Experimental Investigation On Effect Of Grinding Direction On Wear Under Heavy Load And Slow Speed Conditions With Molybdenum Disulphide (Mos2) As Additive In Commercial Lubricant, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, S. M. Muzakkir, Harish Hirani
Innovative Research Publications IRP India
In the present work, experimental investigation has been carried out to identify the effect of grinding direction on the wear of the sliding surfaces subjected to heavy load and low sliding velocity with molybdenum disulphide MoS2 as additive in commercial lubricant. The conformal block and disk test setup has been used to conduct experiments on conformal blocks with two grinding directions: one along the direction of sliding and other across the direction of sliding. The wear of the block is measured as its weight loss after the test. The results of the experiments are reported.

Effect Of Molybdenum Disulfide Particle Sizes On Wear Performance Of Commercial Lubricant, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, S. M. Muzakkir, Harish Hirani
Innovative Research Publications IRP India
Experimental investigations have been conducted for determination of effectiveness of employing a combination of three particle sizes (40 nm size, 1.75 μm size and 53 μm size) of Molybdenum Disulphide as anti-wear additive in a commercial lubricant. The conformal block and disk configuration has been used to conduct experiments for determination of wear of the sliding surfaces. The performance of the proposed combined particle sizes anti-wear additive is compared with single particle size anti-wear additives to establish its robustness under varying surface conditions.

It was found that the Bi-containing workpiece possess the best surface roughness value and lowest cutting force due to formation …
Improved Friction And Wear Performance Of Micro Dimpled Ceramic-On-Ceramic Interface For Hip Joint Arthroplasty
Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya
The purpose of this study is to investigate the tribological effect of micro-dimpled surface textures for application in ceramic-on-ceramic hip prostheses. A rectangular array of circular dimples was selected as the texture pattern. A CNC micro drilling machine was used to fabricate these dimples on a flat ceramic substrate. Tribology tests were performed by using a pin-on-disk method with selected hertzian contact pressures and speeds based on normal gait of a hip joint, and results compared with non-dimpled surface. A dimpled surface with large dimple diameters and a high dimple density (phi 400 mu m and density 15%) showed significant …
Compatibility Of Automotive Materials In Biodiesel: A Review
Compatibility Of Automotive Materials In Biodiesel: A Review
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Use of biodiesel in automobile can significantly reduce our dependence of fossil fuel and help reduce environmental pollution. However, there are concerns over the compatibility of currently used automotive materials in biodiesel. A few automobile manufacturers extended their warranty only to lower blends of biodiesel (e.g. B5). Higher blends (e.g. B50 or B100) are still not covered by warranty. In automobile fuel system, metallic materials like ferrous alloy and non-ferrous alloys, and elastomers come in contact with fuel. Biodiesel, having different chemical characteristics from diesel, can interact with materials in a different way. It can cause corrosive and tribological attack …

This study involves the failure analysis of an ultra high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial insert from Apollo® Total Knee System, which was removed after 10. years of service from 70. years old female patient. The tibial insert was investigated by using a stereoscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), infinite focus microscope (IFM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) to characterize the morphology and composition of the bearing surface. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to characterize the degradation and crystallinity of the component. Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) was used to measure the polyethylene tibial insert molecular weight. Results …

A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Biodiesel, as an alternative fuel is steadily gaining attention to replace petroleum diesel partially or completely. The tribological performance of biodiesel is crucial for its application in automobiles. In the present study, effect of temperature on the tribological performance of palm biodiesel was investigated by using four ball wear machine. Tests were conducted at temperatures 30, 45, 60 and 75 °C, under a normal load of 40 kg for 1 h at speed 1200 rpm. For each temperature, the tribological properties of petroleum diesel (B0) and three biodiesel blends like B10, B20, B50 were investigated and compared. During the wear …
Study Of The Wear Behaviour Of Al-4.5% Cu-3.4% Fe In Situ Composite: Effect Of Thermal And Mechanical Processing
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Al-Cu-based MMCs reinforced by Al-Fe intermetallics are investigated for their wear behaviour. The composite (Al-4.5 mass% Cu-3.4 mass% Fe) was produced by solidification processing where the Al-Fe-based intermetallic formed in situ in a matrix of mainly Al-Cu alloy. The effects of thermal and mechanical processing, viz., as-cast condition, solution treatment, aging and hot rolling on the wear behaviour of the composites were examined. The composites were characterized by optical microscopy, SEM, microhardness measurements and X-ray diffraction. The wear behaviour of the composites was studied in a pin-on-disc type wear apparatus. The as-cast in situ composite exhibited the highest wear rate. …
Chemical And Structural Nature Of Tribo-Surface Of Aluminium-Sic Composites At Nanometre And Micrometre Length Scales
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
The worn surface of Al-SiC metal matrix composites (MMC) sliding against phenolic brake pad at a linear sliding speed of 1.62 m s-1 under contact pressures of 0.75-3.00 MPa in a pin-on-disc apparatus was investigated. XPS was used to extract information from the top few nanometres of the worn surface, while scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (SEM-EDX) provided information from within a few micrometres. Results reveal that the surface of Al-SiC undergoes significant chemical and physical changes during wear. The tribo-surface on Al-SiC is converted into a mixture that contains the constituents of Al-SiC and the phenolic …

Two aluminum metal matrix composites (MMC) reinforced with 13 vol.% of SiC or B4C particles were made by stir casting followed by hot extrusion. Effects of sliding velocity on the wear, friction and tribochemistry of the worn surfaces of both composites sliding against a commercial phenolic brake pad have been investigated under dry condition. The wear tests were carried out using a pin-on-disc type apparatus at two linear sliding speeds: 1.62 and 4.17 m s-1 under a constant contact pressure of 0.75 MPa for a sliding distance of 5832 m. The coefficient of friction was recorded and wear rate of …
