Initial frictional behavior during the wear of steel, aluminum and poly(methyl methacrylate) on abrasive papers

A series of experiments were conducted to investigate and model the friction break-in behavior for unlubricated reciprocating sliding of AISI 52100 steel, 2014-T4 aluminum, and poly(methyl methacrylate) on metallographic polishing papers. A ball-on-flat arrangement was used. Two representations of a...

Summary:A series of experiments were conducted to investigate and model the friction break-in behavior for unlubricated reciprocating sliding of AISI 52100 steel, 2014-T4 aluminum, and poly(methyl methacrylate) on metallographic polishing papers. A ball-on-flat arrangement was used. Two representations of an analytical model were used, one of which had the capability to account for longer term friction transitions due to paper loading. Basic shapes of friction vs. cycle number curves were similar; however, the poly-(methyl methacrylate) and aluminum had larger changes during break-in and displayed longer term effects of paper loading.
