Experimental Comparison of the Tribological Properties of Selected Surfaces Created by Thermal Spraying Technology

Abstract

The scientific article titled “Experimental comparison of the tribological properties of selected surfaces created by thermal spraying technology” deals with the surface condition of selected pairs working within the mixed friction before and after experimental tests. Based on the chosen methodology, the experimental tests were performed on the Tribotestor M’06 testing machine. The ecological oil MOGUL HEES 46 (manufactured by Paramo) was used as a lubricant. The tests were performed on selected material pairs. The first friction element was a shaft of steel 14 220. The second friction element was a steel plate of steel 11 373 with a friction surface created by two materials, i.e. CuSn10 and NP 40. The results are statistically elaborated and illustrated in figures and tables.

The Effect of Friction Behaviour and Wear Protection Ability of Selected Base Lubricants on Tribo-pairs Parameters of Machine Components

“…Working machines in the forestry and agricultural sectors are constantly exposed to an adverse working environment [1,2]. But, in the case of insufficient maintenance of these machines, the impact of the unfavourable environment occurs on their frequent premature failures, which results in their high recovery costs [3][4][5].…”
