Abstract

The heat flux generated due to friction between two metal bodies and the corresponding convective heat transfer coefficient are calculated from the basics of heat transfer. The dry sliding friction in pin-on-disc is considered for analysis and respective model is established using finite element method. Later the temperature distribution in pin and disc material are analyzed. As pin material exposed to surrounding atmosphere, the temperature and coefficient of heat convection is highest at the centre and gradually decreased towards outer surface and away from the friction contact surface of the pin. Due to the dry sliding friction the flow of heat and temperature rose rapidly at the initial stages and later reached the equilibrium stages. It is proved with good agreement in comparison of experimental and simulation results. The present work concentrates on the feasibility in studying pin-on-disc dry sling friction by simulation method.
