Abstract
The contact stresses of materials in moving mechanical assemblies are rather important for minimizing friction and decreasing machinery energy dissipation. In this study, the effect of contact stresses on the friction and wear behaviors of TiAl-10 wt.%Ag was studied at 0-240 min using the united methods of experiment research, numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. The results showed that the high contact stresses led to the plastic deformation of TiAl-10 wt.%Ag at 0-50 min. The friction coefficients and wear rates decreased rapidly with the lowering of contact stresses from 1034.28 to 710.52 MPa. At elastic deformation stage (50-240 min), the forming of lubricating film was beneficial to the decrease in friction coefficients and wear rates at 50-150 min, whereas the lower contact stresses caused the increasing of friction coefficients and wear rates. The competition between film lubrication and contact stresses caused the lowering of friction coefficients and wear rates at 50-150 min. At 150-240 min, the lubricating film maintained the equivalent lubricating behaviors, whereas the lowering of contact stresses led to the slight improving of friction coefficients and wear rates. This study was meaningful for optimizing applied loads to realize the excellent contact stress state and tribological behavior of mechanical parts.
