Abstract
The “pin on disc” and the “crossed cylinder” methods have been studied, with the collaboration of manufacturers and users, in a number of research programmes on the wear behaviour in industrial presses; and on the classification of wear resistant parts on machines, cutting and milling tools, and engine components, such as valve seats and valve materials. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed and the critical variables have been assessed in the wear behaviour of materials in rubbing or rotating contact. Materials studied include irons, wear resistant alloy steels, and simple carbon steels. Sliding friction was studied with a variety of solid lubricants used in the press tool industry to prevent friction, seizing and wear. The coefficients of friction were determined on the pin on disc equipment; and abrasive wear rates in the absence of lubricants were mea.3v.red on a crossed cylinder wear test rig, where abrasive grits were used to simulate “dirt”, soil, machine debris, etc. From the information gathered it was possible to estimate the probable life in service of a particular wear resistant material.
