Investigation of Three Body Abrasive Wear Behavior of Micro-Nano Sized Iron Ore Pieces on Bronze

Abstract

In In this work, the three-body abrasive wear of bronze (C86200) in pig cart transmissions was examined. Micro-nano-sized ore particles were introduced to the lubricating media during the Ball-on-flat test to represent three-body abrasive wear. Load shear rate and lubricating medium were useful research inputs. Outputs included examining sample surfaces, mass loss, friction coefficient, and trace depth. Taguchi, ANOVA, and RSM were used to analyze experimental data. The most effective parameter for all outputs was the load value, with a rate of 55.76 percent, while the speed had the lowest influence on mass loss, at 9.74 percent. The regression model fits these results well.
