This paper used aluminum-alloy-2A02 (paramagnetic) and High-Speed-Steel (HSS) W18Cr4V (ferromagnetic) as the research objects to study the effect of DC magnetic-field on the dry tribology performance adopting the mutual matching methods (aluminum-alloy pin to HSS ring and HSS pin to aluminum-alloy to HSS ring, respectively). The wear rate of aluminum-alloy ring coupled with HSS pin was larger than that of pin coupled with HSS ring, which indicated that the influence of contacted surface size and hardness of friction pairs should be considered in the tribological research and application. The material of high magnetic permeability led to the wear rate decreases under a magnetic-field. The mechanism of sliding wear namely the ferromagnetic debris is adsorbed by HSS surface under the magnetic force. The wear rate is affected by the magnetic force depending on pin/disc material in a magnetic-field. The friction coefficient of aluminum-alloy pin/HSS ring is larger than that of HSS pin/aluminum-alloy ring, indicating the high difference of magnetic permeability for the coupled materials is disadvantageous to the antifriction effect of magnetic-field.
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.
