Abstract
This study presents the influence of initial deflection angle (IDA) on the tribological properties of gray cast iron (GCI) rings with curve distributed pits in the radial direction (CDPRD). The thermal behavior of pits textured GCI rings with different initial deflection angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°) and fixed deflexional angle of adjacent pits (DAAP, 10°) were researched, through APDL programming. A pin-on-disc wear test rig was used to reveal the anti-wear performance of samples under dry sliding, at a rotating speed of 200 rpm, with a normal load of 70 N. An electronic balance and an optical microscope (OM) were used to obtain their wear losses and worn surfaces, respectively. The results show that: comparing with the smooth GCI ring, there are evident high temperature regions between two adjacent pits groups, called “temperature barrier and separation effect”. Among all textured samples, the von Mise’s stress of IDA45 is the most stable, and its temperature is almost the lowest. The friction coefficient curve and the wear loss of IDA45 are also the lowest, and much lower than the loss of smooth GCI ring, indicating the excellent anti-wear performance. This work can provide a valuable reference for the surface design of journal bearings.Keywords
