficients of friction are in the following descending order: MR fluid without any coating, MR fluid with a DLC coating, and MR fluid with a PTFE coating. Scanning electron microscopy is used to observe the worn surfaces before and after the experiment. In addition, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy is used to analyze the chemical composition of the worn surface. Through a comparison of the results, the friction characteristics of the MR fluid based on the different coating technologies are analyzed.

Friction behavior of nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) film was investigated. A 60 ${\mu}m$ thick AAO film having nanopores of 45 nm diameter with 105 nm interpore-diatance was fabricated by mild anodization process. The AAO film was then saturated with paraffinic oil. Reciprocating ball-on-flat sliding friction tests using 1 mm diameter steel ball as the counterpart were carried out with normal load ranging from 0.1 N to 1 N in an ambient environment. The morphology of worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The friction coefficient significantly increased with the increase of load. The boundary lubrication layer of paraffinic oil contributed to the lower friction at relatively low load (0.1 N), but it is less effective at high load (1 N). Plastic deformed layer patches were formed on the worn surface of oil-enriched AAO at relatively low load (0.1 N) without evidence of tribochemical reaction. On the other hand, thick tribolayers were formed on the worn surface of both oil-enriched and as-prepared AAO at relatively high load (1 N) due to tribochemical reaction and material transfer.

A wear transition mechanism during sliding in glass has been observed. Disk specimens of sodalime-silicate glass were slid against AISI 52100 steel with paraffin oil as lubricant. Observations of the micrrx structural change on the worn surface showed that semi-circular cone cracks (SCCCs) were suddenly produced after a certain critical sliding time. These SCCCs brought about the severe damage in the form of extensive microchipping during further sliding. It was shown that the abrupt appearance of the SCCCs is attributable to the grooves formed during sliding, which act as surface flaws.
