Abstract:General reductions in lubricant viscosities and increased loads in many machine components mean that the role of tribofilms has become increasingly important to provide adequate surface protection against scuffing. However, the relationship between the scuffing process and the growth and removal of tribofilm has not been systematically demonstrated. In this study, a multidisciplinary coupling model, which includes hydrodynamic lubrication, asperity contact, thermal effect, tribochemistry reaction, friction, an… Show more
