Abstract
Experimental results reveal that the temperature rise of two contacting bodies in relative sliding motion is related to the wear rate. Experimental wear tests pertain to a ring-on-ring configuration for two sets of contacting materials: Bronze SAE 40 on Steel 4140 and 70-30 Brass on Steel 4140. Temperature variation within the contacting bodies during the tests is measured using a thermocouple. It is shown that the temperature of the interface can effectively characterize the steady-state wear. The results of the present approach are verified by calculating Archard's wear coefficient using the relationships derived in this paper and compared to published values in literature. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
