Abstract:In order to better understand the occurrence of surface damage in low lambda, Λ, conditions, an experimental study was conducted. The surface damage investigations have been made based on the relationship between Λ values and surface roughness. In this study, the ball roughness, rotational speed, and oil viscosity were varied to obtain a specific Λ value which ranges from 0.10 to 0.90. It was found that three different surface damage modes, namely wear, micro-pitting, and no damage occurred depending on the ba… 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.
