The sliding wear behaviour of newly developed ferrous powder metallurgy samples was investigated under dry sliding conditions. Wear tests were conducted by varying the normal loads of 30 N, 40 N, and 50 N at a constant velocity of 1 m/s and then at a constant load of 30 N by varying the sliding velocities by 0.5 m/s, 1 m/s, and 2 m/s at room temperature. Furthermore, the variations in the wear rate and coefficient of friction at a constant sliding distance of 5400 m were studied at different normal loads keeping sliding velocity constant at 1 m/s as well as at different sliding velocities and maintaining normal load at 30N. The wear characteristics were evaluated using weight loss measurements. The mechanism of wear was observed using scanning electron microscope and compositional analysis using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was found that increased normal load had a dominant effect on the wear loss in comparison to increased sliding speed during the tribological testing of the powder metallurgy samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
