Abstract:Exploring the wear mechanisms of tribo-pairs is essential to reducing friction and wear. Although it has been known that the wear mechanisms between reciprocating sliding motion (RSM) and unidirectional sliding motion (USM) are different, the differences are seldom reported, which causes trouble for many researchers in selecting proper tribo-pairs or wear test methods. Herein, we systematically explore the effect of RSM and USM on the wear mechanism for several typical friction and lubricant materials, such as… Show more
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.
